I live in a reallly Repub town-and I am a Democrat.

Would anyone believe that in the little complacent, quiet community of TAYLOR, TEXAS, that the little 8 page daily newspaper did not mention the election, the results, or even the candidates.
There was an article following all the locals that mentioned Obama had a large job ahead of him.
This is so ignorant and typical of backwards hardheads. I agree that he has a hard job ahead of him.
I personally am very proud that our nation could elect him.

1. If there is such a thing in that rag as a "Letter to the Editor"

you would be doing a great service to your community by saying/writing that. That's outrageous. Of course a small paper like that may go to print before the election (I'm trying to think of excuses, but just can't.)...LOL.

3. Wow...

No election results on a daily paper? No pic of prez-elect on the front page?? I shudder to think what kind of education the kids are getting at school in that town.

5. Ditto that for me

It was the same in my Rolla Missouri paper. Election results
were burried on the 3rd or 4th page. It is a piece of shit
conservative rag. Always has been. They even (their only) have
an editorial column by Dave Weinbaum an ultra conservative
spewer. He also writes for the jewish review.He is a
Limbaugh/Hannity clone. Yick!

6. Same thing here in Kerrville,TX. Nada. Very republican. nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

7. That's messed up

We have a weekly paper.......aside from mentioning how much Obama won by here, they were more focused on the local races, but they still mentioned it.

This article appeared twice to my knowledge. It appeared on October 18th and then again November 3rd.


Recommendations for 2008 elections

Times Editorial Board
The Daily Times (Kerrville,Texas)

Published October 18, 2008

Pundits have described this general election the most important ever, and it may well be. The excruciatingly long presidential election campaign is almost over and it has overshadowed other equally important elections. Following is our recommendations for the general election. Early voting begins Monday. We urge you to cast your ballot as you see fit.

President of the

United States

Senator Barack Obama, D. Ill., burst on the national political scene in 2004 when he addressed the Democratic Convention. He was elected to the U.S. Senate later that year. Since then, he has earned distinction as one of the most liberal senators in Congress. His economic policies would considerably expand the role of the federal government in everyone’s lives. He claims he wants to make the tax code fairer by cutting taxes on everyone making less than $250,000. But shouldn’t fairness address the fact that more than 30 percent of U.S. citizens pay no federal income tax and the fact other new taxes will probably be placed on all citizens if his programs are implemented? Many of his programs call for tax credits for families that do this or that; who is going to pay the cost? He apparently is targeting big business as the cash cow; a sector which already pays the second highest corporate income taxes in the world.

Senator John McCain is enjoying his day in the sun after unsuccessfully seeking the Republican nomination in 2000. McCain believes individuals should be able to govern themselves. He has broken ranks with Republicans on some issues, not toeing the party line. He campaigns against waste and earmark spending and would do a better job of making sure all taxpayers get what they pay for. McCain also recognizes the importance of education. The major difference in the candidates is McCain believes Americans can best serve themselves. Obama believes government can best serve Americans.

Ralph Nader is making another run as the Green Party Candidate. One of his more interesting plans calls for a “Fair” income tax where everybody pays a share.

We recommend John McCain.

It goes on and gives 'recommendations' for other offices as well. One stop shop for the under informed voters=lazy readers.
