Its editorial positions have taken both liberal and conservative stances: it has steadfastly supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, warmed to President George W. Bush's proposal to partially privatize Social Security, opposed a deadline for U.S. withdrawal from the Iraq War, and advocated free trade agreements, including CAFTA.

sorry, i think newspaper endorsements are predictable and meaningless in presidential elections.
when was the last time the Post endorsed a Republican for President?
conversely, when was the last time the Boston Herald endorsed a Democrat?

in the words of mr. natural, "it don't mean shit."

nothing personal, David, just my opinion.

Washington Post endorsed Reagan. Twice. Boston Hearld is more understandable, it's in an extremely liberal area. Washington DC, however; is mixed.

I understand your point, however; I do expect Ohio newspapers to start endorsing someone soon and for that to make a difference.

The Washington Post isn't independent by any means, they lean left. If you want a more independent newspaper in DC that would be the Washington Times.

The Washington Times is owned by the Moonies for Christ's sake!

They believe that the Rev. Moon is the Second Coming of Christ.

Literally.

Yeah, that's about as independent as FoxNews.

I know but it was just as absurd as the Post being independent...

Sun Myung Moon (born January 6, 1920) is the Korean founder and leader of the world-wide Unification Church and of the larger Unification Movement which owns, operates or subsidizes many organizations involved in political, cultural, mass-media, and other activities. One of the best known of these is the Washington Times newspaper.[1]. He is also well-known for holding Blessing ceremonies, which are often called "mass weddings".

Moon has said that he is the Messiah and the Second Coming of Christ and is fulfilling Jesus' unfinished mission.[2][3]

I am shocked ... just SHOCKED, I tell you. Stop the freakin' presses! To think a leftwing rag like the WP would support a socialist candidate.

Just put the cup of Kool Aid down and back away from the table VERY slowly.

Don't socialists start by nationalizing the banks. Buy a little part and then just continue until the whole frigging nation is social eyesed.

Who would have thunk that W could spell socialism, much less be one.

Democrats not Republican control the House and the Congress. You remember them right? The ones that passed said bills? And will have to approve any such move?

No, they start by taking what I earn and giving it to some worthless jackass sitting on his ass all day doing nothing to ensure that no matter how much of a drag he is on society that he has equal buying power.

The first step to that is brainwashing gullible sheeple into believing it's a good thing and they need it.
