"Voters presented with a clear choice for president this year should halt the nation's downward slide and oust George W. Bush."


"America faces a pivotal decision in this year's presidential election: Continue down the current road, built on deceit and defended against challengers by barriers of fear, toward an imperial America that acts, probably briefly, with impunity in the world."

"Or return to a United States that follows its own people's narrative of its history: a country made stronger by steadily expanding individual liberties to the oppressed. A country whose leaders submit to the rule of law and make war as a last resort only, never as a reckless gamble. A country of vast power that other free nations envy, perhaps, but do not fear."

This endorsement isn't a surprise, but this is Bush country.

2. I can't tell how refreshing it is to read the Roanoke Times

when we visit my in-laws especially the editorial pages. Living in Richmond we really only have the Times-Disgrace which is published lunacy.

Actually Roanoke itself usually votes Dem, doesn't it?
