I am a lifelong Democrat. I was elected to New York's City Council, Congress and three terms as mayor of New York City on the Democratic Party line. I believe in the values of the Democratic Party as articulated by Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson and by Senators Hubert Humphrey, Henry "Scoop" Jackson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Our philosophy is: "If you need a helping hand, we will provide it." The Republican Party's philosophy, on the other hand, can be summed up as: "If I made it on my own, you will have to do the same."
Nevertheless, I intend to vote in 2004 to reelect President Bush. I will do so despite the fact that I do not agree with him on any major domestic issue, from tax policy to the recently enacted prescription drug law. These issues, however, pale in importance beside the menace of international terrorism, which threatens our very survival as a nation. President Bush has earned my vote because he has shown the resolve and courage necessary to wage the war against terrorism.

I agree, but leftist hatred runs deep in the democrat base.
Well Ed, Jimmuh Carter scaled down the military when he was in office for 4 years. Billy Jeff Blythe Literally Scuttled the Military for 8 years. What would happen to this country if a Democrat was elected to fill the Office of The President? One cannot even begin to fathom the horrors that would occur if that person was Hillary Rodham in 2008. Entrusting Hellary W/ National Security??? Just imagining Bill Clintoon with his own West Wing Office again is just too much for one person to ponder. You fight him on the domestic issues Ed, that's good, at least you publicly acknowledge your demoncratic party stands for nothing.
Yes, he was one of the judges on The People's Court. He was the second judge, after Joseph Wapner...he's not on there now...there's been two other judges, Jerry Sheindlin (Judge Judy's husband) and the current one, Marilyn Milian (originally appointed as a judge by Jeb Bush in Florida).
