Stopped subscription over McCain support

In response to your endorsement of John McCain for president, we have cancelled our subscription to The News-Gazette. McCain has run an ugly, divisive and irresponsible campaign, the only discernible thread of which has been his constant willingness to sacrifice principle to the desire to get elected. His choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate reveals simultaneously his weakness in the face of the extreme right wing of his party, extraordinarily poor judgment in one of the most significant decisions a candidate for president can make, and a willingness "during a time of foreign and domestic crisis" to put his political ambitions ahead of the long-term interests of his country.
As Colin Powell made clear just a week ago, this woman is clearly not prepared to be president. Neither is John McCain.
