Free Republic

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe and Rep. John Sullivan officially endorsed Republican Fred Thompson for president on Wednesday. Thompson's presidential campaign made the announcement for the two Oklahoma Republicans. Inhofe had gone public with his support of Thompson last June, even before the attorney-turned-actor-turned-politician had entered the race. Sullivan confirmed his endorsement Wednesday. "I am proud to support Senator Thompson," he said in a written statement. "He is a backer of fiscally responsible spending, positive immigration reform and correcting our nation's broken health-care system." Inhofe cited Thompson's leadership and proven record of supporting conservative values. "As Americans get to know Fred...

Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin won an easy victory for the Republican nomination for the 5th District congressional seat on Tuesday, defeating Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett in a run-off primary. Fallin had 26,744 votes, or 63.1 percent, and Cornett had 15,665 votes, or 36.9 percent. The mayor conceded with a little more than two-thirds of the vote counted.

Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin’s first-place finish in the July 25 Republican primary for Oklahoma’s 5th District seat, with 35 percent of the vote, didn’t automatically make her the front-runner for her Aug. 22 runoff against Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett, who took 24 percent in the first round. But the endorsements Fallin received Monday from all four of the other candidates who ran in the primary — and who received a combined 41 percent of the vote — may do the trick. In order of their finish in the primary, state Corporation Commissioner Denise Bode, state Reps. Kevin Calvey and...

Fallin says her agenda in Congress will be guided by three basic principles. "Make no mistake: I am a person who believes in faith, family and freedom," she said. "That's what I'll speak out for in Congress and that's how I'll vote."

2004 US Senate Elections These are the states I am watching: Florida: I believe that Martinez will help Bush here. I think Cubans that are having doubts about Bush will support him when they vote for Martinez. I think most Hispanics would like to have Martinez representing them and that will push him past Castor. Castor comes off very old and too loyal to the “party.” And she is in real trouble when she has to explain about how she handled the “terrorist professor” when she was the president of USF. She has been around in politics for over ten...

Our Three (Senate) Amigos (10/21/04 email sent to Club For Growth Members by CFG President Stephan Moore) As we write this, the presidential election and a half dozen Senate races appear headed to a photo finish. We’re working virtually 24/7 to make sure our candidates are victorious on November 2nd. I hope that you don’t mind if we continue to update you on the very highest priority races. These are the candidates who we think are shining stars AND are in desperate need of 11th hour donations because their races are so tight. The outcomes of these elections could decide...

[b]Brad Carson: A John Kerry Kind of Politician Regardless of the Issue, He's Voted For and Against Everything Tax Cuts[/b] Brad Carson has repeatedly voted against President Bush's tax cuts (Roll call vote #103, 4/18/2002; Roll call vote #182, 5/9/2003; and Roll call vote #225, 5/23/2003).

Gannett Fails One-Newspaper Communities/Counties- Port Huron Times Herald a Queue for Government Intervention? In particular, with today’s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I’ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties. There appears to be an immediate need to make certain legislation be brought requiring corporate newspapers to better report news and serving the communities they cover. At a crucial time with the 2004 Primary literally days away- this particular newspaper,...

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents. The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records. Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to...

I've seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I'm mostly using information from DC POLITICAL REPORT and POLITICS1. STATES Alabama DISTRICT 3 - The other Mike Rogers (R) won in 02 with 50.3% over Democrat Joe Turnham(48.2%) in an open seat. So far, it looks as he is facing Democrat Bill Fuller, Ex-State Human Resources Commissioner. I haven't heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest.

Senate Races to Watch 2004 South Dakota- I expect this one to be a barnburner. Thune is back and now there is a third party candidate (Tim Giago) that leans towards Daschle’s ideology. The Indian reservations in SD have been a haven for democratic votes and Tim Johnson owes his re-election to them. But now that an Indian candidate has applied to run, the Democrats are in trouble here. I expect Bush to visit often and the Republicans to put great effort into this race. The only thing that bothers me is the Janklow factor. He has done some damage...

Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday's Spanish elections. The "conventional wisdom" is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the "News Media's" thinking is neither conventional nor wise. What all the various activists miss is the reality of American Exceptionalism. As much as the International Political Left hates, and try's to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...

The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...

Vote.com has a vote on President Bush's current Ads. Please take a minute to vote here http://www.vote.com/vote/60212434/index.phtml

http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/6/121052.shtml Well isn't this intresting. The "objective news media" supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush's ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry's wife. Please take a moment and vist the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC etc to email the Omsbudsman, the Publisher, the News Editor and demand to know why they allowed clearly partisan advocates of Kerry's Presidential Campaign were presented on their "News" programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the "News Media" be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.

