What is up with Ed Koch endorsing Bush?

[Killarney]

Is he still a Democrat?

I can't link to the article because it's on a conservative news website and I think that's against the rules.

1. Ed Koch is a whore

He's a has been, and when he comes out for Bush, he gets his old mug back on tv..:(

2. it's a larger web of "people with an agenda" than we know. The facade

of two parties and two choices canfuses many. Someimes we call the sellouts etc...

But that doesn't work here adn other times. I will use the term corporatism and the reach or companies that influence leaders, agendas and "people across both parties".

What we see is not what really drives the "show".

And bush drives this agenda...quite sickening...but as a puppet he does do thier bidding.

3. Its all about Israel and 9-11

Ed very much supports the war in Iraq as a decisive act against terrorism, and buys into the neo-con argument about reshaping the Middle East.

He has let his support for Israel and hatred for Muslims, especially as it pertains to 9/11 override whatever Democratic principles he once had.

4. I think Ed has been hanging out with ronnie baby!

5. Hasn't been a Democrat for some time

He endorses more Repugnants than Democrats appears to be more of a moderate repug than a real Democrat.

6. Does he

have a book he's trying to sell? Sounds like old Zig-Zag Zell!

8. His endorsement and Zell Millers doesn't help us.

Even though they are conservative turncoats the uniformed masses see a democrats endorsment and are swayed by that political breeze.

9. Exactly

11. Ed Koch is a whore for the corporate New York crowd.

Which generally encompasses Republicans and DINOs. In fact, if Lieberman were a congressman from New York, he'd be Ed Koch.
