The Boston Herald endorsement is a very significant endorsement.

The writer has said most eloquently what many people have been trying to articulate.

"Certainly, both John Kerry [related, bio] and George Bush love this country. Both are men of good will, deep faith and vast intellect. But only one would never sacrifice principle for political advantage. One of these men says he craves the respect of the world. The other by his words and deeds commands it.

Kerry's shifting positions on the Iraq war are troubling. But it's his 20-year record of voting to weaken this nation - voting against the first Gulf War, gutting intelligence and defense programs, and maintaining a long-held belief, even after Sept. 11, that terrorism is a law-enforcement matter that renders him unfit to serve as commander in chief.

John Kerry, who has served this state in the U.S. Senate is in his bid for the presidency simply the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

President Bush [related, bio] is the right one. He carries the badge of a police officer killed in the World Trade Center in his pocket. And he carries the profound responsibility to honor the lives lost on Sept. 11 by protecting the homeland ``whatever it takes'' on his shoulders.

Certainly, Bush did what any president would have done after Sept. 11. He went after al-Qaeda by invading the country that harbored its leaders, he relentlessly hunted down the masterminds of the attack, toppled the Taliban and freed the Afghan people.

For some that would have been enough. But it would have meant America would be no safer today than it was on Sept. 10. And we may already have had to dig out from the rubble of another terrorist attack"

The paragraphs above are the most important in this article and deserve copying and repeating.
