I’ll take Rudy Giuliani because he has the right flaws. The problem with people like Hilary Clinton or even George Bush is that they believe themselves to be flawless.
Bush is “flawless by faith.”
Hilary is “flawless” by politics. To devoted lefties all that is good is on the left. All else is Error. They can be surprising dogmatic and inflexible about this belief.

The problems associated with anyone who believes they are God or that they can speak authoritatively and definitively for God are probably obvious. Nevertheless, let’s review. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Consider Bush invading Iraq for no logical reason or equally explicable, nominating Harriet Meyers for the Supreme Court. None could dissuade him from disaster because after all, he had spoken to God and God told him he was good to go.
Now if Hilary became Commander in Chief, what could we expect? We have already seen that Hilary believes herself incapable of error. It’s always the fault of a Right Wing Conspiracy or the Boys Club beating up the girl. It is never that Hilary made a mistake. It’s always someone else’s fault. So should we put someone who believes she can do no wrong into the most powerful job in the world? I don’t think so. Derbyshire, Separationism, and Jihad Watch : Conservative Swedes theory:: ...

Rudy on the other hand knows he done wrong. Several times. His position on abortion is nuanced. It has to be to get in under the radar. My only trepidation about Rudy is his view of civil rights. Like Bush, he sometimes seems to forget that everyone who did 9-11 came from outside of the US, and that therefore our borders and our foreign policy are the best ways to deal with the threat. Our civil liberties are not a threat, however much the Bush administration and it’s neo-con acolytes seem to think they are. One advantage that Giuliani has over Bush in this matter is that he has not been caught publicly playing grab ass with the Saudis and his family is not owned by oil money. In addition, I think congress will be more embolden to keep Rudy’s feet to the fire when it comes to protecting and defending the constitution and persevering our rights and freedoms. It will be good to see congress doing something other than buying our votes with our money for once.
Rudy Giuliani does realize that there is a group of people who wake and go to bed wanting to kill us and that we need to be prepared to do something about that. In my view, Iraq is not that thing we needed to do. All that was accomplished there was to give radical Islam a foothold in Iraq it never had before and to pave the way for a new Shiite state. Lord knows you can never have too many of those…
