Free Republic

More intriguing to me than the story behind an unhinged Muslin is how in the hell a General could stand before America and deal out so much misinformation – there was only one shooter who had two pistols, he was shot dead and the person who shot the shooter was also shot dead. Now I know why so many of our young are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our Generals don’t know their asses from their elbows. One would expect miss information from civilians, but hearing it from seasoned military people who are very accustomed to battle is amazing. When...

DO IT! Now is the time. Any opinions!?

Huckabee cannot win in 2012 for many reasons, but one reason stands out above all others. Huckabee simply cannot appeal to voters outside of his Evangelical base. In a national election he would be a certain loser. Romney also has many reasons he cannot win, but one really stands out. ROMNEYCARE. One of the biggest, if not the biggest weapons the Republicans are going to have in 2012 is going to be the attempt of the democrats to push through OBAMACARE. Republicans will be able to draw a stark contrast between them and the democrats over health care. Unless of...

Nasty Debbie Schlussel hates Sarah Palin, ~ refering to her as vapid, and her 18 year old daughter as "slutty". Deb complains about hate mail she gets, but Ms Schlussel has been very hateful in her diatribes. She is intolerant of any criticism, of which she will interpret as threats- I don't just mean the obvious retorts she get as her website. She has turned on fellow conservatives(such as at FoxNews), she is now scathing against Ann Coulter for defending Sarah Palin! Deborah Schlussel should be boycotted!

Start with finger keyboards, Soft stuff. Democrat stinky style, then, unleassh:Deep Purple.Smoke on the Water.

Wondering how all the anti-Republican "I'm not gonna vote for McCain" folks think about about what they got? What do these same . . . true believers . . . believe is in store for us during the mid-term elections?

I am getting tired of seeing daily threads about Meghan McCain almost daily on FR. I don't watch network TV, and honestly never heard of her until several weeks ago. Could we just quit posting about her already, unless there is TRULY a news article that concerns her?????

It seems like Nancy Pelosi and the democraps (the ones who are now calling for Unity and Togetherness) could never talk about W without refering to this as "the failed Bush administration"

We should all sign an online petition and or write the Feds and let them know that we thank them for having the moral fortitude and courage to go after this Chicago thuggery. It takes some big balls to go after high ranking officials, especially ones that come out of Chicago which is known for its Mafia style politics.

I'm curious, what does a Supreme Court justice do during the day? I'm sure it's very cerebral, maybe something like scrabble at $1,000 a point? I don't even know what they make for a salary per year but it is surely more than most of us regular working people earn. SO... Here is a serious constitutional question before the court and they punt it because, what?, It wasn't phrased right?, It wasn't on the proper form? I thought that the SCOTUS was supposed to be independent of the other branches for just this sort of deliberation. OH WELL.

No matter what the Justices at the SCOTUS decide today about the many law suites over if Obama’s is a natural born citizen there is something we can do to make sure he doesn’t run again and that this never happens again, let’s work to get election laws passed in our states which require proof of legal citizenship for anyone who’s is submitted for inclusion on an ballot and then add a stipulation that candidates submitted for the offices of President and Vice-President be required to submit a vaulted certified birth certificate to establish that they meet the age and...

Just got back from the 'family feast'.

Freepers, what do you think? Is this the only way we'll cure the greedy, ignorant, stupid, and lazy Washington culture? If this is our last recourse, then I'm going to prepare. I'm buying my assault rifle next month, and I'm going to buy my money chest next year. I'll take all my income and put it in my chest and hunker down and pray. This AFL-CIO article in the Washington Times is another problem. The Eclair thugs are going to try to intimidate ALL of us to join unions, even small businesses. You won't get a contract to do any...

Could Nancy Pelosi be our next President? The news seems to indicate that there is a problem with Obama’s birth certificate and some states are talking about holding their electoral votes. If this becomes the case I see several possibilities and am asking for your feedback. 1. The States where Obama won withhold their electoral college votes and McCain wins by default. 2. Because of the ciaos of Obama not being a citizen there is a delay in deciding what to do, on January 20 2009 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the house and third in line become the President. 3....

