America is not as safe as we ought to be after 9/11. We can do a better job at homeland security. I can fight a more effective war on terror.

...cannot let McGreevey use a double standard. Homosexuality cannot be an excuse for adultery and granting political favors to personal friends. If McGreevey were a straight man, he would probably have been impeached already. As Governor, he should assume responsibility for his actions. ABILIO COLON San Juan, Puerto Rico...
