"The Eagle can make no recommendation for president"
Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 09:37 PM by Ilsa
This is The Eagle from Bryan/College Station Texas, home of the GHW Bush Presidential Library. It is a very conservative place and I am extremely surprised they did not endorse Shrub:

SNIP George W. Bush is on the ballot again this year and, although we recommended him for president four years ago, we cannot do so again this year.

Nor can we recommend John Kerry.

Neither candidate has been able to articulate a clear and concise plan to deal with any number of issues critical to the voters of Central Texas and, indeed, the entire country, issues such as the war in Iraq, Social Security, the economy, jobs, education, the ever-mounting deficit, health care, immigration, energy, the environment and on and on.

SNIP

These and many other issues need to be addressed and platitudes and promises won’t do the trick. We don’t care what a young John Kerry or a young George W. Bush did 40 years ago during the national madness that was Vietnam. We want to know with some detail what their plans are to solve the great problems facing this country today and in the days to come.

SNIP
