Should he not be held to a higher standard? Fact is he is the MOST UNVETTED, dishonest candidate, always dodging issues or being evasive in his answers to inquiries! Will someone ask him this question during the next press conference? Do you know that the questionnaire being sent by his office to those who desire to serve on the cabinet and other high-ranking posts may be the most extensive in history, even invasive?

The only one I can see at this time that has his hand on the pulse of the movement is Rush Limbaugh. A new base of operations needs to be established and soon before even the remnants of the movement are scattered with such things as the fairness doctrine. So I am appealing to you Rush Limbaugh to start a new party. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2128922/posts#comment Sun, 9 Nov 2008 20:16:54 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2127711/posts I've had two epiphanies in my life, the first came in my early twenties when I turned against my fundamentalist Christian upbringing. I admit this was more of a rebellion against the strict moral code of conduct rather than an ideological awakening, however over time I rationalized and validated my reasons for disbelief. I am comfortable with my religious views, or lack thereof, if not always comforted. My second awakening of sorts started when I moved to California and saw liberalism in action. It has been a gradual process over the past couple of years but watching the election this... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2127711/posts#comment Fri, 7 Nov 2008 10:47:55 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2124082/posts New York - In an effort to sabotage the McCain Palin victory at the polls, Democrats and their friends in the Media have taken to drastic measures to prevent history from being made in the election of the first female vice president in US history. Democrats, no strangers to dirty tricks, have for months been setting the stage for this final push to suppress the vote and steal the election from the American people. They seek to demoralize and dash the hopes of hard working Americans who just want to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

We are all truly fortunate to be a part of a historic election. I urge you to let your conscience be your guide. But the election of Barack Hussein Obama would be nothing less than catastrophic for our nation. First, Obama would lead this country to a humiliating and diastrous retreat in the War on Terrorism.

This morning I'm reading a lot of information about how McCain blew the election. Did he blow it? I really can't answer that... I can see why on Friday he distanced himself at the town hall meeting in Lakeville, MN. He didn't want to be branded a racist, which ironically, the dems keep raising the issue, even Obama himself. The one thing McCain can do between now and election day is come up with a detailed plan on the economy, something Obama has not done. McCain should also distribute the letter... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2103731/posts#comment Sun, 12 Oct 2008 13:53:11 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2088350/posts If you have wondered why celebrities seem to be so important in elections you need look no further than how Gov. Palin is scheduled to meet with several world leaders. As you read the list of top dignitaries you will notice which one gets top billing….is it with Iraq President Jalal Talabani or Pakistan’s newly-elected President Asif Ali Zardari? Is it with the presidents of Georgia and the Ukraine? Maybe the prime minister of India will get top billing.

They need to promote aomprehensive energy policy that includes drilling for petroleum and natural gas, mining for clean coal and development of alternative energy sources, including wind, solar, hydro and biofuels. Here are the benefits: 1. There is an estimate of several million, good paying domestic jobs that would be created, which would birng down unemployment and increase tax revenues. 2.

At first my confusion and disgust were aimed at the arrogance of our State Legislature. Now, I find anger has overtaken my disappointment for my Governor, Bobby Jindal. My anger also extends to the national media, which includes the press and conservative radio talk show host that have long touted the “savior of the Republican party’s future.” Since Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana has made the national news and exposed the corrupt and inept leadership in Baton Rouge.

Lets demand that one woman and one man marriges no longer get the benefits that type of marriage receives from federal and state government. When they realize that they have no power of decision making over the health of their mate, that neither one can inherit the social security or the estate they have built and that they loose all the benefits just for the entitlement of one man and one woman marriage certificate.

The arguments convolute two separate points. First, they say that waterboarding is not torture and in the next breath they defend its use. “Cdr.

I wondered for a while now about McCain. I am now totally convinced that McCain values World opinion over the value of American lives. He would rather let Americans die (like Lambs to Slaughter) than jeopardize his so called World opinion. Firstly, as pointed out in the debate – the terrorists are not uniformed military personnel who abide by the Geneva Convention. They cut heads off and hang their opposition from bridges.
