Crawford, TX Newspaper Endorses KERRY
Top News Article | Reuters.com: "CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - The newspaper in President Bush's adopted hometown of Crawford threw its support on Tuesday behind Bush's Democratic rival, Sen. John Kerry.
The weekly Lone Star Iconoclast criticized Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and for turning budget surpluses into record deficits. The editorial also criticized Bush's proposals on Social Security and Medicare.
'The publishers of The Iconoclast endorsed Bush four years ago, based on the things he promised, not on this smoke-screened agenda,' the newspaper said in its editorial. 'Today, we are endorsing his opponent, John Kerry.'
It urged 'Texans not to rate the candidate by his hometown or even his political party, but instead by where he intends to take the country.' "
