I am floored. The Dallas Morning News has poked and bashed Bush for years.
For them to endorse him ?? I am speechless.
Early voting begins Monday, October 18th. I'll be there at 8 a.m. to cast my vote for Bush.
Hell is selling icecubes.
First, the Chicago Tribune. Now, the Dallas Morning News. Will wonders never cease?
I am beyond floored. Has the Dallas Morning News ever done ANYTHING but bash Bush?
Who did the Dallas Paper endorse in 2000 ?
When I lived in Dallas many years ago this would be no surprise..now it is!
Picking the President: Bush is the best candidate
(The Dallas Morning News endorses Bush!!)Excerpt:This newspaper has seen the Texas Republican in action since his first days on the gubernatorial trail. Though he has stumbled and fallen at times, Mr. Bush has always risen to fight the next round. It's called conviction. It's called sticking. It's called guts. The challenges of these dramatic days demand an American president with guts. As Mr. Bush told his convention, "You know where I stand."
We do, and we wish we knew where John Kerry stood. To be honest, we wish John Kerry knew where John Kerry stood. The senator has been more clear about his positions lately, particularly on Iraq. But his record of vacillation cannot be overcome in a single campaign. What's more, aside from indulging in the fantasy that he can persuade the Europeans to contribute to the Iraq effort, Mr. Kerry's Iraq policy is not substantively different from Mr. Bush's. The national security stakes are far too high to risk a return to the indecision of the Carter years.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!
Maybe we have a shot at carrying Texas now.
Wow! this is a shock. DMN is so darn liberal
Just remember this is Dallas. W has given a lot to this area as a business owner, the Gov., and as the President.
Just drive near Turtle Creek and Highland Park and all you see is W banners, posters in the yards.
Besides, NO way in hello would they pick a Yankee over a Texan.
Wow......
that should sew up the tight presidential race in Texas...
I wonder if I should dump my AJC (Atlanta Journal Constipation) and get a subscription to the Dallas paper... even coming a day late in the mail it might be a better read!
It has become painfully obvious, even to some of these most liberal of media outlets, that John Kerry would be disastrous for our national security and longterm health.
Nonetheless, this endorsement of President Bush will not stop the constant attacks on the President, and their work on behalf of the Democrat party will continue.
I spent a good chunk of the summer in Dallas with relatives who live there and who get the Dallas Morning News on their doorstep every day. I may as well have read the Philadelphia Inquirer. Newspapers don't get any more goofy-liberal.
For that paper to dismiss Kerry like a housefly and, more incredibly, to come back and praise Bush the way they did is very encouraging. It gives me great hope for the country.
I'll give the paper the benefit of the doubt and assume that the regular Saturday night "Bush parties" and eight bajillion "Bush-Cheney" yard-signs in and around Dallas had nothing to do with the paper's decision to endorse Dubya.
The one question/concern that I have with the early voting ( and I will be there on Monday, too) is the safety/security of the ballot box - overnight, and on weekends. I may go downtown to the courthouse, instead of the small local site. I am concerned about the security of that box(es).
I cast my vote on Friday for a great man Pres. George Dubya Bush. It's a great feeling. And BTW, Thune picked up a vote then too.
Somehow I feel like I'm being punk'd.
Finally, although many in the Oak Lawn areas (near downtown) are potently anti-Bush, the majority of us Texans are conservative and growing more conservative every day. The paper will continue to bash the Bushes to satisfy the liberals' needs for a few morsels.
By the way, the mere thought (shudder) of a President Kerry would make us all puke on the hour 24 hours a day during his cowardly reign. I can hardly wait for Thursday to cast my early vote for the good man GWB!
