Crawford, TX Paper Endorses Kerry

"President Bush's hometown paper," the Lone Star Iconoclast (population: 705, circulation: 425), has endorsed John Kerry for president.

Four items trouble us the most about the Bush administration: his initiatives to disable the Social Security system, the deteriorating state of the American economy, a dangerous shift away from the basic freedoms established by our founding fathers, and his continuous mistakes regarding Iraq.

It's worth noting that in 2000, the paper endorsed Bush and in the lead up to the war, it was supportive of the invasion of Iraq.

As for Kerry, the paper praises his military service and says that he has "the vision of a return to normality.'' Couldn't have said it better myself.
