COMMENTARY

Third parties are not 'traitor' votes

I plan on voting for Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate for president, today. In the past few months, I've listened to and read all sorts of misconceived rantings against third-party voters. The mainstream camps like to brand us as idealistic, fringy or foolish.

COMMENTARY

Good flip-flop

The ability to learn from our mistakes is what facilitates knowledge - knowledge of our surroundings, our environment and the people in it.

COMMENTARY

Horrible house

We all are entitled to the freedom of speech. But people don't necessarily have a right to force their own beliefs onto other people without giving valid context. That's the main problem we find with the "House of Horrors" run by Lansing's Mount Hope Church.

COMMENTARY

Church display is 'disgusting,' wrong

I just want to say that I am outraged by Mount Hope Church's recruitment of our area youth to their "House of Horrors" in which they subject these youth to scenes of abortion, child molestation and rape.

COMMENTARY

SN endorsement follows old practice

I only have one question for Ron Ziehmer, who seems so appalled that The State News endorsed a presidential candidate "SN endorsement is not representation" (SN 10/29): Have you ever read a newspaper in your entire life?

COMMENTARY

Vote tomorrow

Leading up to tomorrow's election, we at The State News have given you a reason to vote every day.

COMMENTARY

SN endorsement is not representation

How could you honestly print the editorial "Kerry in 2004" (SN 10/27) in The State News? Not only is it completely inappropriate to tell a 40,000-plus student body that the paper they read every day has an liberal agenda and that they can't count on fair and unbiased reporting, but you mean to tell me that every single person working for or employed by The State News is a Kerry supporter?

COMMENTARY

Too soon

It was only three years ago that the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon were attacked claiming thousands of lives.

COMMENTARY

Joel and Phil

And then there were two. The State News is endorsing two candidates for the two open positions on the MSU Board of Trustees.

COMMENTARY

Kosovo actions are proof Kerry is lost

I am not surprised The State News is using complete propaganda to endorse Sen. John Kerry. "Kerry will have an easier time gaining the international troop support needed to get Iraq up and running on a level the current 'coalition' cannot provide." Where is this coming from?

COMMENTARY

Kerry endorsement aside, Bush will win

On Wednesday, The State News endorsed John Kerry for president ("Kerry in 2004" SN 10/27). Kudos for drafting an endorsement more vigorous than the tired, hesitating and reluctant endorsements nearly every other Kerry-supporting paper in the country has written.

COMMENTARY

Cast away

This time around, when you go to the polls on Nov. 2, you're going to need to know your rights. Take into account where you are.
