Bush's hometown paper endorses Kerry

This has been posted elsewhere; I actually heard about it yesterday, but forgot to go look for the article.  It bears repeating, and repeating, and repeating.

The Lone Star Iconoclast, local paper of George W. Bush's home town of Crawford, Texas, endorsed him for President in 2000 on thebasis of his promises.  After four years of his actual policies and performance, it has withdrawn its endorsement, and is now saying "Dump Bush" and endorsing John Kerry.

The re-election of George W. Bush would be a mandate to continue on our present course of chaos. We cannot afford to double the debt that we already have. We need to be moving in the opposite direction.

John Kerry has 30 years of experience looking out for the American people and can navigate our country back to prosperity and re-instill in America the dignity she so craves and deserves. He has served us well as a highly decorated Vietnam veteran and has had a successful career as a district attorney, lieutenant governor, and senator.

Kerry has a positive vision for America, plus the proven intelligence, good sense, and guts to make it happen.

That's why The Iconoclast urges Texans not to rate the candidate by his hometown or even his political party, but instead by where he intends to take the country.

The Iconoclast wholeheartedly endorses John Kerry.

Losing your home state, as Al Gore did in 2000, is bad enough.  But losing the support of your home town enough that your local paper turns its back on you and endorses your opponent?

Time to move, Mr. President.  If you can find any place that wants you.

Is Crawford really considered his home town? Around here (down the highway from Crawford), it's just where he has his farm.
