Rudy's Twelve Commitments

The Giuliani campaign just released Rudy's "Twelve Commitments," which the candidate outlined today in New Hampshire:
The Twelve Commitments:
1. I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists' War on Us.
2. I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.
3. I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.
4. I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.
5. I will impose accountability on Washington.
6. I will lead America towards energy independence.
7. I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.
8. I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.
9. I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.
10. I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
11. I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.
12. I will expand America's involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.
Fairly solid conservative agenda, until around #8 and #9. There's going to be a few folks wondering if Rudy should have put the "constructionist judge" issue above "adoptions," which is essentially his pro-choice views without the word "abortion."
On the other hand, conservatives and libertarians will cheer #11. If Rudy can make school choice and vouchers one of his signature issues, some will forgive #8.
