Moxie, I call 'em like I see them. If Rudy wins, he's going to have everyone Goosestepping down Broadway and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Perhaps "Fascist" is a better term than "Nazi;" to his credit, I've never seen Rudy display any antipathy towards the Jews. Blacks are another story.

Is the city better off after Rudy? Chronologically, yes. But that's the result of forces he had nothing to do with: The improved economy under Clinton, the Drop in crime that began under Ray Kelly in the last year of Dinkens' term, continued precipitously under Bill Bratton & Jack Maple, then slowed down after Rudy sacked them in a fit of ego. Truth is, Rudy takes credit for a logt of things he had nothing to do with. To be fair, all politicians do the same. But I'd be hard pressed to point to one initiative that was Rudy's all on his own that really made New York a better place.
