SANTA FE, NM - Santa Fe City Councilor David Pfeffer issued the following statement regarding his decision to break party lines and support President George W. Bush for re-election:
"We are at war. The attacks on September 11, the killing of innocent civilians, the vicious hatred of America by the perpetrators, the danger of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of those who would do us great harm given half the chance - all demonstrate how much is at stake.
"We need a decisive leader - someone with a clear understanding of our enemies' intentions and with no illusions about the seriousness of our situation - leadership that doesn't doubt itself or its orders or its ability to win - leadership that knows what it has to do and does it.
"Luckily, Democrats, like me, have a decisive leader that we can support. It just happens that he is a Republican.
"I will be voting in November to re-elect President Bush because I know he has no doubts about the value of keeping us free."
Bravo!
"Luckily, Democrats, like me, have a decisive leader that we can support. It just happens that he is a Republican."
Is this guy taking a political risk in supporting Bush? I thought Santa Fe is a typical leftist artisty town.

I like it. I like it. Hmmm, don't think I'll see this on network news tonight.
New Mexico, excluding Santa Fe, is more independent than one party or the other. In 2000, the state went for Bush by a slight margin, then . . . someone "discovered" a bundle of ballots in Socorro and, yep, turned out be 600 for Gore, enough to give the state to the Dems.
Santa Fe, as you say, is artsy-lefty painfully PC, so his declaration is bold and daring. Good for him!!
"Luckily, Democrats, like me, have a decisive leader that we can support. It just happens that he is a Republican."
Classic line......Bravo for another Patriot!!!!!!!
'Tis one more reason not to watch it (evening news). All the news I need, I get here at FR. Most importantly, I get the Freepers' reaction to the news.
Not condemning you, I totally agree with you. Zell Miller/David Pfeffer Double Democrat crossover PING!!!
Welcome news!
I wonder if the Councilor Pfeffer voted for Fanta Se's living wage ordinance. The City Different is one of the most anti-business spots in the nation.
Be still my heart. I didn't know we had ANY intelligent RATS in NM. This is amazing. :-)
Yes, he's probably taking a political risk, but I guess he;s counted the cost, and would rather be safe than a Democrat. Santa Fe, is a real lefty haven.
Sometimes it just boils down to what is right.
Never mind... reading comprehension would help me.
That site is Santa Fe, Texas, so duh
