Free Republic

George Clooney is making his disdain for Donald Trump known not just here in the United States but also overseas. The actor was interviewed by members of the international press at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday afternoon, and took some time to share with them his opinion of Trump. 'There's not going to be a President Donald Trump,' said Clooney, who held a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton last month in Los Angeles where tickets reportedly went for $353,400 per couple. 'That's not going to happen. Fear is not going to be something that drives our country. We're not going...

That whooshing sound you heard, after the first presidential debate on Wednesday night, was the collective exhalation of the breath of every Patriot Tea Party member in the nation. We’d all hoped that Mitt Romney would at least hold his own with the ‘Anointed One’, whose brilliance, we had been assured by the Lame Stream Press, eclipsed that of all mortal men. To my absolute delight, after the first few minutes, it became readily apparent that Mitt Romney not only had the effrontery to challenge the media messiah… he neatly filleted him… in a gentlemanly sort of way. It’s what...

In an ominous sign for President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, independent voters now favor Republicans by nearly the same margins that they went for Obama in 2008 and for his party in the 2006 midterms, according to a survey by

Currently 62% Democrat, 36% Republican

The state GOP committee voted today to nominate former Congressman Rick Lazio as its candidate for governor, while keeping Democrat-turned-Republican off the ballot after he failed to garner enough votes. Nearly 60 percent of the GOP faithful gathered at the Sheraton Hotel & Towers voted to make Lazio their standard-bearer in the race against Democrat Andrew Cuomo in November. Lazio served in Congress from 1993 to 2001 and lost to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the US Senate race in 2000. Levy, the Suffolk County executive favored by party Chairman Ed Cox, came in second with 28 percent. In a separate...

RUSH: Here's Nancy Pelosi. She is not happy. Obama's out there, promised eight times, have all these health care negotiations on C-SPAN, Brian Lamb said, "Hey, televise them, we'll do everything, we'll let the American public see this exactly like President Obama said." And Pelosi, she's not happy about this at all. This is yesterday afternoon in Washington, a reporter said, "C-SPAN wrote a letter, Mr. Lamb, to you guys to have this process be transparent regardless conference committee. Right now it's being done with a ping-pong. Any response to that? PELOSI: Really? Well, (laughing) There are a number of...

Polling Shows Support for Arnold's Reforms... Despite What You May Hear! Undoubtedly, you have seen a lot lately about poll numbers. It is time to put them into some perspective. Mike Murphy, Arnold’s political consultant, sent the following statement out to the press. As you can see, Mike doesn’t think much of any public poll taken 5 months before the election! And you shouldn’t either. Our own internal polling shows Arnold in much better shape than the media would have you believe. We have also attached a few charts and graphs to show you what the public REALLY thinks about...

I start on a personal note. I would like for the record to show that, today, I formally disavow the Republican Party as well as my past support for the Second Gulf War. Now, let me be frank: This is something I didn't see coming a year ago. I only saw things through a prism of GOP allegiance back then. I'm a year older now -- a year wiser, I suppose. It shouldn't be easy for an op-ed writer to admit when he's wrong. But I was. And it is. And in light of George Bush's latest State of the...

Election Through Litigation Al Gore's decision to contest the Florida election in 2000 until the bitter end has already changed the way free elections are decided. Voters used to have the final say in elections, but this is changing fast as the pending 2002 elections are fought over by judges and trial lawyers practicing scorched-earth tactics at the urging of the Political Parties. As a result, both the Democrats and the Republicans have been liberated to pursue litigation of the type Al Gore unleashed in Florida. The most recent example is the recent ploy used by New Jersey Democrats to...

Beware the Democratic Trap Paving the way to November. By Kevin A. Hassett amp; John R. Lott Jr., resident scholars, the American Enterprise Institute. March 8, 2002, 8:25 a.m. nbsp; he House voted Thursday to pass a significantly pared down stimulus package. The package included an extension of unemployment insurance benefits and a relatively small tax break for business investment. By giving so much ground on the stimulus bill, House Republicans have fallen into a trap that was set for them two weeks earlier by Tom Daschle. It is fairly clear now that a key Democratic strategy for the fall...