A special thank you to Noonan, Gerorge Will, Ron Paul, et al. Thank you fools! Thanks for putting us all in danger now from terrorists and the real suppression of conservatism. The Fairness doctrine is coming. Rampant oppression is coming. Taxes being raised is coming. Yes, the ship is now goign to be sinking for good. Obama, Reid and Pelosi will be controlling the direction of this country.

I am in a predominantly GOP area...early voters are out in droves and most are blacks. Schools here are on a two hour delay so teachers can vote... But they get off work by three anyway..so why a delay? I hate politics.

Another Worthless Vanity I know.. I work Nights, so I'll wake up, Download the Rush Podcast, and then Listen to it. I finish work up at 6:30 am Cst, so plenty of time to get to the Polls. One of my favorite things Rush does is the Tomorrow we meet at Dawn bit. None of the polls matter, none of the pundits mean sht, lie to the exist polsters, the real test is the Fight at the ballot box.You get out there and make the other poor b-stard lose the election! Like the Great One says, We have Men and...

I missed her call as we were out for dinner. She called @ 6:00 pm cst, left a message. Told me to tremind everyone to vote. Her message stays on my answering machine forever.

I did a Google Search on the Hillary\Obama Polls and actual results:. The polls seem to be biased towards Obama. I imagine they still are. RCP Ohio Poll (Hillary +7) week before Actual Ohio Results (Hillary + 10) Pennsylvania Rassmusen Poll (Hillary +5)April 21 Actual Election results (Hillary +10) April 23

I think it's pretty obvious that the MSM is NOT serving ALL American voters in this election-and has not for a very long time. Also... I work at a survey research center, and I can tell you that even if the MSM was scrupulously unbiased in its presentation of survey results, it would not matter. The surveys themselves are utterly skewed and the data is worthless. This country conducted elections before the age of 24/7 television hype so I say... return to THAT scenario. We don't need to be perpetually deluged with eroneous data in order to make up our...

Folks, while I still hold out hope, the battle looks quite difficult.

Freepers.....what haven't we seen this campaign season....dirty primaries.....hilary being dethroned?McCain beating out all comers?Biden?....I mean, Joe Biden?.....but then, blessed relief, Sarah Palin....what an utterly joyful and clever and SMART VP pick.... but then the baby questions, and the grandmother questions, and did Sarah MAKE her baby have Downs' syndrome by flying in an airplane, and what kind of mother lets her 17 yro get pregnant, and her hubby got a dwi 20 yrs ago, oh my..and the experience question....the haughty and dishonest and evil media...the absolute total pass given to anything said or done by hussein...or biden...and of course the...

So you dumped my post on baseball players being wimps. But the article had more to do with baseball than just the fact that they cry about the rain and their little outfits get wet. It also had to do with fans and taxpayers. Do you oppose those groups also? Where did my original post go? Or do you just dump what you do not agree with? You would not be perhaps fans of one of the two teams playing?

These over paid baseball players are wimps. They spend their lives playing baseball, living in gyms, probably using drugs and chasing underage girls, but cannot play in the rain? What a bunch of wimps!The boys of summer may be light in the boots. Their ancestors rode and walked across this nation in all sorts of weather, but not these whining over stuffed shirts. No, it is raining and I am cold, so tell the 60,000 fans to wait or come back later. Baseball has looted many cities in this nation for new stadiums. Have you ever considered what you do...

A lot is often said about how Voter Turnout affects the election. But few people actually grasp what that means to US AS REPUBLICANS. It is as simple as this- In EVERY election, Democrap turnout is relatively constant. So, it is the increase or decrease in Republican turnout that CONTROLS every election. Forget the polls, they are designed to drive down Republican turnout FOR THIS REASON.

Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Senator Joe Biden (Democrat-Del.) continued his war of words with assorted Catholic bishops as he reiterated his contention that Church doctrine on abortion is not a settled issue. “The pro-choice/pro-life debate in the Catholic Church has been going on for nearly 2,000 years,” Biden contended. “It’s not as simplistic as these bishops are saying.” Biden alleged that former “Pope John XXIII was kind of a pro-choice guy. I’m with him on this issue.” The VP nominee said he is looking forward to “President Obama naming and the Senate approving some pro-choice candidates for future bishopric openings in...

CBS showed the movie "Cinderella Man" at 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 25, 2008, and around 9:15 p.m., the movie showed taking the Lord's name in vein, and the Holy family, several times. This is inappropriate and should be illegal on the public's free airways. CBS could have easily cut that from what we thought was a family movie.

If I'm wrong I'll eat any and all crow. :) 1. Riots in major metro cities and some small towns. They subside after the President calls on Obama to release a statement asking for it to stop. 2. The MSM to immediately begin broadcasting "Race", "Voter Fraud" etc.... 3. The MSM to backtrack and remind us all why they knew this would happen. 4. The Dem's in congress will attempt to push through as many new laws into effect as possible prior to Februrary. Most will fail because many Dem's fear losing their seat more than siding with the remnants...

I know Beck comes on the radio at different times, but I just listened to his show...He was talking to Peter Schiff(sp?) about the economy, and pissin and moaning both of them about "whats coming". Beck has been on a tear about the economy, about husseins radicalism, husseins islamists friends, husseins wanting to tax more and more people into oblivion, husseins dangerous terrorist friends, etc etc.... he had the arrogance today to say he hadn't made up his mind about who to vote for.... he thinks that it might be a good idea to have hussein get elected so we...

Anyone else here going?

I ran across this scripture this morning and it may have said more than all of these articles and opinion columns put together. “My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those given to CHANGE; For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin those two can bring?” – Proverbs 24:21-22

Not me.

We have all seen it before. A candidate with a thin resume actively sought out, feted and promoted, not because of impressive accomplishments, not because they are the best that can be found, but because of the color of their skin. A candidate that meets the minimum standards, but more importantly, meets the "politically correct" standards. Will Barrack Obama be the first Affirmative Action President?

Good series of polling news today!!: 1.) AP poll shows McCain down only 1%, despite Democrat edge in party ID. 2.) GWU/Battleground Poll has McCain down only 2% - the poll assuming dominance by young voters in November. 3.) F&M/Hearst-Argyle Poll shows McCain down only 5% - with a massive 10% turnout gap assumed for Democrats. 4.) Gallup closing - even with the enormous Sunday numbers for Obama. 5.) Hotline - McCain within 5%. 6.) Rasmussen Reports - McCain STILL down less than the INSANE turnout ID gap of 6.7%, with massive Obama Sunday still included. 7.) Today's Morning Call...

I am sorry if this sounds hard. However, this would not be an unusual ploy for sympathy this team of socialists. Both have used EXTREMELY radical statements about family for political gain in the past. That is a simple fact. I have read the following here and feel I should respond: "Ever had a parent or grandparent seriously ill? Do you really think you’d be thinking about how their illness would be good for your career? This is one area - illness of an opposing candidate’s relative, that should be off limits." Did you ever hear Joe Biden trying to...

I apologize to all readers for a stupid and inappropriate posting. It got my privileges revoked for a week. It will not happen again. Now, my thought. I watched most of the debate on Wednesday, until it frankly got boring. McCain seems to understand the anger and frustration. Bob Scheiffer almost got it when he asked about cutting spending and reducing the deficit. Neither McCain nor Obama gave a convincing answer. What we need - before Election Day - is an "I'm p!$$ed off" Day. Everybody is p!$$ed off about something or another. Let's channel it into a no work,...

McCain needs to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Obama never took a vote, never took a stand when it mattered. I have always taken a stand when it mattered."

