I thought this would be interesting to pass on, especially to my friends who are deeply into the Kerry Kamp.
Subject: Kerry's hometown paper endorses President Bush!

Interesting that this endorsement got past the mainstream media.

Surprised??



Kerry's hometown paper endorses President Bush

Most of you know what a big deal the mainstream media made of the Bush
hometown newspaper endorsement of Kerry - the Iconoclast of Crawford,
Texas with a 400 + readership. Well just in case you missed it, here is a
real big endorsement from Lowell, MA, and the Lowell Sun has somewhere in the
vicinity of 220,000 readers. This is a scathing editorial to say the least.

Endorsement: George W. Bush for president
Sunday, October 03, 2004 - It's about national security.
That's the key issue on the minds of Americans planning to vote in the
Nov.2 presidential election.
They must decide whether Republican President George W. Bush or Sen.
John F.Kerry, a Democrat, can provide the leadership to safeguard America from
foreign terrorism.
Americans aren't fools. They know that without safe cities and towns,
America will lose its greatness. Our cherished freedoms and sacred
liberties will be diminished, along with our opportunities for economic prosperity
and our basic pursuit of happiness.
Our children and their children will live vastly different lives if we
fail to guarantee a future free of turmoil.
Islamic extremists, both here and abroad, have one purpose: To destroy
America and halt the spread of democracy and religious tolerance around
the globe.
They would like to be plotting in our streets right now. They would like to be
sowing murder and mayhem with suicide bombers and hostage-takings, and
spreading fear in the heartland and everywhere else. They would like to be
wearing us down and bringing our nation to its knees.
Since the devastating terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, one American
leader has maintained an unbending resolve to protect our homeland and interest
against Islamic savages and those foreign governments appeasing them.
That leader is President Bush.
While out-of-touch U.S. politicians and world leaders have attacked
President Bush's tactics, they can't question his steely commitment to
keep America safe.
In the ashes of ground zero, where nearly 3,000 innocent Americans perished,
President Bush vowed to find the perpetrators, in domestic cells and distant lands,
and bring them to justice. He said he will do all that is humanly possible and
necessary to make certain that terrorists never strike again on United States soil.
Can anyone deny that President Bush has not delivered? America the
terrorists' No. 1 target has recovered from its tragic wounds and
rebounded. It remains safe to this day.
What might a lesser leader have done, faced with the daunting task of
deciding America's course against withering, partisan attacks from
Democrats, media propagandists, disingenuous U.N. officials and disloyal
White House operatives selling their souls for profit during a time of
war?
A lesser leader might have caved in. President Bush has stood his
ground. In this year's election, the question isn't whether we are safer now
than we were four years ago. We already know the answer. Sure we are and that's
because of President Bush. The critical question is: Four years from
now, will America be safer than it is today?
In our book, Americans have to place their trust in President Bush. He's
proven to be as sturdy as a mighty oak when it comes to saying what he
means, meaning what he says and acting decisively.
When it comes to the war on terror, President Bush means to keep our
military strong and our country secure.
John Kerry, on the other hand, has all the attributes of the shape of
water when it comes to telling us what he believes and what he'd do for
America. Like incoming and outgoing tides, Kerry is content to go with the flow.
In a dangerous world infested with sharks, Kerry would be chum at America's expense.
We in Massachusetts know John Kerry. He got his first taste of politics
32 years ago in the cities and towns of Greater Lowell.
In his 20 years in the U.S. Senate, Kerry, a Navy war hero, hasn't risen
above the rank of seaman for his uninspiring legislative record. He's been
inconsistent on major issues. First he's for the 1991 Persian Gulf War,
then he opposes it. First he's for the war in Iraq, then he's against it.
First he's for a strong U.S. defense, then he votes against military weapons
programs. First he's for the U.S. Patriot Act, then he opposes it.
Kerry's solution to stop terrorism? He'd go to the U.N. and build a
consensus. How naive. France's Jacques Chirac, Germany's Gerhard
Schroeder, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and other Iraq oil-for-food scam
artists don't want America to succeed. They want us brought down to their level.
And more and more, Kerry sounds just like them. In a recent campaign speech,
Kerry said America was in the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
No doubt John Kerry sincerely wants to serve his country, but we believe
he's the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Americans should think back three years ago to the smoldering ruins of
the World Trade Center. There among the mist lay the images and memories of
fallen firefighters, police, a Catholic chaplain and ordinary working citizens moms, dads, sons, daughters.
President Bush, through heartfelt tears, told us never to forget the
twisted carnage and the massacre of the innocents. Yet some of us are
forgetting President Bush told us the attacks must never happen again.
Yet some of us are wavering because of the brave sacrifice of soldiers that our
nation's security demands.
Well, President Bush hasn't forgotten. Nor has he lost the courage and
conviction to do what is right for America. We know if there is one thing the enemy
fears above all else, it is that George Bush's iron will is stronger than his iron won't.
The Sun proudly endorses the re-election of President George W. Bush.

