HUNTER S. THOMPSON ENDORSES KERRY ... SORT OF!
AND THAT'S MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!
I'm going to be perfectly honest. I haven't looked into this, so it might be an odd hoax of some kind. But I can't imagine why anyone would pretend to be Thompson saying good things about Kerry.
"Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel like a winner, I had a quick little rendezvous with him on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen, Colorado, where he was scheduled to meet with a harem of wealthy campaign contributors. As we rode to the event, I told him that Bush's vicious goons in the White House are perfectly capable of assassinating Nader and blaming it on him. His staff laughed, but the Secret Service men didn't. Kerry quickly suggested that I might make a good running mate, and we reminisced about trying to end the Vietnam War in 1972.
That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn and I was trying to throw a dead, bleeding rat over a black-spike fence and onto the president's lawn.
We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon -- which wise people said was impossible, but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a river.
That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it's still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House."
UPDATE: A MMC source known only as the Dingo found the quote in a Rolling Stone article titled "Fear and Loathing, Campaign 2004: Dr. Hunter S. Thompson Sounds Off on the Fun-Hogs in the Passing Lane".
Highly recommended.

YES, THERE ARE HONEST AND INFORMED REPUBLICANS!
AND THEY ARE VOTING FOR KERRY!
Click here for a story about Elmer L. Andersen, who used to be the Republican governor of Minnesota.

"I am more fearful for the state of this nation than I have ever been -- because this country is in the hands of an evil man: Dick Cheney."
KERRY ROCKS!
SAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! VOTE KERRY!
UPDATE: Here's a few more Republicans that are endorsing Kerry or not voting for Bush.

AXIS OF EVIL ENDORSES BUSH!
OSAMA BIN LADEN TO CAMPAIGN FOR BUSH IN SWING STATES!
Yes, I'm getting a little carried away, huh? After all, it wasn't the whole Axis of Evil. It was just Iran.
Read this story on yahoo.com for the details.
Will North Korea and Cuba endorse Bush soon enough to make a difference?
