Free Republic

Today, Republicans got some good news from the Sunshine State. A new poll of Florida voters shows President Obama faring poorly in hypothetical re-election match-ups. He trails both former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) and former Governor Mike Huckabee by five percentage points.

Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann is an accomplished woman — a former federal tax attorney, mother of five, longtime conservative activist — but evidently not a specialist in colonial history or New England geography. Speaking at an event Saturday in Manchester, N.H., Bachmann misplaced the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World,” producing much guffawing from liberals. Apparently, Gawker editor Jeff Neumann was so eager to jump on the dogpile he didn’t have time to spellcheck: No one has ever accused Tea Partiers of being especially bright, but Michele Bachmann blew it pretty hard today in New Hamshire. …

It’s nearly impossible to hear or read about the prospective 2012 Republican presidential candidates without the nasty F word being mentioned. No — not that word. Flawed. All the 2012 GOP challengers are continuously dismissed in the media. It’s like little laser beams are focused on each ostensibly fatal flaw, blinding voters to the totality of the candidate’s career and achievements:

Even if humans stop producing excess carbon dioxide in 2100, the lingering effects of global warming could span the next millennia. The results? By the year 3000, global warming would be more than a hot topic - the West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse, and global sea levels would rise by about 13 feet (4 meters), according to a new study.

Sarah Palin seems to be the favorite of the majority of Free Republic members. I still have not made up my mind about her. But if she is the consevative movement's choice to take on the disaster of Obama who has gone from The Messiah to the Mess then there are things that she will need to overcome to get 50% plus one of the American people's vote in 2012. I've listed the ones I hope her supporters can address here because failure to take these issues on will result in certain defeat.

This week’s adjustment by Cook is not that extensive, but it’s a doozy: Incumbent Republican MA-06 John Tierney Bill Hudak NJ-06 Frank Pallone Anna Little NC-04 David Price BJ Lawson OH-10 Dennis Kuchinich Peter Corrigan OR-04 Peter DeFazio Art Robinson TN-05 Jim Cooper David Hall TX-25 Lloyd Doggett Donna Campbell Those are all formerly-safe races that are now abruptly… not-safe. They’ve all gone from Safe Democratic to Likely Democratic, but this kind of movement is consistent with a continuing drift towards the GOP side. It would be interesting to see what the Toss-Up and Lean Republican totals would look like...

Amid growing dissatisfaction with federal employees, a group of younger, web-savvy feds are planning to march on Saturday in defense of their coworkers on the sidelines of Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity." Organizers of the "Government Doesn't Suck March" (their choice of words, not ours) were inspired in part by last week's Washington Post poll that revealed widespread negative perceptions of federal workers. "We hear it day in and day out: the government sucks, federal employees are lazy and their positions are redundant," said march organizer Steve Ressler, founder of GovLoop, a social networking Web site for public servants.

Currently Intrade has it plus 8 in the Senate for the GOP and plus 45 GOP for the House. Looking good, but stay vigilent!

IowaHawk starts us off. Your turn.

This is well worth reading.

With the constant Palin is Reagan and Romney is RINO chit chat on here in between the odd pit bull story I wanted a late night discussion of Mitch Daniels. Is he Rino or Reagan? Or in my view maybe Coolidge. What say yee FreeRepublic?

This may have already been posted but check the link the picture is simply priceless.

Looks like the Scotch and Cigs got him.

Okay I have found the perfect Free Republic Thread! Top This! A Pit Bull bites the leg of a Mormon Missionary who is campaigning door to door for Duncan Hunter 2012 and tries to defend himself against the Pit Bull with a Sarah Palin for President yard sign and stumbles into the street where he is hit by a car with a Ron Paul 2000 bumper sticker. Then you would have the perfect Free Republic thread.

I challenge all FREEPERS to not post one thread in the next twenty four hours about, Sarah Palin, Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul and Mormons. I will contribute $100 to the J.D. Hayworth campaign if it happens.

Tennessee shocks the basketball world.

Guess he couldn't heal his marriage. Cult Alert!

Write a parody to the tune of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Here are two examples from Pajama Media. “Wasting again, my friends here in Obamaville, waiting for those lost high-pointed polls. Some people claim the economy is to blame, but I know – it’s Bush’s fault!”

With dozens of new Congressional Districts having been created by the Messiah it is a golden opportunity for conservatives to take back Congress. For example Obama's Recovery.org has added thirteen new districts to Alaska. So get to work conservatives and organize your campaigns now. Take New Hampshire for example.
