Hillary Clinton V. Rudy Giuliani
The two choices of candidates that I chose would win their party's nomination were Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party and Rudy Giuliani for the Republican Party. In comparing the two it is evident that they both have much experience in the field of politics and that they are both hard-working, and firm in their beliefs that will result in the outcome for our country's future.
Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton is in the lead in the Democratic nomination for the 2008 Presidential Campaign. The lead Clinton holds within her campaign gives her double the support over her rivals. Clinton is a former first lady serving in the Senate in her second term and is most popular within American politics for her well-known name. Hillary Clinton's accomplishments include her ability to raise as much or more money than any of her rivals, and a résumé of political activity that dates back decades, including six years in the Senate and a reelection victory in November. She has also taken upon many harsh attacks from her critics which shows her dedication and strength within politics. Clinton is in fact ahead on the issues within the economy, but her ability to talk or give plans about the war is quite behind.
Rudy Giuliani is in the lead within the Republican Campaign. His passion for establishing safety, and for living up to name to be an outstanding leader for the city of New York proves that he has the ability to be our country's next leader. Giuliani is an anti-gun, pro-gay, and pro-choice former mayor of New York City. While Mayor of New York, Giuliani returned accountability to City government and improved the quality of life for all New Yorker citizens. It was also under his leadership that, overall crime went down 57%, murder has been reduced 65%, and New York City - once infamous around the world for its dangerous streets, has been awarded by the F.B.I. as the safest large city within the United States for the past five years.
In comparing the views of both Clinton and Giuliani in the issue of abortion, Clinton has held fast to her opinions on the issue. She recognizes the views in preventing unplanned pregnancies, promoting adoption, recognizing the influence of religion in abstinence and championing what she has long called "teenage celibacy". Clinton is pro-choice of the women in the situation realizing it is a moral issue that a person must make on their own. "With all of this talk about freedom as the defining goal of America, let's not forget the importance of the freedom of women to make the choices that are consistent with their faith and their sense of responsibility to their family and themselves."
"Note the concluding words: faith, responsibility, family. This is the other side of Clinton's message: against the ugliness of state control, she wants to raise the banner of morality as well as freedom."
When confronted by issues in dealing with abortion, Giuliani holds the view of abortion as a "moral wrong, yet as an individual right". "Church leaders say they are frustrated by prominent Catholic politicians like Mr. Giuliani who argue that while they are personally opposed to abortion, they do not want to impose their beliefs on others." Mr. Giuliani said, "My view on abortion is that it’s wrong, but that ultimately government should not be enforcing that decision on a woman." Many American people, specifically Catholics, are perplexed and wonder why Giuliani does not seem to be taking a grounded and responsible response to the issue of abortion. According to different sources and in analyzing different quotes it seems as though, he knows what he believes, but seems as though he does not want to believe what he wants to uphold for the country.
In conclusion to comparison of the positions which Clinton and Giuliani hold on the issue of abortion, it is my opinion, and not other sources, but simply through reviewing speeches and quotes of the two candidates that Hillary Clinton seems as though she knows precisely the view she holds and is in pursuit to bring resolution to the issue of abortion. Now, Giuliani is firm in his position, yet has moral issues on the subject yet seems though that he feels he must say what the country wants to hear. In the end, both candidates are pro-choice.
Hillary Clinton is a very intelligent, strong, and liberal woman that I believe will be in the running for the 2008 Presidential Elections. She has shown leadership with being a Senator and she has proven herself a woman who is ready to take on political issues and fend for herself. I truly believe she has a great opportunity to win, but she has two factors that I believe do not work in favor. What are these two issues that could result in her loss? First, she is a woman. I don't care what anyone says or believes, I do not think our country is ready to elect a woman for President of our country;it doesn't seem natural and the fact that she is such a strong, liberal woman may not result in her benefit either. The second issue is that she holds the Clinton name. She is Bill Clinton's wife and people of America may not be ready for the Clinton family to be back in the White House. Though these reasons may seem very vague, I believe they are exactly what is going through the minds of the people in our country. Rudy Giuliani has also shown great leadership by being the Mayor of New York City and I believe he is firm in his beliefs and he could lead this country in a manner that is sufficient, but I believe it is his "wish-washy" responses to main political issues that may take him down and create an uneasy feeling among the American people. All in all, I believe Giuliani will win the 2008 Presidential election strictly because the country is not ready, or perhaps a bit unknowing with the fact that a woman would be running the country.
