[Dan Carscallen]

Imagine that.  A newspaper editorial against a republican and supporting
a democrat.
 
Simply amazing!

Bush's Hometown Newspaper Endorses Kerry

Tue Sep 28, 1:19 PM ET

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - The newspaper in President Bush's adopted
hometown of Crawford threw its support on Tuesday behind Bush's
Democratic rival, Sen. John Kerry.

The weekly Lone Star Iconoclast criticized Bush's handling of the war in
Iraq and for turning budget surpluses into record deficits. The
editorial also criticized Bush's proposals on Social Security and
Medicare. 

"The publishers of The Iconoclast endorsed Bush four years ago, based on
the things he promised, not on this smoke-screened agenda," the
newspaper said in its editorial. "Today, we are endorsing his opponent,
John Kerry." 

It urged "Texans not to rate the candidate by his hometown or even his
political party, but instead by where he intends to take the country." 

Bush spends many of his weekends and holidays at his Crawford, Texas
ranch. 

The Iconoclast's publisher and editor-in-chief, W. Leon Smith, said the
newspaper is sent to Bush's ranch each week. "But I don't know if he
reads it," Smith said. 

The Kerry campaign welcomed the endorsement in an email to reporters.
