Fredericksburg, VA - Kerry!!
Yay!! Virginia is going BLUE!!


THE FREE LANCE STAR

John Kerry has a history of quality public service

Seldom has our choice been more clear, and never has our vote been more important, than in the current presidential campaign.

President Bush has in 31/2 years mortgaged our once-healthy economy, trashed our once-strong international relationships, and committed us to a badly managed war that did not need to be fought.

snip

Mr. Bush is an insult to the office of the presidency and needs to be removed.

Sen. John Kerry, despite the lies Mr. Bush tells, has a long record of service to our country. While Mr. Bush was "taking time off to help a friend's campaign in Alabama," Sen. Kerry was in harm's way, facing enemy fire and leading military raids into the jungles of Vietnam.

1. They seem clear.
I don't think I've ever seen endorsements like the ones being written this year.

Yoicks.

4. FREDERICKSBURG---ACTUALLY ENDORSED *

The one posted above was actually a letter to the editor.

Here are some snippets of the paper's endorsement of Stoop:
<snip>


Which is to say that George W. Bush is not the only candidate with a record; John F. Kerry has one also, and it should be a red flag to Americans in a dangerous day. Mr. Bush has made serious mistakes in judgment; Mr. Kerry's error is writ in his heart. His are not the convictions to take the fight to an enemy that sees 9/11 as a prelude, or to scour the Earth of a threat to liberty whose precursors, as both antiwar vet and U.S. senator, he more often sought to relieve than resist.

In a second term, Mr. Bush says that he aims to partly privatize Social Security, which would eventually shrink federal spending more radically than any programmatic tinkering. He will, we judge, persevere in Iraq and in the larger conflict with neo-barbarism. The country's economic foundation and, more crucially, its physical security are safer if he wins a second term, and we endorse his re-election.

9. It's OK, huckleberry. I wished they'd endorsed Kerry. I liked that ltte
that you linked. It was well-written. I live in Richmond, which isn't far from F'burg, and I think F'burg is pretty conservative. Not surprising they endorsed Shrub.

Hope that moves us a little closer in Virginia.

3. I notice that Kerry endorsements tend to be more positive toward him
While the ones for * are not very enthusiastic toward him.
