The McCain Campaign
Posted on 03/08/2007 5:50:47 PM PST by areafiftyone
Rep. Peter King (R-NY), former Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has endorsed former Mayor Rudy Giuliani for President in 2008, according to the New York Daily News.
This is newsworthy because King co-chaired Sen. John McCain's New York campaign in 2000.
FROM THE NY DAILY NEWS:
Rudy Giuliani has wooed Rep. Peter King away from Sen. John McCain. King co-chaired McCain's New York campaign in the 2000 White House race, but the Long Island congressman says he'll now be lining up other House members for Giuliani. The ranking Republican on the Homeland Security Committee tells us he thinks Giuliani is "best qualified to fight terrorism." Giuliani and King got to know each other while serving as summer legal interns. "We'd both ride the Long Island Rail Road into Manhattan," recalls King. "Last Friday, we took Amtrak down to D.C. for a conservative conference. I said to myself, 'Forty years later, and I'm still riding the train with Rudy."
Again?
LOL! I'm sorry! :-)
....but, but.....Rep. King is a conservative....how could this be?....*wink*.....*smile*.....

McCain is far from out of it.
Peter King is a straight shooter.
And he is fearless against the Islamofascist in his own district, too, exposing one particular mosque as one that is preaching hate and violence against America.
Peter King is not running for POTUS.
The liberal Rudy Giuliani is running for POTUS, and his record is anything but conservative.

The McCain Campaign
Yes I have to agree with you. McCain is running second in alot of polls.
Thanks. Man, I was REALLY wrong. King seems good on Homeland Security but can't these idiots see one reason we haven't been hit by individual suicide bombers is we have individual weapons?
1993 WTC and Oklahoma bombing didn't really suggest that. We can be hit by a suicide bomber anytime any place.
Awesome -- thanks for posting that info. I always considered him as being someone with a spine unlike some of the jellyfish we have in the House. This proves it!
I'm not saying they were suicide but they were bombs nonetheless.
Weeks ago I was told Pete was going to support Rudy, imagine another Conservative going with Rudy!!!
Thank you. Without your help, I would never have known I'm actually a liberal. Pardon me while I go drown myself. /s
LOL - I would love to see Hunter knock McCain right out of the running!
ROFLMAO!
No, McCain is way out of it - way, way out. Trust me on this.
King had a slight scare in November when his percentage of the vote dropped below 60%.
