Arizona Republic endorses Bush

[valleygal]

I know, it's a shocker, isn't it? I posted this op/ed from the AZRep on Thursday after the debate.

How did you get this endorsement article to go through? We aren't supposed to post articles from the AZRep because of copyright. And someone told me my post should have been pulled even though all I posted was the excerpt and link.

So much good news and we can't post it...

Thanks

Aw, we lost? What a bummer. I was hoping we'd go 10-0.

I haven't had the TV on all day.

Are you a current Sun Devil or an alum?

[valleygal]

I've always called the AZ Republic the AZ Repugnant. Guess I'll have to stop calling them that. They have been fairly left leaning for quite some time. I stopped taking the paper because of it.

[valleygal]

Phoenix paper. I'd be surprised if anything out of Tucson endorsed GWB.

[valleygal]

I've been here 27 years and finally cancelled the paper. :)

[valleygal]

I've lived in the "Valley of the Sun" for nearly 20 years and cancelled my subscription to the Republic years ago.

Hadn't read your post yet, and said almost the same thing!

[valleygal]

Good points. Seems we've all been cancelling our papers.

I love Barry Young and Bruce Jacobs. I listen to Barry every chance I get.

BOB did rock. We had fun.

I've been here since the late 70's and don't remember it ever being called the AZ Republican. Maybe before that?

I've been here here.....um.....well if I told you that, you'd know how old I am. Let's just say, Central Avenue was only paved up to Camelback.

I've been here 27 years and finally cancelled the paper. :)

Congratulations.. I have lived here for 22 years and can not believe I have not cancelled it yet.

I just checked the date. It's October 16, not 31. This isn't a trick? The Arizona Republic?? One of the most liberal rags in the state endorsing President Bush? Looks like we may have a winner here!

[HungarianGypsy]

Conservatives need not apply to work there.

I know one conservative who works there. Of course, he reports for the West section of the paper.

[HungarianGypsy]

I am one who refuses to subscribe to this paper and I tell them exactly why every time they call trying to peddle their rag.

I told one of the solicitors why I couldn't subscribe. They agreed with me and seemed to understand. Haven't heard from the Republic since.

Lived here since '89. Cancelled the paper last week.
So did my sister. Can't BELIEVE they endorsed the pres!

I'm still not renewing.

[Don Corleone]

Remarkable admission from a liberal rag like that.

[SandRat]

YES!!!!!

The Arizona Republic is returning to it's roots. Perhaps once more it will be proud to be referred to as the Arizona Republican.

[hope]

I'm floored! It speaks volumes when AZ's most liberal paper won't endorse one of their own...

Things have changed since I lived there. ('70s). The Old Pueblo had a good mix with quite a few retired military folks from DM. Thanks for your response.
