"How disheartening it is to approach Nov. 2 with the choice boiling down to, more than anything else, a referendum on the presidency over the past four years. President Bush or not President Bush.

Can an Election Day selection really come down to the resignation of this: Not him?

Regrettably so. With that, we go with Sen. John Kerry.

Four years ago, we put admittedly tenuous support behind George W. Bush in an election in which neither candidate did much to inspire. But that light endorsement was vindicated at full strength in the days after 9/11, a terrible moment filled with terrorist rage and innocent American blood that changed the world and presented a president resolute and capable. President Bush gave Americans the rock they needed to rally about in that dark time.

But the actions the president took in the subsequent three years seemed prompted by bad advice and even worse aim, leaving a misguided war in Iraq as the centerpiece of a term of squandered opportunities."

OK, so does ONE line a paragraph really make? I think not.

They may not love Kerry, but it seems they love the chimp even less.

A ReTHUGlican newspaper going "ABB", what a concept!

2. I still don't get Bush supposedly being great on 9/11

He was AWOL for much of it. And even when he did appear . . . how much leadership skill does it take to rally revenge-minded masses around promises of revenge?

3. Remember, this is a RETHUG paper!

I'm amazed the Kool-Aid didn't crystalize in their kidneys when they went with Kerry...
