Rudy's Twelve Commitments

The Rudy Giuliani campaign has released its "Twelve Commitments to the American People":
I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us.
I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.
I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.
I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.
I will impose accountability on Washington.
I will lead America towards energy independence.
I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.
I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.
I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.
I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.
I will expand America’s involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.

There's nothing not to like there, though I expect some conservatives will have a problem with the abortion plank since it states he will "decrease" abortions and not "end" abortions (even though the president does not possess that power). All in all, it's a pretty conservative platform.

Rudy's problem will be his past actions and words don't necessarily match up well with these commitments, and he'll be constantly asked to explain the differences.
