I think its pretty obvious the majority of TAs are liberals. I've seen a lot of anti-Bush links that display his military record to stuff thats happened under his term.
Anyone got any Kerry links? |

Tiny Crawford newspaper endorses Kerry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CRAWFORD, Texas -- A tiny weekly newspaper that bills itself as President Bush's hometown paper has endorsed John Kerry for president, saying the Massachusetts senator will restore American dignity.
The Lone Star Iconoclast, which has a weekly circulation of 425, said in an editorial dated Sept. 29 that Texans should rate the candidates not by hometown or political party, but by where they intend to take the country.
"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," the editorial said.
The Iconoclast, established in 2000, said it editorialized in support of the invasion of Iraq and publisher W. Leon Smith promoted Bush and the invasion in a BBC interview, believing Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
"Instead we were duped into following yet another privileged agenda," the editorial said.
The newspaper praised Kerry for "30 years of experience looking out for the American people" and lauded his background as "a highly decorated Vietnam veteran."

But John Kerry lived in Lowell, Mass., which actually has a legitimate paper of 100,000 subscribers. They didn't endorse him...

Newspapers endorse the 'wrong guy'
Bush, Kerry opposed by their 'hometown' papers

As elections are heating up, so are editorial pages in newspapers across the nation. The Lowell Sun and The Lone Star Iconoclast are under fire for not endorsing their "hometown" presidential candidates. The Sun, based out of Lowell, Mass., made headlines recently for endorsing President Bush, while the Lone Star Iconoclast, of Crawford, Texas, has endorsed Senator John Kerry.
With a population of more than 100,000, Lowell is no small town. It sits 27 miles outside Boston and is home to the University of Massachusetts-Lowell and the Plastic Institute of America. Crawford, however, has 705 residents and, "our favorite son, President George W. Bush," as the Crawford Web site says. The town collects the majority of its revenue from property taxes and water bills, which include President Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch, said Crawford Mayor Robert Campbell.
Reactions to the endorsements are as different as the towns in which they ran. While the Iconoclast has suffered large subscription and advertisement loss, said the paper's publisher W. Leon Smith, the Sun has lost only one subscription and no advertisements, Lowell Sun Editor Jim Campanini said.
"Apparently, people in Crawford feel fairly passionately about Bush, and of course - he is the sitting president," said Smith.
Smith said there was a circulation of 920 before the editorial ran, but as of Monday, it had dropped to 747.
Smith said he received hundreds of derogatory e-mails from across the nation, while Campanini reported receiving only two oppositional e-mails from out of state. Both newspapers said they expected varied responses from their endorsements, but the reactions against the Iconoclast are unusual, Smith said.
Campanini said, because Massachusetts is a heavily Democratic state, he's gotten a lot of statewide negative feedback. "But out of state, we've been overwhelmed by e-mails from across the country praising us for doing this in Kerry's backyard," he said.
As their biographies show, neither candidate was born or raised in the city in which his "hometown newspaper" runs. According to the Senate Web site, Kerry was born in Aurora, Colo., and resides in Boston. Bush's personal Web site states he was born in New Haven, Conn., and grew up in Houston and Midland. Because Bush's ranch is located near Crawford, the city calls itself his home.
Campanini said Kerry bought a home in Lowell in 1972 to run his first political race for the position of District 5 Congressman.
"He was defeated in that election, largely because the Lowell Sun ran a series of editorials and stories where he was described as a carpetbagger, because he'd been shopping around from California to Massachusetts for the best opportunity to run for Congress," Campanini said.
The Sun has a history of not supporting Kerry, though it generally supports Democratic candidates running for state representatives and has endorsed Republican governors since 1988, Campanini said. The paper did not endorse Kerry in any of his Senate elections.
The Iconoclast, however, endorsed Bush during his first term and changed "based not only on the things that Bush has delivered, but also on the vision of a return to normality that Kerry says our country needs," stated the Sept. 29 endorsement editorial. |

At almost every high school football game in small-Townville, both teams pray before the game that the other side will lose.
One team walks away victorious and the other walks away with mud on their faces.
Whose side is God on?

God has nothing to do with politics or games or nothing of that sort. But people keep relating God to everything! Specially in the US of A, and all of the continent for that matter. God bless this, God bless that. It sickens me.
Just leave your God in your private special place, whatever you religion calls it. Keep it to yourself. Don't profess to other people the crap you believe in. It's your thing. Politics is ed up as it is, there is no need for God in it.
This entry was intended for Kerry and Bush. ;) |
