Free Republic

New, from Republican Pictures, comes the story of one conservative Italian’s crushing defeat at the hands of a “Blue Dog Democrat,” his six-year exile from the Republican Party, and his long climb back to remove Barack Obama from the White House. The film that shows that conservatism can actually win at the ballot box. It’s Ricky II! Mike DeWine calls the film, “a must see.” Foster Friess warns you to “keep your aspirins handy.” Mark Levin says, “If a man can take a beating like that and come back, he’s got my vote.”

If you're a Republican in New York or another big city, you may be anxious or even terrified at the prospect that Rick Santorum, the supposedly unelectable social conservative, may win the GOP presidential nomination. Jeffrey Bell would like to set your mind at ease. Social conservatism, Mr. Bell argues in his forthcoming book, "The Case for Polarized Politics," has a winning track record for the GOP. "Social issues were nonexistent in the period 1932 to 1964," he observes. "The Republican Party won two presidential elections out of nine, and they had the Congress for all of four years in...

NewsChannel 9 has learned that Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum will visit the Scenic City later this month. He will headline the Chattanooga Tea Party's Liberty Forum on Saturday, February 25th, from 1 until 4 p.m. at Abba's House on Hixson Pike. The Tea Party's president says the event will be free and open to the public. The following is the news release from the Chattanooga Tea Party announcing the event: Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum will headline the Chattanooga Tea Party’s Liberty Forum on Saturday, February 25. The forum, which celebrates the tea party movement’s third anniversary, will offer...

HILLSDALE, MI (WTOL) – Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum will visit Hillsdale College Monday. The visit is part of the school's first presidential candidate symposium. Students have also invited the three other leading republican candidates, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, to participate in the forum. So far, Santorum is the only candidate to accept the invitation. All four candidates are campaigning heavily in Michigan ahead of the state's Feb. 28 primary. Mitt Romney held an economic roundtable discussion in Monroe Thursday. Recent polls in Michigan show Santorum ahead of the former Massachusetts Governor, who grew up in the...

Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) described Rick Santorum, when he represented Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate, as a senator who had "very little interest" in people who disagreed with him. "Rick is somebody that has no doubts about his position. And very little interest in the views of those who disagree with him," Conrad said in an interview scheduled to air Friday evening on Bloomberg TV. "I think that would be my take on how Sen. Santorum conducted himself with his colleagues when he was in the Senate." Conrad described Santorum, now contending for the Republican presidential nomination, as "unyielding and...

I am a big fan of Michele Bachmann, and I supported her candidacy for President of the United States. When she dropped out, I was forced to survey the field. I immediately ruled out Mitt Romney and Ron Paul – neither of which are conservatives. That left me with three people: Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum. But who would I vote for when the primary came to my state? I knew of Newt Gingrich’s record in the U.S. House of Representatives and Rick Perry’s record in Texas, but all I knew about Rick Santorum was that he was...

Are you a conservative man? Does every news story on the Republican primaries cause inexplicable knee jerk reactions? Are you beginning the long, painful symptoms of carpal tunnel from commenting too much on political forums? Are you having panic attacks at the thought of a Mitt Romney victory in South Carolina? Have the words, “Santorum has got to drop out…he’s splitting the conservative vote,” or “it’s finished,” become part of your everyday lexicon? If you’ve answered yes to all of these questions, you’re likely a man that suffers from ‘Premature Pull-Out Syndrome.’ But you’re not alone.

From Payback Pictures™ comes a tale of intrigue, revenge and blood thirsty politics. The Shores of Lake Winnipesaukee is a movie that’s so dark that only political junkies will enjoy this incestuous hotbed of RINO politics. It is the story of one Republican’s maniacal pursuit of revenge on his fellow Republican candidate – a man so driven that he is willing to derail his candidacy for the sake of eliminating the competition. If you liked Santorum Spanked The Establishment, you’ll love The Shores Of Lake Winnipesaukee.

We want to know what you think before the results are in. So who indeed wins the Iowa caucuses? Is it Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Santoru, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, John Huntsmann? We know those of you on Free Republic are clairvoyant and we want to know.

Since my registration on this site, January 15, 2004, I look forward to the New Year and my seventh anniversary with the finest conservative minds across the globe. It is this place that exhibits more generosity than every country combined. There is no finer place on the Internet.

It’s time to admit the obvious! It’s time to discuss Michele Bachmann’s failed bid for the President of the United States. She’s doomed! She can’t win! It’s over! It’s time we took a hard look at the truth at her run for office, her lack of conservative credentials, and find out just exactly what Michele Bachmann hasn’t done as a Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota. It has become apparent that Bachmann has ignored conservative principles. She is, in essence, a RINO of the largest sort. After all, she lives in the state of Minnesota, and Minnesotans – as a rule –...

Dearest FReepers, It is with my fondest of wishes that you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah this holiday season.

Are you a Democrat? Have you always wanted to live the lavish lifestyle but have no drive or desire to get it for yourself? Has your redress to the federal government – like the Occupy Wall Street crowd – left you out in the cold with a sore anus? If you’ve answered yes to all three questions, you need to learn how to acquire things the old fashioned way. You beg for it. That’s right. You need to get down on your knees and do some groveling. And here at the School Of Seminar Begging, we teach you not only...

