It's Romney (CO Newspaper endorses Mitt)
Pueblo Chieftain ^ | 10/11/12

Posted on 10/14/2012 8:15:01 AM PDT by NoobRep

WE DIDN’T endorse Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy four years ago, but after he was elected we congratulated him on his victory and expressed our desire that his presidency would be successful.

But soon after his inauguration, it became clear that his talk of “post-partisanship” and governmental transparency was just that: talk.

He, along with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, rammed through Obamacare with almost no input from congressional Republicans. Recall Ms. Pelosi’s comment that “We have to pass this so you can see what’s in it.”

I don't know anything about the Pueblo Chieftain, but Pueblo is a very democrat area of Colorado. Very blue collar, union, Hispanic type of democrat. This is a surprising endorsement.

Appears to be the main daily newspaper in Pueblo. 53,000+ circulation.

Notice they don’t distort Ryan’s Medicare plan either.

Thanks for posting. The entire, brief endorsement article is well worth a read. Great points made for R/R and against 0.

I totally agree! Super surprising! Pueblo is a Dem stronghold. They are not going to be happy to read this in their morning paper.

I don't know anything about the Pueblo Chieftain

Here is how they begin their endorsement:

WE DIDN’T endorse Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy four years ago,

So the fact they didn't endorse him now, after four failed years, shouldn't surprise.

The Columbus Dispatch, (Columbus, OH) also endorsed Romney I think it was last week and Columbus has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold.

Shocking endorsement. Stunning.

This is where the hard-line CO union Leftists live.

Guess that steel strike they started about 15 or 20 years ago is still resonating. The plant never hired any union guys back, they were on strike for years and years. Production went on without them IIRC. Now it’s owned by a foreign company.

I don’t know how many votes this will result in, or maybe just a bunch of newpaper cancellations, who knows. But if Obama can’t carry Pueblo, it’s an indication he can’t win the state either.

President Obama has squandered America’s role as the leader of the world, a tradition going back to President Harry Truman in the wake of World War II. And it was President Truman who had a sign on his desk proclaiming, “The Buck Stops Here.”

Not with Barack Obama. He’s spent his entire presidency blaming George W. Bush for the nation’s problems.

The “It’s not my fault” rhetoric has grown thin and shabby.

Love the line: The “It’s not my fault” rhetoric has grown thin and shabby. Shabby - great word to describe this administration.

Totally unacceptable. Racist bastard newspaper!

Question: does anyone know or have a link to polls directly asking about the impact of the Biden “laughing” debate?

Pollsters say the Obama debate hurt him. Just wondering. I will take a look when I get some time.

Read the 3 comments posted. Two of them are obviously still going to vote for BO. If they did read the article before they responded looks like they didn’t bother to let their brain absorb any of the information it contained.
