Crawford Newspaper Endorses Kerry

ramoth4 writes "Local Crawford, TX (Bush's adopted hometown) paper The Lone Star Iconoclast has endorsed John Kerry for president. Kerry's home paper, the Boston Globe, hasn't come out with an endorsement yet. It's a very interesting editorial, especially in light of Bush's performance in the first debate."

The American Press is mostly a mouthpiece for the two major parties. It is very rare to find a good, objective article in most of the newspapers or on the TV.

I'm not at all suprised that newspapers would lift the text directly from the DNC website, after all, they've been lifting text from the Bush Administration for the last 3 years, the Clinton Administration before that, etc.

Re:Bush != Conservative

[ericspinder]

wow, you have convinced me using your carefully crafted logic.

[Balanced Bugdet] That's an economic policy goal, and it's one that not all conservatives agree about.

Kensian economics is not a conservative value.

[Protecting American Jobs] No, that's the opposite of the conservative position. Conservatives are for open markets and free trade.

Again you are confusing 'conservative' with another issue. Free trade is generally considered to be a liberal attitude, just look at who fought NAFTA.

[Not being involved in needless foreign wars.] Careful. Your biases are showing.

(how's this for bias)It was liberal democrats who lead us into WW1, WW2, and Vietnam. If you were a student of history, you would know that traditionally conservatives fought intervention in the afairs of other states. Of course this usually changes after the first shots are fired, many people are willing (like yourself) to believe the Iraq had something to do with Sept 11.

For many this election is as much about the Supreme court as it is about Iraq. Many conservatives have been quitely complaining about the Bush administration, but they are will to keep it down in deference for the 'holy grail' of single issue politics: making abortions illegal again. They want Bush to replace one of the 5 judges who rule in favor of a woman's right to choose. Considering their ages, it's a wonder that he hasn't had even one supreme court pick, of course the year isn't out yet.

Change the name

It would be more honest if you would change the name of this section from "Politics" to "Bush Sucks. Vote for Kerry."
