My first post

Posted on 08/05/2004 7:35:20 PM PDT by mikewriter

Hello everyone. This is my first post.

I am from Connecticut, which is sadly going to go the way of Kerry in November.

Until recently, I was undecided on who to vote for. But now I know I will vote for our fearless and s trong leader, George W. Bush.

I am a young guy who just recently became interested in politics.

I just wanted to say HI!

You're going to like it here. Glad to hear you're behind W. We've got work to do to give him four more years.

Hi mike,

Welcome to FR. Post early and post often, but most importantly, post replies to those that post in your own threads.

(Oh, yeah, and I s trongly suggest you use spell check.)

Hi Mike,
I am new, too. I have just recently become interested in politics also.
I do not know how to post yet, though.
I am very happy here. A lot of people here seem very nice, warm and friendly. I like to think I have a new home here and hope you do too.
Hooray for the Free Republic.

I just sent this to my nephew. So many of my pics which I think are very, very funny - he doesn't think are funny. This one will surely make him laugh.

Welcome, PIC.

I'll probably never post a thread! If you screw up you're likely to end up bruised and battered!

WELCOME, MIKE!

And congratulations on wise assessment of our President's leadership worth and qualities.

Might I ask what 3 issues or traits, qualities most moved you to vote for him?

And what 3 things do you most like about FR?

My computer is old-fashioned - no Spellcheck. I do have a dictionary.

I am unfamiliar with 'trongly' - what the H*ll does it mean?

Thanks for the welcome :)
I'll probably screw it up if I post. I better study into it for awhile first. Don't want to get battered. :^O

"My computer is old-fashioned - no Spellcheck."

It's the little button right next to the "preview" button, which is right next to the "post" button.



"I am unfamiliar with 'trongly' - what the H*ll does it mean?"

Just a friendly play on your own words in the original post.
"But now I know I will vote for our fearless and s trong leader, George W. Bush." Spell check would have caught that. Enjoy your stay.

How did you learn so quickly how to post a thread?

In the olden days this took us years of training.

You kids and your HTML! Ha! We had to write our threads in binary! And not using ASCII characters, oh no - using ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics...encrypted!

AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY!

Hi Mike.....glad to meet you. I'm encouraged that a lot of young people seem to be wiser than we might think. I see a conservative trend in the 18 to 35 group. It's great !!!!!

I hope you stick around. You have found the place to learn, vent, smile, and laugh as the election gets closer. Free Republic is like a port in a storm.

You do have a new home here, Peace. Come on in and kick your shoes off. You will find yourself among friends.

We are like a family (even have feuds), but we usually stick together when it matters.

Welcome! Don't be discouraged that you seemingly live in liberaland, because there are probably more conservatives than you know. Trust me, you are not alone! I live in California, or the "left coast". But if that were really true, how did we elect a Republican governor (or governator, as we like to say), and who were all those people lining the freeways to get a glimpse of President Reagan's hearse, or standing for HOURS to pay their respects? Nope! You are not alone. Get informed, link up with other conservatives (locally/nationally), and have fun! Take action, but watch out because the peace people aren't really peaceful. Add facts and watch them jiggle, wiggle and squirm! The make some of the funniest faces! Different colors too! Stand proud, stand tall, and DON'T BACK DOWN! Welcome again to the right side!
