Agreed, but we all have to do it at the same time AND they enemy has to know it, or they will never change.

I wouldn't bet the farm on the internet.

Sorry Bob, I find anyone who has a tagline promoting his new Righttalk.com website, then says "I wouldn't bet the farm on the internet." is doin' a little shadowboxing of his own...

Texas,

Kerry also wrote himself (and his crew)a falsified report and turned it in with a request for a Silver Star. The Command did not go through normal channels and lowered it to a Bronze Star. They didn't go through the normal investigative process. He "lucked out".

Kerry spent 4 months on Destroyer in the Tonkin Golf and transfered to Swift boats where he spent 4 months. He now claims that he had TWO TOURS in Vietnam. His total time off the coast and in-country is 4 months less that one normal tour. This is the kind of manipulation that Kerry does. He is the worst.

You want to make some signs for the "National March Against Terror" on Sept 11th?

Dear despondent Freeper friends:

I don't know how long it will take for those who want to save our country to learn a simple truth. The radicalism, ruthlessness, corruption and deceit of the democrats is being fueled by the absolute timidness of the republicans. IF, God forbid, we ever face a dictatorship or an attack with WMD's that threatens this country's existence, historians will point to the REPUBLICANS' failure to stand guard at the gate.

I frequently hear "prominent" democrats say things on TV for which they should be hounded until they resign their seats in embarrasment. I NEVER hear the republicans even take note of it. I heard Senator Joseph Biden on Hardball, with our troops at war, say as plain as day the only good thing to come out of our failed policy in Iraq will be a defeated, demoralized America that will not dare threaten Syria or Iran. I frequently see republicans (including Gingrich) praising Biden, and Kerry will make him secretary of state.

There is no end to it. We have marxist members of congress who praise cop killers as "freedom fighters (Maxine Waters). Never has a republican called for her resignation from Congress.

Yet the democrat leadership calls our President "AWOL" and a "deserter." Republicans take it on the chin like fools, and the thing that infuriates me is this country and our families are the real ones taking it on the chin. WE will suffer, not a republican politician because they lose an election.

IF republicans even understood the principles, and fought for them, they could force the media to tell their side (our side) of the story. If they would confront the democrats they would embarass them into a less radical position.

I think George Bush is a great and decent man, but the whole republican party is allowing this country to go down the tubes to unchallenged radical leftism. It's not even my favorite example, but Good God, the Swift Boat Vets are dozens of highly decorated American heroes. No mainstream Republican figure will dare defend them, while the democrats savage them. And all to show respect for the Republicans' irresponsible, left wing opponent. But again, the democrats will call Bush a deserter.

We do not have a political party capable of defending the best interests of this great Nation.

You'll notice those Heinz bottles are upside down, just like the Kerry belief system

[Torie]

I don't know WHO he's with.

Ratings, a desperate need for attention, and preserving his very fragile ego. I think the guy is close to a sicko. Really.

[Bob J]

Agreed Tonk, but then why is Bush fighting for his life against Kerry?

I'm sending you to someone in your state by FReep mail, ok

Tex, lead the cheerleaders all you want. -- I have no objections.

But cheerleading the FR choir doesn't win elections. -- I think that's one of Bob J's points here. The "center" has to be won, -- by facts, not more empty rah ra rhetoric.

Republicans have to come up with some REAL issues to convince that center to vote for them.
Can you name some? All I see so far is the same old tired bull we've been hearing since Nixon.

[Texasforever]

I have always disliked "freeping" on-line polls BUT DU and other sites are really into it and there is a certain logic to it. It sets perceptions in some minds when you see Kerry wining those polls on a consistent basis. I can't believe I am advocating this but hell let's freep some polls.

[Bob J]

"From many responses, I'll go with Occam's Razor -- under what possible set of circumstances are 45% of the US electorate not going to vote Stupid Party each and every time? MSNBCCNNCBSABCNBC could be off the air tomorrow and Stupid Party would still pull 45%."

Studies show hardcore libs and conserves each make up about 25%-30% of the population, that leaves 40%-50% of swing voters...the people who actually decide elections.

The market hasn't touched the secondary educational system much. But it is touching the media more and more. It is sort of like the airlines. As market forces intrude, at first it has a small impact, and then all of a sudden, under stress, the bottom falls out.

[okie01]

Yes Bob, - how can we rid ourselves of the 'two party' system, if we unconditionally support one half of it?

Tell me, how do 3rd partiers plan to influence the outcome of the game when they are always on the sidelines? Or in the stands?

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

Make me a sign that is 20 feet high and 50 long that says in big red letters "F&#K YOU JOHN KERRY" ( but spell it all out).

I want to hang it across the front of my house.

[Mr.Atos]

Bravo, Sir!

You are a sincere diplomat. You give that bottom-feeding, half-witted, partisan son of a *itch far too much credit, imo.

As I've said repeatedly, Matthews is Bertram Scudder incarnate.

As I said, the left didn't spring up overnight in the journalism and education fields. This was a patient effort, and there is no quick fix.

Work from the grassroots. Combat ignorance by talking with neighbors. I've been able to tell a few people something they didn't know while standing on line at the supermarket, just by commenting on a headline on the magazine rack.

Don't get locked into the idea that if you can't make a big bang then it's not worth it. The little things add up.

[texasbluebell]

Whoa. You've nailed it.

[38special]

It's depressing to think that half of this country is falling for it. It's downright scary watching the Kerry crowds chanting 'help is on the way' in unison. They might as well be holding out their beggar cups. Gimme gimme gimme. Really sad.

[Bob J]

Unfortunately, I believe the left and the media are more dedicated and entrenched than you may believe.
