Free Republic

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the man. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and...

In the ad where McCain says he's not Bush, he also says he's voted 90% with him, but I am either seing things or that ad is doctored. There is a lapse of some kind there between the 90 and the %...

I think this is an election like no other, so why aren't more people ruling out the idea of McCain pulling off an upset in a couple of blue states? People weren't wearing John Kerry and Al Gore t-shirts during the last two elections. Their supporters didn't wear Gore or Kerry t-shirts or faint during speeches. Obama is revered in a way that no Presidential Candidate has been. Any McCain supporter or undecided voter knows it's "uncool" to not be for Obama. He's Elvis. He's the Beatles. Admitting you're not for "cool" Obama would be like admitting you didn't see...

This is one of the few times I've ever done a vanity post since being a member of Free Republic. Will you help us pass proposition 8 in Calif so that legal marriage will only be between a man and a women in Calif? We need your donations. The opposition has the support of the media, the teachers unions, millionaire celebrities, many major corporations, etc. We have an uphill battle. During this last week, we on the side of YES for proposition 8 need to raise more money to buy air time for our commercials or they will get buried...

Is there any metropolitan area in a swing state that is more McCain friendly Jacksonville, Florida? Charlotte, North Carolina? St. Louis, Missouri? In 2004, in Duval County, which shares the same borders as Jacksonville, voted Bush over Kerry at a 58% to 42% margin. I believe the margin could be greater for McCain this year. I just drove two miles from my sister's house and counted 28 McCain/Palin signs and 0 for "that One."

The Presidential Election of 2008 will mark the end of the Eastern wing of the Republican Party. The Eastern wing of the Republican Party has dominated the party since the founding of the GOP in the mid 1800s. However, since the 1960s the power base of the Republican Party has shifted West and South. This has left an increasingly orphaned Eastern wing of the Republican Party. They have had a mild resurgence in the mid 1990s when a swathe of North Eastern states including (incredibly!) Massachusetts fell under Republican Governorships. However in the last 8 years, state after state in...

They thought they were getting hammered with calls before-wait until tomorrow. We need to know who helped right this decision. I am thinking that suppressing fax sender information through the courts is against the law. Very sloppy indeed. I want to know who contributed to this decision and why the information was left off the fax header. Apparently whoever did this, was too stupid to remove the time stamp.

This week will mark the destiny and future of our country. In fact, this is to be a week set apart for fasting and prayer. On Wednesday October 29, a worldwide time for intercession and prayer has been declared. We will repent of our love of money that has taken the place of being a god to us. We will also declare and decree what the word of God says regarding our future. We must ask God for intervention in our economy and for the stabilization of the economies of the world. We must act on the words spoken in...

I am under the impression from previous readings of the Bible ... that there is a verse that states that whoever is in a place of authority was choosen by God to be in that office. In looking over the scriptures I have not found it. Romans 13:1-4, Hebrews 13;17. 1TIMOTHY 2:2, do not seem right.

I early voted in NC today, and was not asked for my ID. I was asked my name, and my current address and nothing else. I admit I don't know the law, but the information I gave at the polling place could have been taken from the phone book. Anyone else voted in NC? What was your experience?

Has Obama lowered his tax cut plan to those who make up to $200,000 instead of $250,000? I just saw a commercial here in Colorado where Obama said that those who make $200,000 or less would get a tax cut.

I was reading the African Press message board and message #574 states: Cablenet guy Says: October 26, 2008 at 11:16 pm Cloud "I’m the the poor sap who babysits all the cable channels at the regional cable provider in my county. I sit in a control room and make sure everything is running smoothly for all 500 channels during the Saturday and Sunday 3p to 11p shift. Any time a schedule change comes in on one of the cable channels an advisory is issued ussually a few hours prior. I have received 4 advisories from the cable news networks (Fox,...

This is my first post to FR so I'l keep it short and sweet! What is Biden talking about? “Mark my words, an unknown major crisis in the world within 6 months of the next President taking office”. And that if it’s Obama, “We need to support him without question and urge others, (with pressure), to support him in whatever he decides to do to handle the unknown situation”. Those statements are from Biden’s speech at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma on Sunday. It’s the beginning of propagandizing for a leftist/socialist government. I’ll tell you, if that’s what’s in the near...

The right to property and to the fruits of one's labor is not some privilege dreamed up by the wealthy elite in America to keep others oppressed. It is one of the founding principles of our nation. It serves as the great motivator that keeps the wheels of the economy turning, and is the promise that gives many the will to endure another day's rounds. People who have attained the American dream (now, apparently, anything above the arbitrarily chosen $250,000 sticker price) have done so, almost without exception, through their own ingenuity and industriousness. Or, perhaps, they have inherited their...

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.

Just got off the phone with my sister who lives in NH, the discussion turns to politics and she indicates that she's leaning towards "The One". She listed health care as her primary concern, she's been bombarded with literature essentially telling her that people with pre-existing conditions will be screwed under McCains plan. I told her she should do some more research before settling on a candidate and told her that I'd send her some links. She is skeptical of what I'll send her because she knows I'm a Conservative, any suggestions as to where she should be researching?

I just made some calls in support of McCain/Palin. I've never done this before. It is really easy. Go to JohnMcCain.com, go to Action, and make phone calls. They'll supply the numbers and the script! They need every effort they can get. Remember, Obama is paying people to do this...

Post your thoughts here regarding TV news bias on Election Night. It was bad enough in 2000 and got worse in 2004. This time, the TV networks will mount a lovefest to the One!

Hey All: It's not too early to prepare for election night follies at the news networks. Tell your family, friends, and neighbors to pay no attention to any broadcast news until they have voted (for McCain/Palin of course). Even if the networks proclaim a Nobama landslide, do not become discouraged, do not walk away from the voting booth! To refresh your memory, here's a brief history of the Florida panhandle swindle of 2000: The networks called Florida for Gore early in the evening on election day - before polls had closed in the Florida panhandle, which is part of the...

All day Fox news Radio has been using a poll from Newsweek of REGISTERED VOTERS showing O'Bammer with a 13 point lead, any Ideas?
