Hoffa's Comments on Kerry Leave Some Perplexed

(CNSNews.com) - Teamsters union chief Jimmy Hoffa has confused both environmentalists and free-market advocates after saying that Democratic front-runner John Kerry, if elected president, would "drill like never before" across the United States.

Hoffa made the comments during a Feb. 17 segment on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Matthews had asked Hoffa why the union chose to endorse the Massachusetts senator even though Kerry opposed drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).

"Well, we talked about that," Hoffa responded. "He says, look, I am against ANWR, but I am going to put that pipeline in and we're going to drill like never before."</font

Bush got the kid glove treatment his first time around....I heard someone say that a nexus-lexus search at that time showed only about 50-100 hits on the Bush story..... Clinton's story turned up 13,000 hits....

And BTW, many of Bob Doles campaign commercials included clips of him in a military hospital and in full uniform....so yes, he did run as a war hero.
