Free Republic

The Democrats running Reclaim Idaho and their supporters are pushing a voter initiative which they are deceptively calling the “Open Primary Initiative” and falsely claiming that “Leaders are handpicked by political party committees” and that somehow Idahoans do not have the freedom to vote in all elections. These ridiculous claims are easily disproven with a tiny bit of rational thinking. Initiatives allow the citizens to pass laws directly without going through the legislative process. It starts with submitting the proposed initiative language to the SOS for review. Then the proponents must gather signatures from 6% of the voters in at...

If you want to participate in the various primaries and sow discord amongst the 'Rats, perhaps the best way to do it is not to vote for Bernie and Butthead, but rather to register as a Democrat (if required) and write in Donald Trump. Get all your friends to do it, get all the Trump Democrats to do it, spread the word on social media. If Donald Trump can get more votes in the Dem primary than some of the actual Dem candidates, even in just a state or two, the Dems will totally lose it. They'll be so busy...

Elections are less than 9 days away. We hear about "ALL" the races except one..... WHY? President Trump is campaigning all over the country except xxxxxx? Why? In June President Trump made us a promise. What was it? Freepers its time for us to wake up and start ring the bells. Most, I guess, consider California election races a lost cause and California is a BLUE SWAMP. There is no changing it. California has plenty of Illegal registered voters and plenty of buses to transport them from polling place to polling place. But, my experience shows me something different. California...

Is the latimes getting worried that a Republican or 2 might win in Calfornia?

If the California primary election seems a little crowded on June 5, it’s not by accident. California is one of three states that employ an election process known as the “jungle primary” that leaves the top two vote getters, regardless of political party, facing off in runoff elections in November. That means in theory a Democrat could compete against another Democrat, or a Republican could compete against another Republican instead of having the top vote getter in each party’s primary advancing.

Two of California’s best-known Democrats are slipping in the polls as the calendar advances closer to Election Day. In fact, both Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein have only single-digit leads over their opponents, the results show. In the race for governor, a Probolsky Research poll, conducted between Aug. 29-Sept. 2, shows Newsom leading Republican businessman John Cox by a mere 5 points, with 17 percent of respondents undecided, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Feinstein faces similar problems, with the poll showing her with only an 8-point advantage over progressive challenger Kevin de León. A quarter of...

Breaux's Retirement Could Mean GOP Pickup by John Gizzi Posted Dec 22, 2003 Alone among the 13 states of the Confederacy, Louisiana has never elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate. But with three-term Democratic Sen. John Breaux announcing his retirement last week, Republican operatives in the state are confident they have a good chance to change that. Louisiana will now be a major focus for Republicans in the 2004 Senate races. Breaux’s retirement, along with the retirement of other Democratic senators in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, gives the party an excellent opportunity to pick up as...
