Free Republic

I posted this a couple of months ago. But I thought it would be good to do it again. The more liberal lurkers and other see it the better. Somebody post it on the DU board!

It recently occurred to me that the one-party democracy of the USSR is not much worse than the present system at home.Since Nader is not a candidate with a serious chance of victory, the choice is between Democrat or Republican, and in a 2000 debate, Bush and Gore agreed on 39 separate issues! Those who are further from the centre such as moderate socialists have no voice, which is sad considering that the combined Gore/Nader vote of centre-left held the majority over Bush. The people are always doomed to vote for the lesser of two evils. only in the democracy...

For Immediate Release Tuesday, August 24, 2004 KERRY CAMPAIGN BACKTRACKS ON FIRST PURPLE HEART AWARD Campaign Says May Have Been Self-Inflicted Washington—In a reversal of their staunch defense of John Kerry's military service record, Kerry campaign officials were quoted by Fox News saying that it was indeed possible that John Kerry's first Purple Heart commendation was the result of an, unintentional, self-inflicted wound." "GARRETT: And questions keep coming. For example, Kerry received a Purple Heart for wounds suffered on December 2, 1968. But in Kerry's own journal written nine days later, he writes he and his crew, quote, "hadn't been...

WASHINGTON – John Kerry stands by his claims in 1971 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that U.S. soldiers in Vietnam regularly, and as a matter of official policy, committed war atrocities against innocent civilians, according to a top campaign official. John Hurley, national director of Veterans for Kerry, denied on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, that Kerry had overstated the case against the war when he returned home as a spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. A new ad by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth targets Kerry's comments in 1971 as giving aid and comfort...

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Saturday night urged President Bush to "stand up and stop" what he called personal attacks on him over his combat record in Vietnam. At a fund-raiser attended by about 750 people, Kerry said the attacks by a group of Vietnam veterans and former Swift Boat commanders have intensified "because in the last months they have seen me climbing in America's understanding that I know how to fight a smarter and more effective war" against terrorists. "That's why they're attacking my credibility. That's why they've personally gone after me. The...

8/20/2004 5:16:00 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: National Desk, Political Reporter Contact: Chad Clanton or Phil Singer, both of Kerry-Edwards 2004, 202-464-2800; Web: http://www.johnkerry.com WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Kerry-Edwards campaign spokesman Chad Clanton released the following statement today about the new Swift Boat Veterans for Bush ad: "This is another ad from a front group funded by Bush allies that is trying to smear John Kerry. The newest ad takes Kerry's testimony out of context, editing what he said to distort the facts. He testified as a 27 year-old Vietnam veteran. He opposed a war that, at that point, cost...

US Senator John Kerry’s campaign team today called for a book which contains “proven falsehoods” about the presidential candidate’s Vietnam war record to be taken off the shelves. Unfit for Command, written by a former US sailor who served in Vietnam, alleges that Mr Kerry lied to win his war medals. It also claims that the former Swift Boat captain, who hopes to oust George Bush from the White House in November, won a silver star for bravery by actually shooting a lone, fleeing teenage Viet Cong soldier in the back. Mr Kerry yesterday made his first direct attack on...

Kerry: Bush Lets Groups Do 'Dirty Work' RON FOURNIER Associated Press BOSTON - John Kerry fought back Thursday against campaign allegations that he exaggerated his combat record in Vietnam, accusing President Bush of using a Republican front group "to do his dirty work" and challenging Bush to debate their wartime service records. "Well, if he wants to have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: Bring it on," said the Democratic presidential candidate, reviving an old war and campaign slogan amid strong urging from party leaders for him to respond to two-week-old GOP assertions. As Kerry...

First Id like to know what communism is and how it is different from socialism? Second I would also like to know about why Russia collapsed.

Flip flops? Your boy Bush make Kerry look like a minor leaguer. See below: 1. Bush is against campaign finance reform; then he's for it. 2. Bush is against a Homeland Security Department; then he's for it. 3. Bush is against a 9/11 commission; then he's for it. 4. Bush is against an Iraq WMD investigation; then he's for it. 5. Bush is against nation building; then he's for it. 6. Bush is against deficits; then he's for them. 7. Bush is for free trade; then he's for tariffs on steel; then he's against them again. 8.

I wanted to invite everyone to greet our newest signup, whyareyoudumbandhateful. Do you think his or her first post will be to make a donation on the Freepathon thread?

I have asked that Mr. Robinson and the moderators remove my account. I no longer wish to be a part of this website. The response I received was that I must post an opus first. This is my opus. For friends of mine who wish to contact me at any time in the future, I will be over at designeduniverse.com. The prayer thread for President Bush which I started on this hand is in capable hands. I appreciate all who have kept it going and pray that it continues. I also pray that Free Republic will return to the forum...

Here is a snipet from the article, which was originally in the L.A. TIMES. "Under state law, election officials have until Nov. 15 — 39 days after the election — to complete the certification process." The big questions will be -- How long will Davis be allowed to remain in office after the election, and how much damage will he be able to do?

Okay, probably not the best ever. But knowing how Freepers just love to shoot down a boaster, I figure this is bait they won't be able to resist. ;^)The Farewell Opus is a grand old tradition here at Free Republic, and there are certain rules one should follow, but I'm going to break some of them. FIRST... I'm supposed to moan about how Free Republic used to be so great, but now it's changed and become nothing but a feuding, controlling zionist forum, or Bush-lovers forum, or whatever.Not at all. I've been on FR since October 1999. I first appeared...

As of Saturday, July 20, 2002 at 2pm in Calhoun Georgia, at the Newtown Baptist Church, Darth Sidious exchanged wedding vows with his lovely Bride, Lisa. Yours truly was there to witness the happy event. Groom cried, Bride cried, I cried (Yeah, I decided to admit that before Darth gets the chance to spill the beans on me). The day before on Friday, I arrived in Atlanta and Darth himself picked me up at the airport for our very first face to face meeting. As delightful, as a terrific person as as he is online, he is ten million times...
