Guiliani is [[liberal]] on social issues such as [[abortion]], gay rights and guns.  He attracted some support by conservatives by emphasizing law-and-order as mayor, which included reducing crime in New York City.  When U.S. Senator [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]] announced that he would retire in 2000, Guiliani raised millions of dollars from conservatives in an apparent attempt to defeat [[Hillary Clinton]] for that seat.  But after Guiliani raised all that money, he declined to run and many have no idea what happened to their donations.
