Today, the New York Times enthusiastically endorsed John Kerry for president. A summary, in part:
"The Bush White House has always given us the worst aspects of the American right without any of the advantages. We get the radical goals but not the efficient management. The Department of Education's handling of the No Child Left Behind Act has been heavily politicized and inept. The Department of Homeland Security is famous for its useless alerts and its inability to distribute antiterrorism aid according to actual threats. Without providing enough troops to properly secure Iraq, the administration has managed to so strain the resources of our armed forces that the nation is unprepared to respond to a crisis anywhere else in the world."
I know many here will dismiss this as just lefty rhetoric provided by a lefty rag, but in fact, it's one of the most informative newspapers in the country. Of course, I wholeheartedly support their endoresement. It's a good article. So, I am providing this link.
