Is Giuliani a conservative dept

Let's keep looking at what he says. From today's NY Times, addressing conservative economic group: Giuliani "had plenty of harsh words for the Democrats, but he also turned his sights on Republicans in Congress on spending, saying they had become “just like the Democrats as far as spending money is concerned,’’ adding: “Shame on us! Shame on us!”...[he promised] to make “the Bush tax cuts” permanent. He promised to index the Alternative Minimum Tax for inflation. He promised to push for new “tax savings accounts” and “health savings accounts.” And he promised to end “anonymous earmarks” and create a new, “one-page tax form.”
He saved his main zingers for the Democrats, calling the Democratic candidates the “professional spenders” and saying they were, as a class, pushing for “socialized medicine.” He made fun of Senator Hillary Clinton’s idea of a $5,000 bond for newborns – again – saying of the price tag, “Hillary, that’s real money,’’ adding, “you and Bill can’t afford it.”

Doesn't sound like a liberal to me.
