Democrats for Bush

By Thomas Sowell
Published September 7, 2004

---

Georgia Democratic Sen. Zell Miller's electrifying speech at the Republican Convention may overshadow the fact that another well-known Democrat -- former New York's former mayor, Ed Koch -- has also crossed party lines to support and campaign for President George W. Bush.
    Never a shrinking violet, Mr. Koch says he disagrees with Mr. Bush on virtually all domestic issues, but that the overriding issue of our time is the war on terrorism -- and that his own Democratic Party doesn't have the "stomach" (Mr. Koch's word) for the fight. Mayor Koch understands that if we don't win the war on terrorism, nothing else will matter.
    Supporters of both political parties, as well as independent voters, all need to understand what Ed Koch understands: This election is about life and death, in an age when nuclear weapons can be developed and sold to terrorists.
    This election is not even about who will be in the White House the next four years. It is about a war that must be fought for more years than any given president will occupy the White House.
    Just one weak administration can make the job harder for the administrations that follow -- and disastrous for the country.
    No small part of the audacity of those who attacked this country on September 11, 2001, resulted from the weakness of the Clinton years, when there were only token responses to acts of terrorism against Americans at home and abroad.

This election is about life and death, in an age when nuclear weapons can be developed and sold to terrorists.

Kerry tells the Harvard Crimson (Feb 1970),

“I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations . . . to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care." He also favors a negative income tax and keeping unemployment at a very low level, "even if it means selective economic controls."

He hasn't really changed.
