The case against Bush

Even Kerry's hometown paper, the Globe, will fall into line behind Kerry and endorse him in every single election. Which is funny because they're always some of his harshest critics.

In sharp contrast, Bush's hometown paper, the Lone Star Iconoclast, has decided to endorse Kerry, going against everything you'd expect of a hometown paper, especially one that endorsed Bush in 2000.

Wow. This is some powerful stuff:

Four items trouble us the most about the Bush administration: his initiatives to disable the Social Security 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 terrorism and Iraq.
It's amazing how much I agree with the points they bring up. It seemed to me that the long-term consequences of the Bush administration's policies seemed to weigh very heavily on the editorial staff, and those are precisely the things that disturb me the most about this administration.

This seems all the more incredible considering that the Iconoclast endorsed Bush in 2000. How could a paper with whom I have so much agreement on why the Bush administration is bad for the country endorse the idiot from Crawford in 2000? I understand that for people who had only a shallow understanding of politics (myself included) at the time may have been suckered into supporting Bush, but presumably the Iconoclast would have in-depth knowledge of their hometown celebrity and Governor. It only goes to show that, as the Iconoclast argues, the Bush-Cheney campaign of 2000 suckered a lot of people into believe it was something it wasn't. For that alone, his supporters should turn against him.

Thanks to Glasstrack for the link.
