Crawford Wants Its Idiot Back

See? Not all Texans are incorrigible.

After endorsing George W. Bush in 2000 and supporting Bush's war, the hometown newspaper of Crawford, Texas has endorsed John Kerry. The Lone Star Iconoclast, demonstrating wisdom in being able to admit a horrible mistake, offers a glowing endorsement. The thrust of the endorsement is simple: George Bush let us down. Repeatedly. The endorsement culminates:
The re-election of George W. Bush would be a mandate to continue on our present course of chaos. We cannot afford to double the debt that we already have. We need to be moving in the opposite direction.

John Kerry has 30 years of experience looking out for the American people and can navigate our country back to prosperity and re-instill in America the dignity she so craves and deserves. He has served us well as a highly decorated Vietnam veteran and has had a successful career as a district attorney, lieutenant governor, and senator.

Kerry has a positive vision for America, plus the proven intelligence, good sense, and guts to make it happen.

That’s why The Iconoclast urges Texans not to rate the candidate by his hometown or even his political party, but instead by where he intends to take the country.

The Iconoclast wholeheartedly endorses John Kerry.
Here's hoping that Texans Americans of all stripes and in all locations are able to follow the sound advice of Bush's hometown paper.