With all the leftist pro-Kerry "WTC widows" publically complaining about Bush's "WTC ads", I have to wonder if Clinton ever used any images from the OKC bombing in his '96 campaign? It would be interesting to find out if any OKC widows ever complained on the Today Show to the DNC demanding that those images or references be withdrawn?I do hope some skilled Freeper can research that and post the campaign ads for us.I would also hope that some WTC widows or firefighters, etc would go on tv and say that they are offended by McAulliffe and the DNC's using...

http://www.georgewbush.com/tvads/ Here is a link to the 1st three Bush Re-election ads. As expected the DNC directed its "Objective News Media" mouthpieces at CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC to generate phoney hysteria about these ads. Compared to the demogagery and lies spread by the Kerry Campaign, Moveon.org and the DNC about Bush for the last 6 months, this is probably the mildest sets of ads that have run so far this political season. Please email this link to every person on you email contact list. We need to get as many people as possible to see these ads. They are...

(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Democratic Congressman Brad Carson has more than $1-million in his war chest for the race to succeed Senator Don Nickles. Meanwhile, Republican Kirk Humphreys has raised more than 550-thousand dollars for the Senate race in just two months. Humphreys, former mayor of Oklahoma City, surpassed his goal of raising 400-thousand dollars by the end of the year. Humphreys' campaign manager, Josh Kivett, says that after expenses, Humphreys finished the year with about $425,000 in the bank. Carson had $342,000 in his House re-election account before Nickles announced his retirement in October. Humphreys has received fund-raising help from...

Two powerful Oklahoma Republicans endorsed former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys in the U.S. Senate race Tuesday but denied that their support was intended to anoint a Republican candidate. "I would expect there's going to be a primary on each side," said U.S. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Norman. "There certainly ought to be one on the Democratic side. There certainly ought to be one on the Republican side." Cole and former U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Norman, announced their support Tuesday for Humphreys in the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Don Nickles, R-Ponca City. Other prominent Oklahoma Republicans who have endorsed...

A pre-emptive strike drove the crowd inside, but it didn’t seem to dampen the mood as Oklahoma Congressman - and former University of Oklahoma football star - J.C. Watts visited Columbia yesterday to boost the Senate campaign of Jim Talent. Only hours before the football Tigers kicked off against OU, Watts gave an impassioned speech on behalf of Talent, a former House member from St. Louis County who is locked in a tight battle with incumbent Democrat Jean Carnahan. Saying the Missouri race is probably the most important Senate battle in the country, Watts cited bills that have passed in...

Inhofe Poll Shows A Big Advantage Sen. James Inhofe (R) holds a comfortable 24-point lead over former Gov.David Walters (D), according to a new poll done for the Republican. Inhofe led 55 percent to 31 percent in the Cole Hargrave Snodgrass & Associates survey, which was conducted Sept. 18-19. Testing 500 registered voters, the poll has a 4.3 percent margin of error. Perhaps more telling than the head-to-head matchup was that 35 percent of those polled were favorably inclined to Walters, while 48 percent thought of him unfavorably. Walters pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in 1993 for accepting campaign contributions...

Democrats Look For Upset in 1st New independent polling in Utah's Congressional races had good news for Democrats, as it showed Rep. Jim Matheson (D) with a commanding lead in the 2nd district and advertising executive Dave Thomas (D) within striking distance in the Republican-leaning 1st district. The statewide poll, conducted by Salt Lake City-based Valley Research Inc. for the Salt Lake Tribune, tested each of the state's three House races. In the 2nd district, which was made more Republican in the redistricting process, Matheson led state Rep. John Swallow (R) 49 percent to 20 percent. After respondents were told...

Judge hands down congressional redistricting plan 2002-05-28 By The Associated Press A state district judge imposed a congressional redistricting plan Tuesday that was drawn for Republican Gov. Frank Keating and is favored by the state's Republican incumbent congressmen. Oklahoma County Judge Vicki Robertson said the governor's plan splits fewer counties and municipalities than other proposals submitted by the Democrat-controlled Legislature and rates highest in continuity, the number of voters each district would retain from the previous configuration. "No redistricting plan is perfect," Robertson said as she handed down her ruling in a crowded courtroom. "There is some inefficiency in any...

Keating, Democrats agree on redistricting 2002-05-08 By John Greiner The Oklahoman The governor and Democratic legislative leaders have a tentative agreement on a congressional redistricting plan that would pit two Republican congressmen against each other, some Republican state senators said Tuesday. The plan would create a new 4th Congressional District that would put Republican U.S. Reps. J.C. Watts of Norman and Ernest J. Istook of Warr Acres in the same district, the GOP senators said. The new 4th District would combine Cleveland County with a major part of Oklahoma County south of Memorial Road. The plan also has a new...
