Does the newspaper recommend voters do the same thing - not make a choice?
To: SmithL
The "non-endorsement" sounds more like an anti-Bush rant to me.

"President Bush told us that he was 'a uniter, not a divider,' but shortly after taking office, his administration took a sharp right turn that has divided this country," the editorial said.That's a lie. I suspect this paper has been taken over by the left.

Dear Tampa Tribune,
Stick to running classified ads. We'll take care of the hard issues like who should be President.

The paper was ""deeply disappointed" with Bush on federal spending, the budget deficit and the recession"
What is it going to do? Endorse Peroutka or Badnarik? Get real. Lets not endorse anyone.....what a joke....

Newspaper endorsements are strictly "old media". Nobody cares anymore.

Evidently the mis-information, which the MSM has tried to force feed to us since Bush's 2000 election, has come around to bite itself in the A$$!!!!

I received the following from a friend after hearing about this from them this morning:
Six months ago The Tampa Tribune announced that conservative Editorial Page Editor Edwin Roberts was retiring and being replaced by Rosemary Goudreau who inside sources told me was a liberal brought here from a northern newspaper. She has lived up to her reputation as the paper has been endorsing liberal policies and liberal local candidates.

I would think the same, perhaps a new editor/owner? I thought you could always count on the Tampa Tribune to offset the St. Pete Times across the water.

In a break with tradition, The Tampa Tribune, a Republican standard-bearer for decades...."President Bush told us that he was 'a uniter, not a divider,' but shortly after taking office, his administration took a sharp right turn that has divided this country,"Why do I surmise that what actually happened was that leftist staff moved up into control, or at least into a tie, of the editorial board?

Thanks for clarifying what I suspected. So in truth this article is another liberal lie. Implying that the paper is 'GOP but not endorsing Bush' without mentioning the mjor ideological change in the editorial staff ideological is tantamount to a lie.
To: PhiKapMom; bwteim
I won't say 'I knew it.' But the significant, sudden change does seem like a thumb in the eye. Thanks for the info.
