Look, Rudy Giuliani is a capable administrator, but he's a divisive, paranoid prick whose go-it-alone, "my way or the highway" leadership style and bullying demeanor is the last thing America needs right now in the White House.
Rudy is a guy who posted police snipers on the roof of City Hall during a gay rights protest on the street below.
He also has no problem breaking the law to suit his petty, vindictive political purposes. When Patrick Dorismond was killed by the now-defunct street crimes unit in a botched drug "sting" operation, Giuliani, illegally, unsealed Dorismond's juvenile criminal record in an effort to discredit the deceased. Slimeball behavior from Mr. Law and Order, plain and simple.
He also mocked a man suffering from Parkinson's disease who called in to his weekly radio show to complain about mayoral policies:

And no disrespect intended to federal prosecutors, but the overly prosecutorial mindset that Rudy possesses is something to be very wary of in a man seeking national office.
