Free Republic

VIDEOYou know right from the start that a caller to a radio show is a seminar caller when they start off identifying themselves as a "lifelong" Republican or that they have been a Republican all their life. One such caller was hilariously exposed by Steve Kane and his co-host Brian Craig on the Steve Kane Radio show on September 24, 2021.This clip is yet another example of why the Steve Kane Radio Show is the longest running radio show (44+ years) of any kind in the state of Florida. BTW, you don't have to live in South Florida to listen...

The man suspected of killing 11 people during a baby-naming ceremony at a US synagogue has been named and pictured by US media. Robert Bowers reportedly burst into the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in Pittsburgh carrying multiple weapons before unleashing bullets on terrified worshippers. Bowers, in his 40s, also reportedly yelled 'all Jews must die' and was shouting antisemitism statements. It is believed he acted alone. He is in hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. It's not clear if he was shot by police or the wounds were self-inflicted. A Pittsburgh City official told a news conference 'the scene is...

In the aftermath of the attempted murder of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords earlier this month, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have proposed a cluster of gun control measures ranging from a ban to knowingly carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of certain high-profile government officials to a proposal to allow members of Congress to carry firearms in the U.S. Capitol. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy formally introduced her own bill on the House floor Tuesday that would ban high-capacity ammunition clips like the one Jared Loughner used to gun down 19 individuals in the Tucson shooting Jan. 8. McCarthy, who is regarded as one...

Attention! Today is quite an historic day. At long last, a section of the media has discovered a "lifelong Democrat" who is supporting the Republican presidential candidate. As you might have noticed, this campaign season has seen a plethora of stories about "lifelong Republicans" who have finally "seen the light" and are supporting Barack Obama. Of course, such "lifelong Republicans" when you look beneath the surface are either Democrats who are fibbing or are formally Republicans on paper but are actually liberal Democrats such as ACLU member Jan Martin who was recently featured on the CBS Early Show. However, we...

Sigh! Attention all you liberal journalists out there including Timothy Egan blogging at the New York Times; you really do need to come up with a better descriptive term than "lifelong Republican" which is the most obvious "tell" of all that the person in question is not quite what they claim they are. In the case of Egan, trying very hard to project "Republicans" as drifting away from John McCain, he used that overused description in his most recent blog entry: My friends: it’s not good for Senator McCain.“As a small business owner, it’s very hard to watch a lifetime...

Democrats use a fake Republican from Grant County to introduce Barack Obama You may remember Barney Smith from Fairmount, Indiana. He spoke at the Democrat National Convention Thursday night and was one of the people who introduced Barack Obama. He will be remembered for the line "I want a president who cares more about Barney Smith than they do about Smith Barney." A great well-written line that many people remember. On Thursday night in Denver, when he introduced Barack Obama, he claimed to be a "lifelong" Republican. But it looks like the Democrats lied about his affiliation, or at minimum...

Carson City, NV - Pat Cattell, 71, is John McCain's contemporary and a lifelong Republican who switched to support Barack Obama. She said as she watched him accept the Democratic nomination for president that sees him as the future and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain as the past. She has her feet on the ground but her eyes stay fixed on the prize of an Obama victory in November. She was among nearly 30 Democrats at a house party Thursday evening here to hear and watch Obama's speech. She isn't anti-McCain. "A fine decent man," she said of the senator...

Exposed. [F]ormer Joyce Foundation board member Barack Obama has secured yet another faux Second Amendment supporter in “lifelong Republican” Tony Dean, a long-time host of hunting and fishing television shows in South Dakota. Dean told the Dallas News he’s switching parties to head a Sportsmen for Obama group. A “lifelong Republican” that is “switching parties to head a Sportsmen for Obama group”? This is an interesting claim, given that Dean was mentioned by the Rapid City Journal in 2003 as a “possible Democratic candidate for Congress” who endorsed Democrat Senator Tim Johnson for reelection just a year earlier. Dean’s efforts...

CLARK LAKE — As a lifelong Republican and former Republican prosecuting attorney, I am very disappointed in John McCain. In 2000, I voted for John McCain for president because he was an independent, nonpartisan Republican. I could not then tolerate George Bush because he clearly lacked the judgment and wisdom to be a president who could be respected around the world. Time has proven this to be true, to our national disgrace. By authorizing his staff to run television ads trying to link Sen. Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton smacks of desperation. We do not need another desperate...

Here I posted about a Democrat Barack Obama supporter in Pennsylvania trying to pass herself off as a "lifelong republican". Well, here is yet another one, this time in North Carolina. First, an excerpt from the Charlotte Observer, titled "Obama Sends A Message": Obama seemed to be reaching out to many of the working class voters who voted for Clinton in the Democratic primary. He shared a stage with Pamella Cash-Roper, a 54-year old licensed nurse from Pittsboro, who along with her husband is unemployed after both had heart surgery. Cash-Roper said she was forced to cash out her 401(k)...
