I am not a big Giuliani fan, but I would not hesitate to vote for him if the choice is between him and Hillary. I do not have time right now to catalogue the differences between the two but, with all due respect, your statement that they are virtually indistinguishable is ridiculous hyperbole. He certainly is liberal on many issues, but to say that he and Hillary are identical is just silly.
Perhaps someone else would like to provide some examples for TR? If no one does, I will try to get to this later.
In 1992, I voted libertarian because I was disgusted with George Bush's betrayal of me and others who had supported him in 1988. In fact, there is an old newspaper article out there somewhere starting off saying that I was "George Bush's worst nightmare," a staunch Republican who wouldn't support him because he had abandoned his base. My rationale was identical to that espoused by many here now. Many others voted as I did (for Perot, a third-party, or not at all), and we ended up with Bill Clinton for 8 years. Looking back, I do not believe that having a Democrat in the White House "woke people up" or otherwise advanced the conservative agenda. To the contrary, we took many steps back and we still have not recovered. I would vote differently this time around.
