Arizona Republic Endorses Bush

[siliconefreak]

The largest newspaper in Arizona endorses Bush in Sunday's edition. The title of their editorial is "Recapture The Spirit".

What a bunch of fools.

6. Unbelievable.

Just unbelievable.

[alcuno]

9. You are so right. But not just funny - incoherent.

I've read it twice as well as the editorial itself and I can't understand it.

[rwheeler31]

10. how stupid .anyone seen arizona that aint sedona

[blondeatlast]

11. Good God, they really DID pull it out of their asses.

That has to be the lowest in a long history of spectacular lows for the Republican (which it was called at one time--ah, for truth in advertising).

God how I hate my hometown daily.

[TimeToGo]

12. But . . . that is insane

[spooky3]

49. Like infecting your computer to sell you anti-virus software.

3. crap. the tucson paper is for Kerry, don't know about the Flag rag

i wonder if the east valley tribs will endorse anyone

[blondeatlast]

13. The Flagstaff and Yuma (they are both the Sun) will

endorse Kerry; both areas are heavily Dem.

[Cha]

18. I went to the UofA back in the

day..I'm so happy they went with Kerry..anyone with a brain would!

[Sandpiper]

4. Glad I got out of the Valley of the Dumb

n/t

[Gasolinedream]

5. I have come to the conclusion...

and no offense meant to the handicapped, but some of these people border on the mentally retarded, similarly to our current Resident.

[Placebo]

7. That Is One DISGUSTING Read.

:thumbsdown:

[blondeatlast]

24. Sadly, it's pretty typical of the Republic's editorial staff.

Pull it out of their ass and make it pretty.

[NMDemDist2]

34. they are even worse since Gannett took them over n/t

[blondeatlast]

38. True, even though I never agreed with the editorials, they were far

better quality before Gannett came in.

[blondeatlast]

8. The REPUBLIC? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

The only surprising thing will be what pathetic excuses they could pull out of their asses for doing so.

I hate the Republic, but it's Phoenix's only daily.

[TimeToGo]

17. Maybe

Maybe they are just saying:

"He made the mess, he should be the one to clean it up."

:)

[Cha]

20. bush never cleaned up a mess in his life

why would he start now?

This is beyond pathetic..and the Arizona repug will be on the losing end of this.

Did they endorse Governor Janet Napolitano's opponent?

[blondeatlast]

30. If Pickles threw up on the floor, he would be dumbfounded at what to do.

We CAN'T possibly let him clean up his own messes at this point.

The cost is far too dear.

[sundancekid]

39. does it say "lollipop" on anybody's forehead here????? puhleeeze!

[NMDemDist2]

21. what about the Tribune? it's a daily too ?? n/t

[blondeatlast]

33. Which one? Mesa or Scottsdale, or am I missing something?

I'll be okay; damn, I knew this was coming but I'm just LIVID!

[rwheeler31]

23. You have people living in campers all over this state,

not for fun, they have no place to live

[BootinUp]

14. :puke:

:puke:


Immediately following the terrorist destruction on Sept. 11, 2001, Bush was widely hailed for his decisive leadership - for taking steps that truly united the nation.

We would like to see a second term that recaptures that spirit.

WHAT? I guess they should be hoping for another terrorist attack, cause thats the only hope for recapturing that spirit. :puke:

[Catt03]

15. I don't understand their logic

They have nothing good to say about Bush except to get the spirit of 9/11 back.

Who the hell are the 386 economists? I never heard that.

[Cha]

26. In other words they are

hopelessly greedy fascists.

[Mr_Spock]

16. Um, where's the news?

boring

[DemFromMem]

19. They endorsed Bush in 2000

So not exactly a surprise.

[siliconefreak]

22. No, but

I think it makes them look even more pathetic this time around.

[Cha]

27. Exactly!

I'm going to ask this in this post, too..

Did they endorse Governor Janet Napolitano's opponent?

[blondeatlast]

28. That's tough to beat, making them look even more pathetic.

But damn if they didn't manage.

Can't write the LTTE now, too majorly pissed off.

GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

:mad:

[blondeatlast]

25. I KNEW they would, so why am I so livid now?

Besides that HORRIBLE editorial; I knew they'd have to give some pathetic justification.

So why is this killing me?

WHY?

[Cha]

29. Because it's so beyond

logic..I would feel the same way if my paper endorsed the SOB.

[DU9598]

32. Question

Aren't they owned - at least in part - by the family of Dan Quayle. That would explain a lot of their stupidity.

[blondeatlast]

41. They were at one time; I'm not sure if they are anymore.

Gannett owns most of it.

[LiberalAndProud]

31. That's an endorsement?

Half-hearted and disingenuous.

[blondeatlast]

36. I live here, and it doesn't matter. It carries a ton of weight

with swing voters.

[msongs]

35. Gestapo Times endorses Hitler..................as does SS Daily :-) n/t

[highplainsdem]

37. Quoting: "Obviously, Bush has made serious errors in judgment

regarding Iraq. Appalling weaknesses in planning served to hamstring Iraqi reconstruction and gave the terrorists their opportunity to wreak havoc."

Therefore, we should re-elect him.

W for wrong judgments.

W for weaknesses in planning.

Four more years!!!

[blondeatlast]

40. This bizarre logic is becoming commonplace; I've heard it

on TV, at work, on the radio.

It's fucking deadly insane! (and I NEVER use THAT word unless I'm really upset, and I mean to the "throwing things" point)!

:wtf:

[Cha]

42. Let's hope the schwing voters are smarter

than the AZ repug.

[Erika]

43. The AZ Republic also attempted to crucify McCain in 2000.

They are big business for big business by big busimess. They are trashco.

[politicat]

44. And you're surprised?

I grew up down there. Biggest bunch of pious hypocrites you'd ever have the misfortune to meet. I left as soon as I could.

Plus, the paper's associated with the Quayle family publishing empire.

Again, no surprises.

Pcat

[Bluebear]

45. HahahahahOOHHhahaahhhaahhaooahahahaha

'we would expect President Bush to commit to recapturing some semblance of unity in his own shockingly divided nation.'

That's rich!

[NightOwwl]

46. Huh?

"Baghdad may not have been the fulcrum of terrorism before the U.S. overthrow of Saddam Hussein. But it is now."

Are they saying this is good?

[VOX]

47. "Recapture the spirit???" BushCo can't even capture Osama, for God's sake!

Gee, what a balanced editorial -- refers to "anti-war activists" and "internationalists."

Also claims Kerry dissed Poland! Maybe someone should remind the right wing that Poland recently announced that it will be pulling out 40% of its **2,500** troops from Iraq in January 2005, and it intends to have them all out by the end of next year.

[Pithy Cherub]

48. Foolish editorial!

The AR editorial court jesters actually want it read by freeper parrots across America while serving its true purpose, at the bottom of their birdcages!
