Ed Koch endorses...........

[bearfartinthewoods]

I am a lifelong Democrat. I was elected to New York's City Council, Congress and three terms as mayor of New York City on the Democratic Party line. I believe in the values of the Democratic Party as articulated by Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson and by Senators Hubert Humphrey, Henry "Scoop" Jackson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Our philosophy is: "If you need a helping hand, we will provide it." The Republican Party's philosophy, on the other hand, can be summed up as: "If I made it on my own, you will have to do the same."

Nevertheless, I intend to vote in 2004 to reelect President Bush. I will do so despite the fact that I do not agree with him on any major domestic issue, from tax policy to the recently enacted prescription drug law. These issues, however, pale in importance beside the menace of international terrorism, which threatens our very survival as a nation. President Bush has earned my vote because he has shown the resolve and courage necessary to wage the war against terrorism.

The Democrat now leading in the race, former governor Howard Dean, is a disgrace. His willingness to publicly entertain the slander that President Bush had advance warning of the September 11 attacks and his statement that America is no safer as a result of the capture of Saddam Hussein should have been sufficient to end his candidacy. But the radicals who dominate the primaries love the red meat that is thrown to them, even when it comes from a mad cow.

1. I'd prefer to win

than to loose with ultra liberal dialogue like Dean is touting,

besides, when it comes to policy, Clark is a lot more liberal and progessive than Dean IMHO

He really represents the direction I want the party to go,,

Big deal.

4. That's a shame

You'd think Koch would not endorse anyone instead of endorsing Bush. He might want to keep his shameful decision to himself.

But that's Ed Koch...

a clost repug

6. Well, somebody else

who has just dropped to absolutely rock bottom in my estimation. Maybe there really does need to be a major shakedown to separate the real Democrats from the fake ones.
