Consider the following short article by David Brooks:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/23/opinion/23brooks.html?ref=todayspaper
In it, he claims that the "real" Rudy Giuliani is the outspoken liberal of ten years ago, and that the current "conservative" Giuliani is fluff and hot air. I think Mr. Brooks is being more than a little naive here. More than being a liberal or a moderate or a conservative or a Republican or a Democrat, Mr. Giuliani is a politician. And the only "real" characteristics of politicians are those of extreme narcissism, loyalty to self, and love of power. There is no "real" Rudy Giuliani, save the one that casts aside wives when he grows tired of them. Mr. Giuliani catered to the citizens of New York when they were his constituents. Now that he wants to be the Republican nominee for president, he is catering to the Republican party. Like all politicians, he has no inner convictions. He just wants to win the election and assuage his ridiculous ego.

better yet, does anyone honestly think there's a "real" politician at all?
we're suppose to have a representative government. we elect them as representatives of our opinions, thoughts, and beliefs. does that ever happen anymore?

There is a real Rudy, and he's busy somewhere boning his vagina of the month.
