This is hysterical. I found this on Blogs for Bush.

Blogs for Bush: Police Union Endorses Kerry... Why?

John Kerry has received an endorsement from the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO)– which backed Bush in the 2000 election. What does this mean? Not much really, because Interestingly enough, this same union also endorsed Bill Clinton back in 1992 and 1996.

Umm, so in other words they have a history of supporting the guy who gets the job.

Take that for what its worth.

Thanks, I will.

John Kerry voted for the Patriot Act and is now against it.

Well, that's not exactly true, but so what? Most Americans were for the Patriot Act and have begun to see it as flawed legislation. Even in Republican strong-hold Alaska. Look, here's the deal, Matt, Bush has lost the full-on support of the Police and the NRA all in the same week. I can't believe I have to explain this to a republican, but supporting the police is about more than creating bureaucracy and hating criminals. It's about job security and respect for the sacrifices made. It's about honoring commitments and standing for what you say you stand for. Token gestures are not going to do it, and the policeman's union gets that.
