Can you believe this!
I was listening to my morning dose of talk radio when I heard.
Here is the article:
Democrat Koch supporting Bush - The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Calling himself a "liberal with sanity," former New York Mayor Ed Koch -- a lifelong Democrat -- said he decided to support President Bush in the 2004 election because of Bush's stance on Iraq.
"While I don't agree with Bush on any domestic matters, there's only one matter that's important in this race, and that relates to standing up to international terrorism, taking it on -- and George Bush has established that he is willing to do that," Koch said in an interview broadcast Sunday on WNBC-TV's News Forum.
Koch crossed party lines this year to endorse Bush. He said Bush's unwavering opinions contrast favorably with what he called the "hypocrisy" of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, who Koch said wavered on Iraq and gay marriage.
Koch was appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to recruit volunteers for the national Republican convention next week, a role that Koch conceded seemed "strange" to his friends.
"Whenever I go to a party, I will ask everybody, 'Who are you voting for?' And generally I'm the only one saying I'm voting for Bush," he said.