The Sun's editor is a well-known hater of Kerry. It's not in the news because nobody is surprised.

At least nobody who knows anything about the history between Kerry and The Sun.

Dan S,

I've got to say that you certainly are correct in stating that the editor of the Lowell Sun strongly disapproves of Kerry.

I just took a look at the current editorial page ...

Panic attacks

U.S. Sen. John Kerry's Democratic campaign for the White House is growing desperate. With 14 days to go until the Nov. 2 election, Team Kerry is pulling out all the cheap tricks in an attempt to prop up sagging poll numbers in key battleground states.
Led by his campaign bag men John Sasso, Paul Begala, and James Carville, the Kerry-Edwards ticket is bleeding honesty and integrity right down to the last drop, from Tallahassee to Toledo.

The sleazy operatives are on a roll, infusing the media with daily falsehoods and innuendoes to scare voters from President George Bush and into Kerry's cozy camp.

First came the "October Surprise" when Kerry falsely planted the notion that President Bush was planning to revive the military draft if he were re-elected.

Then came the "January Surprise" when Kerry used an old magazine quote to falsely assert that President Bush was planning to privatize Social Security after the first of the year.

In between, however, came the Kerry-Edwards ticket's most egregious and demeaning scheme. They dragged the name of Mary Cheney and her sexual orientation into two national televised debates to gain cheap political capital.

Mary Cheney is the daughter of Vice President Richard Cheney and his wife Lynne.

Edwards, like a slick Southern salesman, first invaded Mary Cheney's privacy in a debate with the vice president. It came in Edwards' convoluted response to his stance on gay marriage. Edwards' shocker caused a squeamish moment for most American viewers who believe the private lives of family members of U.S. politicians are off limits.

Despite the public's nauseous response, Kerry the coffee klatch debater tried his hand at making sport of Mary Cheney in response to a question on gay marriage.

Kerry's contrived remarks were insensitive and indecent. And Kerry should apologize to Mary Cheney for appropriating her name in order to win a few undecided voters among Bible Belt evangelicals.

The tawdry tactics strike right at the heart of Kerry's flawed character. This is a man who will do anything to win, without the least bit of conscience, even if it means embarrassing the daughter of a political rival.

No one could expect President Bush to answer a question on family values by saying Kerry is divorced or doesn't attend church regularly. Nor could Bush answer a question on abortion by bringing up Kerry's daughters.

As we've been saying all along, there is a clear leadership difference between Kerry and President Bush. And it begins and ends with Bush's core conviction to do what is morally right.

Kerry is panicking in the final stages of a tight race and selling his soul in the process.

Oh, man...........he hates Kerry like I hate the dude doing 59 in the hammer lane.

He was able to sink Kerry in his first senate race by blistering him in The Sun. I'm sure there will be more in upcoming issues as well.

Of course, Editorial endorsements aren't typically all that big of deal. But in this race, they might be. Every vote's going to count this time around.

Yup and I heard the women may swing it. Apparently they do not like seeing their children killed. Go Moms

"Yup and I heard the women may swing it. "

Good to know you plan to vote LT
