Why Kerry is the choice | San Francisco Chronicle Endorsement
Why Kerry is the choice

Sunday, October 17, 2004

GEORGE W. BUSH campaigned as a "compassionate conservative" and won the presidency by the narrowest of electoral margins. He promised to unify the nation after the most ferociously contested election in 124 years.

But from the moment he took office, Bush showed neither compassion nor humility. He immediately began to govern as if he had a mandate to steer the country in a sharply rightward direction. The policies of the Bush presidency have only cemented the polarization in this country.

It is time for a change of direction.

4. This is really amazing. Notice in the LBN column,
3 Kerry endorsements right on top of each other. This is just amazing. I never thought I'd see the day when journalists would stand up for what's right.

I've read most of the endorsements, and they all are pretty much in unison. The Oregonian was positively scathing. They called him a "failure", and used such words as "extreme", "radical".