If Obama wins then we have effectively turned control of our national defenses over to Code Pink. Our national treasury over to the Chicago mob. Our justice department to the Rainbow Coalition. Control of our elections to ACORN. Our national ministry of propaganda to HuffingtonPost, DailyKos and MoveOn (which admittedly would be an improvement over CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/NYT/WP/AP, et al). The IRS to Charlie Rangel. Banking/Finance to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Housing to Tony Rezco. The new Global Warming Department to Al Gore. The State Department to Clinton, Inc. Education to NOW. The selection of our judges to the ACLU. Homeland...

I thought we had money parity. Is this not the case?

Here's a thought. Take a day off from Free Republic in the next couple of weeks and spend it posting comments and replys on the MSM web-sites. I'd recommend the TV and newspaper sites that you think most independents will read. I try to take a little time out every day to leave a couple posts with links to stories the MSM refuses to cover. Anyway a lot-of-little goes a long way.

I don't normally post threads - but I had to get this off my chest. The doom and gloom on this board lately has been getting me down. It doesn’t look good for the Republicans at the moment, but all is not completely lost. On the bright side: 1. We know that the nationally reported polls are biased in Obama’s favor. Some of them are reporting Obama leading by huge margins. We know that this is not true. Obama is leading, but by a few percentage points only. Fact is that every presidential election is exactly the same – roughly...

Mr. President, please disband the following organizations in case Obama is elected: *The Dept. of Homeland SecurityReason: Obama could use this and it's apparatus to set up his gestapo, er, civilian security force.

The guy who wrote this is listed at the bottom. I guess he knows what it's all about. He can be called and asked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Beware the 'enemy from within'! From a friend of a friend: This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since then. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my wife crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get...

The GOP could use every attention getting step in the book and it would not be enough on how much the DNC is dirty with people who rig elections in their favor. A Freeper here could easily come up with a new symbol for the DNC, it would be a Donkey with a squirrel riding on its back and the squirrel could be holding a huge sack of ACORNS representing all of its illegal votes to help Obama. Yeah...it hokey, but its also accurate.

Let's give the banks more $$$$$$$$!

In this critical election year, when it comes to all of the following issues regarding his campaign, associations, and history: His realtionship with the unrepentant domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers His relationship with the hate filled, black liberationist, Jeremiah Wright His relationship with the convicted felon, corrupt financier, Tony Rezko His involvement with ACORN which is directly tied to massive voter fraud and the economic crisis His vote against the Born Alive Infant Act in Illinois His tax plan His stance on Gun Control His stance on Iraq His stance and statments on Afghanistan His religious persuasion as a youth His...

I counted Odingagate, foreignmoneygate, Acornvotegate, foulweatherfriendsgate or Ayersgate, Rezkomoneygate, Pseudo-citizengate, Aidandabetenemiesgate, Socialistnewpartygate, RevWrightgate, what else? Looks more and more likely all these will snowball into a Huge Dark Cloud over Obama by Election day! We the People, may not have big bucks, celebrity status, but we shall arise and use the weapons of emails, faxes and blogs, to do what the liberal mainstream media has failed to do! I realize I have been neglecting my work and sleep, but it's a small price to contribute a little towards the awakening of the brainwashed and brain dead American voters! I sense...

Here, point by point, is why this is the most powerful argument against Obama that we cna use. - Obama chose to spent more time (6 days) in Kenya campaigning for his 'cousin" Odinga than he spent fact-finding in Iraq and Afghanistan - Obama chose to support a candidate who was an avowed Communist - Obama chose to support a candidate who backed imposition of Sharia law in a country that was over 80% Christian - Obama chose to support a candidate (Odinga) who supported minority Islamists who opposed the Kenya's support of the War on Terror - Obama chose...

What in the world hasn't Obama lied about? Including where he was born and how he got his political push, who he associated with and who influenced him, what he believes in and what religion he really is, what his real tax plan intentions are, what he stands for, if he's for Israel or not, what he voted for or against, if he's black or white, likes girls or boys... Seriously, WHO IS THIS GUY? SERIOUSLY. GIVE ME ONE FACTUAL PARAGRAPH THAT ACCURATELY AND TRUTHFULLY DESCRIBES WHO THIS GUY IS. Bueller? Anyone? True he's been running for President for 20...