With all of the talk of Ron Paul’s foreign policy, we wanted to know what is the most dangerous threat to the United States today. As usual, we go to the finest gathering of conservatives minds found on the internet. We go to Free Republic. We would love to know if Iran is the greatest threat. Is China the greatest threat? Is Barack Obama and the Democrat Party the greatest threat? Or is it the Republican Establishment that’s the greatest threat?

With Christmas coming and so many people unemployed, we have President Obama and the Democrat Party to thank for it. For many people, Christmas is being virtually flushed down the toilet while Obama flies off to Hawaii for another vacation and more rounds of golf. But here at The Right Elective Decisions we decided to have some fun and ask Free Republic if Obama were an inanimate object, what would he be?

With all the fawning over Ron Paul and his fiscal policy, it isn’t just fiscal policy that makes an effective President of the United States. It also takes sound foreign policy. So, we want to know what you think of Ron Paul’s worldview and how that worldview may affect the role of the United States of America in the world.

Cupertina, CA – In what could be the biggest move since the invention of the newest iPhone, Apple has reached out to liberal a$$hats by grabbing a new spokesperson to praise their newest iPhone product the iPhone 4S. Apple has snagged none other than Alec Baldwin, fresh off his tantrum with American Airlines, to reach out to his fellow a$$hats...

Santa’s got to make his deliveries, and he wants to know what he should leave in the stockins of Obama voters for Christmas this year. Even though Obama has practically destroyed the U.S. economy, Santa’s benevolence knows no end. The elves have been no help in answering this troubling question. So, Santa is asking American conservatives, knowing they will have the solution to the troubling problem.

From the minds of Establishment Entertainment™ comes a political thriller that will rock the American countryside – a gripping saga of one Republican’s attempt to finally make it to the White House, betting all odds that delegates will select him at a brokered convention. It’s political suspense at its finest. If you loved The Sum Of All Fears, you’ll love Brokered Convention! Starring, Mitt Romney as the establishment, snake-oil salesman that will pay any price to get the Republican primaries to the convention floor: “Romneycare was about states’ rights, damn it! It’s my turn. I’ll bet you $10,000 this goes...

Over the years, Mitt Romney has amassed a wealth of stuidity. We’d like to know what you think is the single stupidest thing he’s ever done. Is it Romneycare, Global Warming, hiring John Sununu or what? As conservatives, what do you say?

With his recent comments on President George W. Bush and 9/11, what is Ron Paul? Is he a crackpot, a moron, a rabid leftist, a weasel or a schmuck? He has always held the belief in isolation for U.S. foreign policy, but these latest comments should be more than even his supporters can take. What do you say?

With National Review and other publications basically on their knees in front of Mitt Romney, we want to know who is more conservative. Is it Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich? Since Mark R. Levin brought this up on his show, we want to know what you think. What do you say?

Alexandria, VA – Fresh off his ranking as the third most listened to talk radio host in America, Bad-Ass Comics© has created the new Mark R. Levin Action Figure™ for their new comic strip. The action figure is reportedly sweeping the nation, and more importantly, it’s not for kids, it’s for adults. That right! It’s for adults! Bad-Ass Comics© says that the action figure was “specifically designed to kick Statist ass!” Arty Spellman – the creator of the Mark R. Levin Action Figure™ – says that there isn’t a better person to fight Statists for American liberty than Mark R....

We want to know what you would do with the pages of Obama’s recent Ossawatamie speech. Would you burn it, wipe yourself with it, wipe yourself and then mail it back to the White House? What do you say?

Announcer’s Voice: Hey, guys and gals! Where do you go for a good old-fashioned political lynching? Guys and Gals: Where? Announcer’s Voice: You go to Politico! Guys and Gals: Politico? Announcer’s Voice: Thaaaatttt’ssss right! Politico…the place where everyone goes for good old-fashioned political lynchings. No other news source quite strings ‘em up like Politico.

With Herman Cain leaving the primary race, whom do you throw your support behind? Is it Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachamnn, Rick Santorum, or whom? We want to know what you think? What say you ping list?

Should Herman Cain drop out of the race? Or should he stay in the race until the voters tell him to leave? Does he fight? Or does he leave? And if he should leave, why? What do you say?

Scene Opens To The White House Kitchen As Chefs Are Preparing Routine Meals It’s the holidays and that means goodies and treats!

This year he’s offering his tasty Monkey bread and delectable Silky Chocolate Balls.

As Mark Levin suggests, which candidate is likely to fight to begin the return to a Republic? After examining all of the candidates, which candidate is going to fight the establishment in Washington? Which candidate is it that will “take the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” and return them back ten fold? What candidate will promote the most conservative agenda for America and its people? And remember, there hasn’t been one vote for one candidate in one single state. What do you say?

