He just received endorsement from Lieberman, The DeMoine Register and The New Hampshire Union Leader. The Economist (December 8, 2007, pg 42) is pointing out his qualifications: "he is such a familiar figure that it is easy to forget how remarkable he is. He fought heroically in Vietnam, spending more than five years as a prisoner of ware, when many other politicians of his generation discovered, like Dick Cheney, that they had 'other priorities'. He has repeatedly risked his political career by backing unpopular causes."
"He was the first senior Republican to criticize George Bush for invading Iraq with too few troops and the first to call for Donald Rumsfeld's sacking." The article goes on to critique the other candidates: Mr. Giuliani has lapses in judging character when he appointed Bernard Kerik as commissioner as well as promoting him for the job of Homeland Security. Bernard is turning out to be a typical thug and is under investigation. Mr. Huckabee is an attractive candidate but woefully lacking in experience and knows next to nothing about foreign policy and military affairs and his tax plans are otherworldly. A debate with Hilary would be a rout. Mitt Romney lags in national polls. McCain is a Republican in good-standing. He feels that other Republicans have betrayed Republican ideals. He fought against pork-barrel spending, enlarging the government, fought for campaign financing reform, etc. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
