Kerry's Home Town Newspaper Endorses Bush

Below is an endorsement of President Bush by the Lowell Sun in Lowell, Massachusetts.
This is the same congressional district where John Kerry first ran
for Congress in 1972.
Endorsement: George W. Bush for president
Sunday, October 03, 2004 - It's about national security.
That's the key issue on the minds of Americans planning
to vote in the Nov. 2 presidential election.
They must decide whether Republican President George W. Bush
or Sen. John F. Kerry, a Democrat, can provide the leadership to safeguard America from foreign terrorism.

Americans aren't fools. They know that without safe cities and towns,
America will lose its greatness. Our cherished freedoms and sacred liberties
will be diminished, along with our opportunities for economic prosperity and our basic pursuit of happiness.
Our children and their children will live vastly different lives if we fail
to guarantee a future free of turmoil.
Islamic extremists, both here and abroad, have one purpose:
To destroy America and halt the spread of democracy and religious tolerance around the globe.

They'd like to be plotting in our streets right now. They'd like to be
sowing murder and mayhem with suicide bombers and hostage-takings, and spreading fear in the heartland
and everywhere else.
They'd like to be wearing us down
and bringing our nation to its knees.
Since the devastating terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
one American leader has maintained an unbending resolve to protect
our homeland and interest against Islamic savages and those foreign governments appeasing them.

That leader is President Bush.
While out-of-touch U.S. politicians and world leaders have attacked
President Bush's tactics, they can't question his steely commitment to keep America safe.
In the ashes of ground zero, where nearly 3,000 innocent
Americans perished,
President Bush vowed to find the perpetrators, in domestic cells and distant lands,
and bring them to justice.
He said he will do all that is humanly possible and necessary to make certain that terrorists
never strike again on U.S. soil.

Can anyone deny that President Bush has not delivered?
America the terrorists' No. 1 target has recovered from its
tragic wounds and rebounded. It remains safe to this day.
What might a lesser leader have done, faced with the daunting
task of deciding America's course against withering, partisan
attacks from Democrats, media propagandists, disingenuous
U.N. officials and disloyal White House
operatives selling their souls for profit during a time of war?
A lesser leader might have caved in. President Bush has stood his ground.
In this year's election, the question isn't whether we are safer
now than we were four years ago. We already know the answer.
Sure we are and that's because of President Bush.
The critical question is: Four years from now, will
America be safer than it is today?
In our book, Americans have to place their trust in President Bush.
He's proven to be as sturdy as a mighty oak when it comes to
saying what he means, meaning what he says and acting decisively.
When it comes to the war on terror, President Bush means to
keep our military strong and our country secure.
John Kerry, on the other hand,
has all the attributes of the shape of water when it comes
to telling us what he believes and what
he'd do for America.
Like incoming and outgoing tides, Kerry is content to go with the flow.
In a dangerous world infested with sharks, Kerry would be chum at America's expense.

We in Massachusetts know John Kerry. He got his first taste of
politics 32 years ago in the cities and towns of Greater Lowell.
In his 20 years in the U.S. Senate, Kerry, a Navy war hero,
hasn't risen above the rank of seaman for his uninspiring legislative record. He's been inconsistent on major issues.
First he's for the 1991 Persian Gulf War, then he
opposes it. First he's for the war in Iraq, then he's against it.
First he's for a strong U.S. defense, then he votes against military weapons programs.
First he's for the U.S. Patriot Act, then he opposes it.
Kerry's solution to stop terrorism? He'd go to the U.N. and build a
consensus. How naive. France's Jacques Chirac, Germany's Gerhard Schroeder,
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and other Iraq oil-for-food scam artists don't want America to succeed.
They want us brought down to their level.
And more and more, Kerry sounds just like them. In a recent campaign speech, Kerry said
America was in the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
No doubt John Kerry sincerely wants to serve his country,
but we believe he's the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Americans should think back three years ago to the
smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center.
There among the mist lay the images and memories of
fallen firefighters, police, a Catholic chaplain and ordinary working citizens moms, dads, sons, daughters.
President Bush, through heartfelt tears, told us never to forget the twisted carnage and the massacre of the innocents.
Yet some of us are forgetting.
President Bush told us the attacks must never happen again.
Yet some of us are wavering because of the brave
sacrifice of soldiers that our nation's security demands.
Well, President Bush hasn't forgotten.
Nor has he lost the courage and
conviction to do what is right for America.
We know if there is one thing the enemy fears above all else,
it is that George Bush's iron will is stronger than his iron won't.

The Sun proudly endorses the re-election of President George W. Bush.

The difference between a conservative and a liberal is...A conservative
bases his politics on his morals...A liberal bases his morals on his politics


Just a note of encouragement!
Don't forget, EVERYONE is NOT deceived by John Kerry.

Hope this reminder helps to make it a great day.
