Giuliani's authoritarian history

The Republican front runner for the nomination for President is Rudy Giuliani, by a long shot. So what kind of President would he be? Rachel Morris has looked at how he governed New York and reports on the issue.

The short answer is that he refused to follow any law that slows down getting what he personally wanted, and refused to provide accurate reports on how the city functioned. He refused to let the Auditors operate in city hall until forced to by the courts and refused to provide accurate reports on such things as crime statistics even after ordered to by the courts.

In short, Rudy practices all the worst management methods of the Cheney - Bush administration and could be expected to be a great deal worse than the current President.

Is America really ready for King Rudy the First? The Republican Party seems to think so.
