I noted that I first became familiar with him during the Watergate hearings and I wish we had enough Democrats today perform the way he did in those. I also said, if I find out he’s been supporting Republicans on many things, I would opposed him on that ground. I won’t because he “campaigns” for a lifelong friend of the other party; particulary when “campaign” is not defined. It may simply be his vouching his belief that his friend is innocent. </p> <p>Before I lead any charges against him, there are a whole slew of Republcans against whom I can direct 100 percent of my disdain and enmity.</p> I don’t think I advocated just going by his war record.
