Democrats4Bush:Right War,Right Time,Right Man In the city where buildings fell and a nation rose, an important newspaper has raised its voice for President Bush's re-election. The New York Daily News has a tradition of endorsing Democrats, picking Clinton both times and Al Gore in 2000. The editors have their disagreements with the President on many issues, but on the inescapable issue of our time, the choice is clear -- President George W. Bush has led with clarity and resolve and he deserves four more years. The endorsement begins with a poignant reminder of what we have been through: The United States is at war — long-term, make no mistake. Muslim fanatics are bent on destroying the rest of humankind. One September morning three years ago, they felled the World Trade Center, struck at the Pentagon and might have smashed the Capitol or the White House had they not been stopped by the heroism of the doomed passengers on a hijacked jetliner. In rage and sorrow, New Yorkers do not forget that terrible day. And we live now in the shadows of menace. The next President of the United States has no higher duty than to prevent more such catastrophic blows, here or anywhere on these shores, by waging a sustained worldwide assault against the bringers of destruction. As New York's Hometown Newspaper and eyewitness to the devastation that can suddenly rain down, the Daily News prays that the coming commander-in-chief will be up to the task of fighting this great war. Throughout this campaign, the paper believes Senator Kerry has sent all the wrong signals on the war on terror. The paper urges readers to choose wisely on Tuesday: At this critical juncture, America cannot afford such a lack of clarity — or even a hint that a President would revert to playing defense rather than staying on the offensive. Nor would it be wise to change commanders midbattle in Iraq and around the globe, replacing a tested leader with a man who would have to learn on the job under the most difficult circumstances. With so much at stake, that's a transition not to be wished for. Returning Bush to office is the wise course, The News believes, despite our sharp disagreement with his domestic policies. Those pale in comparison with the overarching challenge of securing the nation and preserving New York's vital way of life. Of the two candidates, Bush has the clearer vision for accomplishing the goal, as well as the greater experience. He gets our endorsement.
