Why Ed Koch (a Democrat) Supports Bush

It's one of the main reasons why I don't "write him off," too, even though he has done (or not done) some things that make me shake with anger (Such as allowing one of his personal friends to imprison two Border Patrol agents for more than ten years for doing their jobs, and not pardoning them). When asked, Koch said, "Bush surprised and impressed me with his resolve after September 11 to go after the terrorists and the countries that harbor them. He had the grit to topple the Taliban [in Afghanistan -RT], drive Saddam Hussein from power and press on in what is going to continue to be a grinding conflict." I like the fact that he has the courage of his convictions. Yes, mistakes were made by his subordinates and are in the process of being corrected. Another reason is there is NO ONE on the Democrat side that I'd trust with the presidency. Especially not Obama; OR Hillary; OR Kerry. All for much the same reasons: they're socialists and promote socialist programs. (Just common sense) Something most liberals and Democrats don't have. If they did have, they wouldn't be liberal Democrats.
