jasonxctf Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Tiny Crawford Newspaper Endorses Kerry 1 hour, 21 minutes ago CRAWFORD, Texas - A tiny weekly newspaper that bills itself as President Bush (news - web sites)'s hometown paper has endorsed John Kerry (news - web sites) for president, saying the Massachusetts senator will restore American dignity. The Lone Star Iconoclast, which has a weekly circulation of 425, said in an editorial dated Sept. 29 that Texans should rate the candidates not by hometown or political party, but by where they intend to take the country. "Four items trouble us the most about the Bush administration: his initiatives to disable the Social Security (news - web sites) system, the deteriorating state of the American economy, a dangerous shift away from the basic freedoms established by our founding fathers, and his continuous mistakes regarding Iraq (news - web sites)," the editorial said. The Iconoclast, established in 2000, said it editorialized in support of the invasion of Iraq and publisher W. Leon Smith promoted Bush and the invasion in a BBC interview, believing Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) possessed weapons of mass destruction. "Instead we were duped into following yet another privileged agenda," the editorial said. The newspaper praised Kerry for "30 years of experience looking out for the American people" and lauded his background as "a highly decorated Vietnam veteran." ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
