#2 Koch's support for Bush is not new: he's made a number of public statements like this before.

Koch can say that he's "a liberal with sanity", but I think it's more accurate to say he's a remnant of the "old" Democratic Party, the Democratic Party that used to think of Republicans as the opposition- not the "enemy".

There's a big difference, and that difference is even more vital when the nation's security is at stake. And that's why, after 31 years as a Democrat, I became a Republican a year ago: today's Democrats cannot be entrusted with our lives and futures.

#3 Dave, I'm with you. I've been a Democrat for 45 years (gulp) and never, ever voted Republican. I'm now GOP. 9/11, Bush's handling of it, the Democrats horrific behavior since, all have convinced me. They aren't serious about the existential threat facing us. Until they become so, I'll not vote for a Dem again.

#4 My vote for Bush in 2004 will be my first vote for a Republican president. I voted for the Libertarian Browne in 2000 as a protest because, even as a Democrat, I never could stand Al Gore. What he did to Dukakis (Willie Horton) and Bradley (NJ racial profiling) were disgusting and I was/am so relieved that Gore wasn't president on 9/11.

Go! W! Go!

#5 Dave D., did you see my reply to your question yesterday about the Captain who lost a leg in Viet Nam and continued to serve? Could it be Frederick M. Franks Gen US Army (Ret)
