Another demonstration of 'Cause & Effect':
Businesses Protest Hometown Bush PaperI'm not very knowledgeable about newspaper circulations, but wouldn't having several advertisers pull their ads from such a small paper really hurt?CRAWFORD, Texas — The editor of the Crawford, Texas, weekly that bills itself as President Bush's hometown newspaper says he has no regrets about endorsing John Kerry, even after a dozen businesses pulled their advertising from the publication.
"I'd do it again," Leon Smith, publisher of the Lone Star Iconoclast, told the Waco Tribune-Herald in Sunday's editions.
The Iconoclast, which endorsed Bush in 2000, said it now supports the Democrat because of disillusionment with the war and Bush's actions on Social Security, the economy and other issues. An editorial dated Sept. 29 accuses the president of having a "smoke-screened agenda" and leading the United States into a "quagmire" in Iraq on flimsy pretenses.
The newspaper, with a circulation of 425, has become scarce, and copies have shown up on the eBay online auction site.
Business leaders in Bush's adopted hometown of 705 residents about 20 miles west of Waco say they support the president and are critical of the upstart newspaper.
"I think what's his name, Leon Smith, is entitled to his own opinion," said Vicki Martin, an employee at the Coffee Station convenience store and cafe, where Bush sometimes stops during stays at his ranch. "Unfortunately, his opinion hurt a lot of feelings around here. Bush is our neighbor."
Maybe it will - maybe it won't, but I do know that you cannot use your pride to pay your employees.....

"Bush is our neighbor"
Awwww, must suck to be them! Is she bragging or complaining? So if your neighbor is a serial killer do you still have hurt feelings when they're arrested? Expletive deleted.
Hell I need to find the subscription address for this guy, I want a subscription.

I just posted this to demonstrate cause & effect in the reality of the world of politics.

|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 4, 2004 12:42 PM ||I wasn't necessarily comparing Bush to a serial killer, just her mentality that "Bush is our neighbor so Smith hurt our feelings", but I guess it would depend on how you look at it. And I agree the Bush=Hitler thing is wrong, Bush isn't that smart. ;)
The Lowell Sun is a conservative leaning paper that has never endorsed Kerry, that's the big difference here. Smith actually endorsed Bush in 2000 and supported the invasion of Iraq. He wrote an excellent editorial and showed alot of courage writing what he knew would be an unpopular opinion.

Christ, the only thing Texas ever had going for it was the Dallas Chowboys and even they suck these days.
