The Conservative Case Against Bush
Major Michigan Paper Refuses to Endorse
While not a conservative as say The Washington Times, the Detroit News is a relaible ideological friend to Republicans and their editorial board has never endorsed a democrat for president. But this year, they're refusing to endorse Bush. Why? As Elephant's been saying for months...
This seems to be the consensus of doubt that I mentioned as emerging last week. You can't thumb your nose at the core political positions of your party and then attack the opponent for being inconsistent, especially when your were elected based on people's perception that you were more honest and reliable then your opponent.

Four years ago, the choice was clear. We endorsed George W. Bush based on his promises of fiscal conservatism, limited government and prudence in foreign affairs.
Today, we sadly acknowledge that the president has failed to deliver on those promises.
