Clockwork is a set programmed job. It requires you to know the gears, the springs and how it all goes together. It is a demanding job, requiring skill and a certain affinity for the job to be able to do it well. It is also a good analogy to the MSM/RNC/DNC attempts to STOP PALIN. If you notice, after every “homerun"/"good news cycle" of Gov Palin's, the clock workers in the MSM/RNC/DNC bend to their tasks of STOPPING PALIN. It doesn’t matter what type of homerun Palin accomplished. It could be a speech like last Saturday’s or a great interview...

In an historic event today, the United States elected its first illegitimate President. The President-elect, whose parents were never legally married (and whose father abandoned the poor strumpet and her child when his son was only an infant), sets a glorious example to the youth of the world. Shack-up, cohabitate, whatever – it does not matter. Any children you produce, no matter whether you are married or not, can now dream of becoming President. The stigma is now eradicated.All those women who once hid behind a scarlet letter can now proclaim that their marital status – or lack thereof –...

There has been ample discussion about whether and under what conditions an autop*y will be performed upon Terri. Putting aside the hopelessnness and resignation implicit in having reached this point in Terri's story, one important fact needs to be understood by those Freepers who are expecting that the procedure will provide damning details about Michael Schiavo. First, understand that Michael (ever the sociopath that he is) is expecting that vindication, not condemnation, will follow the results. And understand that he has reason to expect this. Here's why: at the level of gross anatomical observation, Terri's brain will show significant, massive...

Condemned prisoners have a better chance than Terri Schiavo. Look at it this way - if TS were a condemned prisoner, and affidavits were received from multiple "sources", wouldn't the ACLU, the media, etc. be ALL OVER the matter? TS doesn't have stool pigeons, fellow prisoners, or "sources" on her side - she has professionals of many stripes, who don't know each other, who have lost, or who are/were in danger of losing their livelihood for saying nothing more than the truth. What does a jail mate have to lose? NOTHING. Yet, in this circumstance we have everyday people putting...

John Kerry is degrading and demoralizing our militaries brave men and women. Those who support Freedom and Liberty are being blamed for leaving phantom weapons in an ammo dump. Our best generals and soldiers say the weapons were not there when we got there and yet Kerry continues to say that they were and that our troops failed to secure the weapons. He has called our Military incompetent. What is next anti-war protesters spitting on our troops when they return from Iraq? Those that support our country and fight brave battles every day to kill the terrorists in Iraq so...

All it takes to give the election to Kerry is a 2-3% swing. We are now seeing that swing in the polls. All the Bush campaign has to do is show the chain of custody over Al Qa-Qaa from when the 101st was there until the Weapons Search Team arrived a month later, when the explosives were definitely not there. I presume we did not leave Al Qa-Qaa completely unguarded in that month. To date, the Bush campaign has relied on the NBC report, which was later retracted. We NEED hard evidence that the explosives were not taken from Al...

How is everyone feeling about the election? I am confident for two reasons. 1. Most electoral-projection maps have Bush winning. Taking averages is better than looking at just one poll, electoral map, etc... 2. Bush has solid leads in most of his red states whereas Kerry is in serious danger of loosing several of Gore's blue states (NM, IA, WI, MN, MI, PA, HI).

Nov. 3, 2004: Vietnam vets - finally, you heroes have come home You were spit on. You were called war criminals. You were called baby killers. You served your country and came home to abuse and to be shunned by your countrymen. Many never came home at all. There were lost limbs, broken lives, broken families, alcoholism, drugs, homelessness, despair, and even suicide. You could not understand why you were so hated. There was no parade welcoming you home. There was nobody to offer you their seat on a full airplane. There was no one wanting to shake your hand...

The election of 2004 is much more than the election of the next President of the United States. It is the message we, the American People, are sending the world. It reflects the will, heart, and determination of our collective souls. The result will give an unequivocal signal to those who wish us harm, and to those who stand passively on the sideline of this war on terror. It will show the cloth of which we are made! A close, contested, fractious result will embolden our enemies, weaken the support of the already weak, and give pause to those who...

John Kerry has stated that he would bring his faith with him into the oval office.the obvious question is: the faith in what? He doesn't say God. could it be the faith in partial birth abortion?Racial Quotas?High taxation except for Teresa?Disparaging our proud troops?Extreme environmental regulation?Gas guzzling SUVs and airplanes except for you and me?Mr. Kerry, exactly what is it you have faith in? Because it sure as sh*t ain't God.

Keep the familys out of Politics. Kerry's comment about the VP's daughter was uncalled for and frankly it showed bad character on his part. Now we have Teresa Heinz Kerry making unkind comments about Laura Bush. It is noteworthy however, that both Kerry and his wifes apologies were worse then their original comments. In Kerry's case he said " I was trying to say something positive about how familys deal with this issue" FALSE the question and his initial comment had nothing to do with how familys deal with the issue. Kerry's apology seemed more like it was reflective of...

The barrage of polls and data that has been thrown at us this election season has been both overwhelming and bewildering to stay current with. However, deep in the annals of these polls, sometimes a golden ticket of understanding and promise emerges. For the past weeks, Big Media has been harping about the polling data in other countries about our election. They were bursting at the seems to release the startling information that the "enlightened" European countries were in the tank for Kerry. With confident posture, they reported that out of all the countries polled, the proverbial score was 27-3...

I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head so I'll know how to vote. Right now, we have one guy saying one thing. Then the other guy says something else. > >Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good... > >Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad... > >Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good... > >Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad... > >Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good... > >Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad... > >Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf...

Senator Kerry your internals are sinking!!! Kerry dips below 40! GW up to 61!!!! BUSH 61.0 +2.5 KERRY 39.6 -1.6

This is, I think, my first ever vanity post. I flew on a plane last night with a well-respected national political analyst, one that most Freepers would probably agree is straight down the line (I've followed his opinions for years and really don't know what his voting affiliation is). He told me, off the record, that this race is a complete toss up right now. His words, more or less, were "I'm a betting man, but right now I wouldn't bet $5 on the winner either way." His analysis is that Bush is pulling ahead in the popular vote, but...

SEEMS LIKE IT - - Over the summer we all have heard of pending October suprises. First we had RUSH, dropping hints at the end of his programs say something to the effect: Let not your heart be troubled, referring to October. Then we had Hannity and Swiftvets stating similar thoughts. Well it is Oct 20th, and I have neighbors saying they are still on the fence on whom to vote for. I have made the foolish mistake of telling them wait your going to probably see KERRY exposed (based on things i've heard here and on the air). The...

OK... I'm sure you've all heard by now, the Big "C" will be going out to do 'some stumping' for "Hanoi John". Maybe that's their (DNC) Oct surprise! They are desparate in every turn... maybe they think all their scare tactics are just not working to the fullest. You know, they really do think we must all be [REALLY] stupid?

Add Idea: "Why we fight" - Camera cuts in to sailor loading bombs on F-18 on an Aircraft Carrier. She says "We fight to defend Liberty and Freedom... - Camera cuts in to Airforce piolt in F-15.

I was watching Hannity and Colmes tonight. Morris was saying something about the liberals doing something that was not very flattering to the dems and Colmes deliberately cut him off and went to a commercial. I'm going to be emailing Fox News and voicing my displeasure.
