Re-Elect George Bush<\/a> ABQjournal Opinion<\/p>\n

While the record is mixed, the recommendation, ultimately, is to re-elect George W. Bush, aside from the mistakes — one of which is great reluctance to admit to mistakes. One hopes the administration has learned from these mistakes. [A]ll of these ultimately are trumped by the wild card of terrorism, the issue on which the president is the clear choice. The Journal endorses the re-election of President Bush.<\/p>\n

It is possible to be shocked but not surprised. The next time someone writes to complain about the Albuquerque Journal’s liberalism, you won’t have to point to Ramirez, Trevor, Dimdahl, the aptly-named Prickly City or a host of conservative voices that appear daily. Instead, direct such a mistaken reader to your endorsement of George Duhbya Bush. This decision, presumably a consensus of many staffers and the owner-publisher, is based on one argument: it’s all about terror. It’s not. Still, this should silence whining conservatives (if only…) and, perhaps, even console them in their misery on Nov 3rd. mjh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
