I loved that.
A very well written and clearly argued perspective.
Bravo! Is this a paper of note in Las Vegas?
This says it all, what more can be said?
Who did they endorse in 2000?
It's the only paper there. I believe they bought the left leaning Sun a few years ago.
fantastic piece. Clear as a bell.
starts off like this:
Only one candidate holds in his hand a hope for resurgent American greatness
Mr. Bush: The right leader for the right time.
As John Kerry's inability to connect with the average voter manifests itself and President Bush's lead in the polls widens, it would be easy for Republicans to become complacent.
But that would be a mistake.
Energized Democrats could still make this a very close race. Eight weeks is an eternity in politics. That means demographics and the Electoral College could still combine to make Nevada one of perhaps a dozen states so closely contested that a few thousand voters could actually decide who will steer the nation through the dangerous next four years.
Democratic activists in the Silver State are hoping Nevadans will choose Sen. Kerry based on his promise to stop nuclear waste from coming to Nevada. So it's time for some straight talk. Sealing up the nation's nuclear waste inside a mountain where no one can watch for cannister corrosion is absurd. It is unlikely to happen, primarily because safer and cheaper reprocessing technologies are not 50,000 years away, but -- in all likelihood -- closer to 50 years away.
That said, Yucca Mountain has been on track for 20 years, under Democratic and Republican congresses, under Democratic and Republican presidents. Are we to pin our future on the hope that one politician can (or even wants to) change all that, based on a last-minute election-year conversion?
Hardly.
LVRJ knows the odds.
We'll say its the more moderate of the two papers here...and leave it at that...
This race will turn on whether or not we have another significant terrorist event between now and the election. Bush has staked his honor on protecting Americans so that is probably where leftist/anarchist/islamofascists will try to apply maximum pressure...IMHO
Yes, this is the main paper of Las Vegas, the Sun is the only other paper, and it is quite liberal, but much smaller than The Review Journal. The RJ, did endore Bush 4 years ago also.
but, conversely, the islamos must also know that if they hit us, that BUSH would be re-elected handily....
now we have to consider whether they really care who would be President - or do they just figger to blow us up no matter who?
While the Sun and RJ or combined on the weekend, and the Sun uses the same presses, they are two seperate editorial staffs, and seperate papers during the week.
They would appreciate a President who would make it easiest for them to blow us up. Probably they would also appreciate a President who would negotiate with them and give them recognition, TV time and a world platform.
After that, they could blow us up whenever they wanted. And they would, if we didn't do exactly what they wanted, when they wanted, how they wanted.
Thanks for the correction. Haven't been there for a while.
'Probably they would also appreciate a President who would negotiate with them and give them recognition, TV time and a world platform'
Remember how HAPPY Arafat was, while he was dining at the White House and sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom?
Thanks, Bill...YOU LYING, THEIVING, SCUMFACED, NO-BALLS, NO ACCOUNT, P-WHIPPED, SLEAZE HOUND, YOU LET THE ISLAMOS GET US WHILE YOU PRETENDED TO PROTECT US.
there. I feel better. talk amongst yourselves....
Las Vegas Review-Journal:
A great man is not a perfect man, but rather a man who finds the strength to overcome his own flaws, and then to lead others to unlikely triumph over great adversity and great odds. There is only one man in this presidential race who holds in his hands a vision and a hope for resurgent American greatness and triumph.
President George W. Bush.
WOW, great quote...Gotta save that one!
There is only one man in this presidential race who holds in his hands a vision and a hope for resurgent American greatness and triumph.President George W. Bush.
How sweet it is........
