<title>72 Hour Program Activated In RI (GOP trying to bail out RINO Chafee)</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1691899/posts</link>
<description>72 Hour Program Activated In RI.... Democrats were right in 2004: the Republicans have adopted a draft. It only applies, however, to party workers employed by state victory committees in the east of the Mississippi. For many it will be worse than boot camp. They are to be sent to Rhode Island to try to rescue Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee&#x26;#x92;s re-election campaign in the September 12th primary. Workers start arriving Friday and will be charged with sorting out the mess that Washington operatives believe is the Chafee campaign. First task may be to get Republican voters to forget Chafee&#x26;#x92;s erratic...</description>

<title>NRSC Launches Negative Ad Campaign Against GOP Senate Candidate Stephen Laffey In RI</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1497085/posts</link>
<description>The NRSC quickly waded into US Senator Linc Chafee&#x26;#x27;s 2006 re-election race. The party organization is already running harsh TV spots in the state attacking investment banker and Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey, Chafee&#x26;#x27;s conservative GOP primary opponent. The commercials try to tie Laffey to the unpopular oil industry and high gas prices, blasting Laffey for having previously run &#x26;#x22;a company selling oil industry stocks on Wall Street. Profiting from offshore oil drilling. The oil companies made a fortune. Steve Laffey made a fortune.&#x26;#x22;</description>

<title>Patches Kennedy, a glazed doughnut and bee stings</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1235155/posts</link>
<description>PORTSMOUTH -- The congressman was at a graveyard in the woods with wet shoes and a glazed doughnut when the bees attacked. It had been U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy&#x26;#x27;s idea to interrupt a newspaper interview last week to show off the 200-year-old historic cemetery next to his home in Portsmouth. Impulsively, he set out in business clothes across the sopping wet grass early in the morning, leading the way through bushes, under branches and over the scattered, jagged pieces of a fallen stone wall, carrying his breakfast doughnut on a napkin. The yellow jackets apparently went first for Kennedy&#x26;#x27;s...</description>

In particular, with today&#x26;#x92;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&#x26;#x92;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.

<title>The most taxpayer-unfriendly members of congress</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1147193/posts</link>
<description>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...</description>

<description>I&#x26;#x27;ve seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I&#x26;#x27;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&#x26;#x27;t heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest. Alaska SENATE - Lisa Murkowski(R) vs Ex governor Tony Knowles. This will be a tough race as Knowles is an ex-governor and Murkowski...</description>

<title>Why Spanish Election results are irrelevent to US War on Terror</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1097985/posts</link>
<description>Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday&#x26;#x27;s Spanish elections. The &#x26;#x22;conventional wisdom&#x26;#x22; is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the &#x26;#x22;News Media&#x26;#x27;s&#x26;#x22; 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&#x26;#x27;s to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...</description>

<title>Democrat Primary turnout not a even close to being a record</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1094377/posts</link>
<description>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...</description>

The &#x26;#x22;objective news media&#x26;#x22; supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush&#x26;#x27;s ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry&#x26;#x27;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&#x26;#x27;s Presidential Campaign were presented on their &#x26;#x22;News&#x26;#x22; programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the &#x26;#x22;News Media&#x26;#x22; be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.</description>

As expected the DNC directed its &#x26;#x22;Objective News Media&#x26;#x22; 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...</description>
