This apparently was an Oped in The Oregonian. The paper has subscribers across the state and is in news stands across the state.
Oregon Freepers can use the link below to send it to their family and friends in Oregon. Governor/Senator Hatfield still has a large group of fans/supporters in Oregon. This will help GW and hurt Kerry in a critical state.

Oregon Freepers might want to make copies of this to hand out up through the election.
I think Senator Hatfield shows himself to be sincere, but very mixed-up and inconsistent. Howard Dean correctly criticized Kerry for opposing the 1991 Gulf War and supporting (in '02) the Iraq war. The 1991 war had a stronger justification than this one did. It is goofy to have opposed the first and supported this one (unless you acknowledge your mistake on the first one).
--Having said all that, God bless Senator Hatfield. The Lord will accept him as a repentent sinner, not as a great politician!!
