Pro-choice, pro-gay right, pro-gun control Republican isn't a moderate for you? I know he was extremely hawkish, but otherwise, he was a moderate Republican. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal. He just had an awful campaign strategy and the primary schedule wasn't a help either. If McCain hadn't run, he may have won New Hampshire assuming Romney still imploded.
he was an uber-hawk and supported attacking Iran, torture, and warrantless wiretaps. If anything, Giuliani was the closest thing to a pure neoconservative in high-level elected office. Gun control is a fake issue, and abortion is for the most part also, because Roe v Wade is never going to be overturned. Unfortunately, in contemporary American political discourse, the labels "conservative" and "liberal" are largely determined by two or three social issues.