Does this latest accusation suggest that the left is indeed afraid of Herman Cain? Or is there something else there? Does her past give us any answers? Is she a gold-digging whore? Or is Herman Cain a philandering adulterer

Do the recent endorsements of Newt Gingrich’s immigration policy spell the end of his campaign? Or does it even matter?

Is your man a RINO? Does he have that awful stench that says, “Open Borders?” Has he aspired to a higher public office, but has yet been able to get over the hump because of his nasty policies on illegal immigration? If you’re a woman that’s stuck with a man like that, then there’s only one thing you can do. You need a bottle of Deport, cologne by Adam LeDouche, designed specifically to cover up the awful odor of RINOs. “This is a one-of-a-kind cologne,” claims LeDouche. “Its musty, woody fragrance covers up the ‘I’m for open borders’ scent.

A shot of Ron Paul appears, deep on the campaign trail in Davenport, Iowa. Here, Paul stops to make an appearance at the Iowa 80 Truckstop to pitch his policies to the day in and day out truck drivers. Paul, thinking: Mmmm…a new constituent. Let’s see if I can wow them with my rock solid conservative principles. The constituent turns and runs when he gets a look at Ron Paul’s hair. Camera quickly goes to Mitt Romney, adorned in an Italian suit and standing at the foot of the White House.

Thanksgiving is here! Many people are preparing for that feast of turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie. Some are packing clothes and making plans for their flight or drive. Others, though, are spending time with friends and family, recalling the fond memories of better days during their childhoods, as well as their traditions and the pride of celebrating this America holiday. But most conservatives, however, are gearing up for that once-a-year visit from their liberal Uncle Phil or Aunt Sally. Amidst the conversation, in the past, they would’ve been forced—through dirty looks from their spouses or a gentle hand placed on...

Republican leaders in Indiana on Monday declared as their top legislative priority making Indiana a “right to work” state, setting the stage for a new battle over union rights that has already consumed many states. The proposal would prevent unions from negotiating contracts that would require workers to pay union dues. The notion instantly set off objections from the state’s union leaders, who said the true aim was to weaken labor unions, and from Democratic lawmakers, some of whom had left the state for more than a month early this year in an effort to block similar provisions.

Women aged forty to forty-nine should not undergo routine mammography screening for breast cancer, according to new guidelines issued by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, which were published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The Task Force also recommends that the screening interval be extended to every two to three years for females aged 50 to 74, from every two years. Women should not carry out clinical breast exams and breast self-examinations if they have no symptoms pointing to breast cancer, the guidelines also recommend.

Parma, Italy – Effective today, the Earth’s destruction by mankind is eminent. That danger is coming directly from one of the top ten ways of destroying the Earth, getting sucked into a giant black hole. The method is problematic, but possible, considering the rapid increase in technology. NASA says that black holes are “evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun.” According to NASA, black holes are formed when a star undergoes a supernova explosion.

Have you ever wondered why those freaks in Occupy Wall Street like urinating on each other? I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that permits urinating on other people. Of course I’m not an expert on the Constitution...

When Barack Obama speaks to us, why does he always look like a prick when he does it? After all, shouldn’t a president show a little emotion? But Obama doesn’t.

Having stepped in it for three years, what kind of poop would Obama's policies be?

The Right Elective Decisions want to know who does Free Republic support for POTUS? Who Should Be The Republican Nominee For POTUS?

In February of 1775, the British Parliament declared the Massachusetts colony in open rebellion, authorizing British troops the power to kill the rebels. Lt. General Thomas Gage gave the order to destroy stores and quell the rebellion. So began the Battle of Lexington, the American Revolution and the quest for liberty. And on this day, we remember all of those who have served in that capacity, granting us the ability to indeed pursue liberty and happiness. From Breed's Hill to Afghanistan, the U.S. Military has secured those unalienable rights, insuring it will indeed be passed on to our posterity. So...

During summer school in the 1990s, Jonathan Martin – Senior Politico Reporter – has come forward to accuse Kenneth Vogel – Politico Political Reporter - of inappropriate behavior occurring when the two men were in between classes on campus, eventually leading to the discovery of their calling to save the world through journalism.

There are few things that Connecticut can bring to the table when discussions of American exceptionalism come to the forefront. A notable exception could be insurance, but now there is also a connection to time and its boundless second hands, the very stroke that registers as the heartbeat of the American tradition. Connecticut however, does have a rich history of ties to American exceptionalism. During the American Revolution, firearms and ammunition were produced there. Even today, there is still a glimmer of that American manufacturing with Groton as a center of submarine building. As defense spending has declined, so has...

Are you an Earthworm? Join the fun and frivolity of laughing at these Marxist freaks as there heart's desire is to nationalize everything.

Washington, D.C. – In what can only be described as a failure of liberal dogma, a political editor at Politico has come forward to declare her frustration and outrage at the lack of sexual harassment at the publication. TRED (The Right Elective Decisions) – concerned for the privacy and safety of the editor – has decided not to disclose her name, instead calling her, “Deep Throat.” After ten days of inquiries, it became abundantly clear that Deep Throat was evading the hard questions on whether there was sexual harassment at the Politico. But as the tension mounted, Deep Throat bore...
