St Petersburg Times Florida........Goes KERRY

[bluedog]

John Kerry is better choice for president

"He has shown his commitment to his country on the battlefield and in public service, while George W. Bush has stumbled."


in part:
the president continues to try to defend the indefensible: pre-emptive war based only on the possibility that Iraq might one day have posed an imminent threat to the United States. That standard makes a mockery of American tradition and international law. It also sets a dangerous precedent that could be seized by other governments claiming a right to pre-emptive war.

The three presidential debates were a revelation for millions of Americans who until then had known Kerry primarily through the distortions of the Bush campaign. They saw a poised, statesmanlike candidate who talked much more honestly than the president has about our challenges at home and abroad. They also saw a candidate whose mainstream plans for meeting those challenges bear little resemblance to the Bush campaign's scare stories.

"People were screaming and hollering because they weren't getting tickets," said Pat Gohl of St. Petersburg, comparing the mob scene at the grocery to a ticket booth before a football game.

Her companion, Mary Almquist, said an elderly man threatened to hit her, after Almquist told him to shut up while a nurse announced the shortages.

Store managers called the St. Petersburg Police Department, which sent two officers and a sergeant to help restore calm. Some in the line began talking about the coming election.
