The title is not an actual question, because the Tribune in Tampa did endorse John McCain for President yesterday. This is no surprise to anyone who has ever read this trashy newspaper for any length of time, as we know that the Tribune is a Republican leaning rag anyway.
What is surprising is that just last week, the paper was questioning McCain and his policies that he has been spouting about during his campaign for the White House.
Tampa Tribune, Oct. 9, 2008
McCain has lost ground to Sen. Barack Obama not because Obama's ideas are superior, but because Obama believes in what he's trying to sell.
McCain is less convincing. On the economy, he promises to spend billions to keep overextended homeowners in homes they might not be able to afford. That leaves us wondering where McCain would send the bill - to the majority of homeowners who aren't in financial trouble or to our children?
On his VP pick Sarah Palin, and her tactics on the campaign trail, they wrote...
McCain has either lost control of the campaign or endorses her rough campaign tactics. With the ticket trailing in the polls, Palin's role is to excite the base, not dangerously incite it.
At a time when a mere nine percent of us tell pollsters we think the country is heading in the right direction, America needs the old McCain to lead us back on course. We need the one who appealed to our common sense and conservative instincts.
The way for McCain to win this election is to convince us he is unafraid to lose. To the old McCain, it would have come naturally.
Contrast the previous statement with yesterday's endorsement.
Hard economic times, a disappointing Republican administration and the seductive promises of a master orator are pushing America toward a European-style social democracy.
If you don't want that to happen, vote for Republican Sen. John McCain.
Obama's vision of hope shines like a rainbow, appealing but just out of reach. McCain's call to freedom and responsibility is less exciting, but you know it works.
The Tribune encourages voters to vote what they believe, not what they wish were true. The nation needs a stable leader in these unpredictable times.
So let me get this straight. The Tampa Tribune is now endorsing the man that just last week they were pretty much calling erratic and unable to control his campaign? They are now claiming that John McCain is a stable leader who is fit to be President? LMFAO!!
The better choice for a newspaper in the Tampa Bay area is the St. Petersburg Times. This paper does news right.
