Bergen (NJ) Record endorses Kerry for President
This is the largest paper in NE New Jersey for a county with a population of almost 1 million:

Sunday, October 24, 2004

IF you hired someone to manage your affairs, but he spent all your savings and drove you deeply into debt, you would fire him. If he insulted some of your oldest friends and turned them against you, you would fire him. If he put your children in harm's way, risked their lives, and misled you about the reasons, you would fire him.

President George W. Bush has done all these things to the United States in his four years in office - and it's time to fire him.

John Kerry is the better choice for president. He promises a change in direction for the nation. He would still wage war on terrorism but engage in preemptive strikes only as a last resort. He would return respect for the United States abroad and focus more on the concerns of the middle class and the poor at home.

Mr. Bush has led the nation down paths that have left us less safe and less financially secure. Confronting a clear enemy that attacked us on Sept. 11, 2001, he then took the war on terror off course and onto a battleground that had nothing to do with Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, and everything to do with his obsession with Saddam Hussein.

1. I like this endorsement....
over the WP's endorsement that whores for Bush almost the entire article but then endorses Kerry....WTF?

If the WP had done their job the past 4 years they may have help put pressure on impeaching Bish for his high crimes and misdemeanors, but instead they priase the monkey....FUCK THE WP!

2. I hope you can read the rest of it
It is a subscription site. This is the most scathing editorial I have ever read in a newspaper, especially The Record, which has in the past endorsed Bush41, Reagan and other Repugs.

5. Not yet
They have not gotten around to the NJ 5th yet, where I live. I want to get rid of that wingnut Garret in the worst way but our district is gerrymandered so that it is virtually impossible.
