A Bush Endorsement

Zell Miller is a man I admire and have for his entire career, and Joe Lieberman is a man of principle that I find decent and honorable. I wish both were Republicans. There are many men in politics who rise above their professions. Another Democrat is Randy Miller, judging by this.

In his book, John Kennedy said both national parties seek to serve the national interest. But when an officeholder finds the interests of party differ from the national interest, the first responsibility must not be to party, but to conscience.

The American people I know the ones I represent in St. Paul care about leaders who stand steady in difficult times, who do not waver nor bend to the wind. They want strong, determined leadership and, I believe George Bush provides us that leadership today at this point in our history.
