I just saw a clip from one of the debates where Rudy was talking about the immigration bill that's currently being fought over. At one point Rudy says "the litmus test of any legislation should be: "does it make things better?"
I must not have noticed the first time I saw him say this, but seeing this clip suddenly reminded me of Ron Paul's main litmus test for legislation, which is of course "is it allowed by the Constitution?" I thought that was an interesting contrast, and here is Rudy, saying straight out of his own mouth, what his criteria for supporting legislation is.
I think that it might be worthwhile for the Paul campaign to directly attack this Rudy quote. Maybe by having Paul recommend some books on civics to Rudy. I wonder if there is an "Idiot's guide to being President" book on the market.
