Rudy On Nonbinding Resolutions

At a meeting with California Republicans Rudy deconstructed the uselessness of the Democrat congress:
"In the business world, if two weeks were spent on a nonbinding resolution, it would be considered nonproductive," Giuliani told the lunch crowd, setting off a burst of laughter. He called the concept "a comment without making a decision."
He went on:
"Presidents can't do nonbinding resolutions. Presidents have to make decisions and move the country forward, and that's the kind of president that I would like to be, a president who makes decisions."
The current congress has done very little besides clamoring with complaints and criticism. I defy anyone to explain the current coherent policy position of the Democrat Party with regard to Iran, for example.

And if these types of ad-hoc remarks are a preview of the lucid, intelligent discourse we can continue to expect from Giuliani, then it will be captivating to watch how he takes on a potential rival like the meticulously-scripted Hillary Clinton - a candidate whose positions are so equivocal it beggars belief.

Unless something unforseen happens, I'm backing Rudy all the way. He's a genuine leader.

Newt is the brightest, most talented conservative intellectual, but he doesn't have the likability that Rudy has (and the obvious factor Newt hasn't expressed interest in running).

My hope is Sam Brownback will by Rudy's VP pick. Brownback is a social conservative, but not a radical one. Brownback is perhaps the best candidate, but unfortunately, little known.
