No question: Hillary flubbing the debate question on licensing illegals was a pivotal moment. Hillary started sinking fast when she enthusiastically walked right into the quicksand---by stupidly endorsing licensing illegals---the cockamamie plan dreamed up by NY Gov Spitzer.
The illegals question posed by Tim Russert at the Philly debate did what no other question could have doneit destroyed Hill's credibility, sank her poll numbers, destroyed her front-runner status, and demolished her inevitability factor. Cant ask for more than that.
Clinton wanted to suckup to illegals to avoid offending Hispanics and came out in favor of licensing illegals---an issue fully 80% of Americans from all segments of the political spectrum oppose. She later realized her general-election vulnerability, reversed course again and opposed them outright. She has taken 5-6 positions on the issue, to date, and her last word on whether she supports licensing was a one word answer: "No."
To complicate matters, Hillary has top-loaded her campaign with latinos. Besides co-chair LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Hill's "Hispanic advisor" is Raul Humberto Yzaguirre, ex-director/founder of the radical, racist La Raza.
Gotta wonder what the quid pro quo is here: Is Hillary planning to turnover the SW to Mexico? Maybe ban guns and legalize machetes? Give free US drivers' licenses to all of Mexico? The possibilities for Hill's hyphenate-Hispandering are endless.
Ditto that.
NASA corrects it's weather temperature data, admitting the 1930's was warmer than the current weather. Global Warming is proven a hoax once again, and then Al Gore is given the Nobel Peace Prize for pitching the hoax.
Worst Moment
Watching Free Republic become an obnoxious unreadable forum full of idiots. Every thread is nothing but foaming at the mouth hate raves about Republican candidates.
The mass media paid attention to the bodies in the streets, but failed to take into account the mass phone call and email campaign against amnesty.
Someone has to give an honorable mention to NC DA Roy Cooper torpedoing the Crystal Mangum/ Michael Nifong hoax. The next time a DA starts to try a case in the press, the defendant's lawyer will say "Mike Nifong, is that you? I thought you had been debarred!"
Kerik indicted.
That one’s pretty good, if this is an international thread. I suppose the “Don’t tase me, bro” would be a defining moment for domestic politics. Both of these offer something from the lighthearted perspective.
I think the defining moment in 2007 was when GWB called people who opposed his shamnesty plan, “bigots”. It served to define the shape of the presidential race, domestic politics, and GWB’s legacy all in one swoop.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Interesting. When I look at other conservative forums, they have “truth files” on the Democratic opposition. When I look here the “truth files” are on the Republican front-runners. Has Free Republic become a back room of DU?
Two good ones right there for sure.
I can't comprehend how Reid can address the Senate and try to take credit for this. There can't be an honest bone in that man's body. Jeeez.
Maybe I can comprehend it....coming from a lib, but it really tears at me that honesty and decency is apparently so foreign to anyone, but especially one of this countries leaders.
Hillary’s stupid Christmas message.
Reditto it! And Merry Christmas!
