Free Republic

The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...

http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/6/121052.shtml Well isn't this intresting. The "objective news media" supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush's ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry's wife. Please take a moment and vist the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC etc to email the Omsbudsman, the Publisher, the News Editor and demand to know why they allowed clearly partisan advocates of Kerry's Presidential Campaign were presented on their "News" programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the "News Media" be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.

http://www.georgewbush.com/tvads/ Here is a link to the 1st three Bush Re-election ads. As expected the DNC directed its "Objective News Media" mouthpieces at CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC to generate phoney hysteria about these ads. Compared to the demogagery and lies spread by the Kerry Campaign, Moveon.org and the DNC about Bush for the last 6 months, this is probably the mildest sets of ads that have run so far this political season. Please email this link to every person on you email contact list. We need to get as many people as possible to see these ads. They are...

Conservatives should write in Tom Tancredo in the primary ballot to demonstrate the depth of concern we have with the President. If enough do this, he will get the message.

TARGETED REPUBLICANSThe Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), in its uphill climb to regain control of the House, has targeted four freshman Republicans: Reps. Max Burns of Georgia, Bob Beauprez of Colorado, Mike Rogers of Alabama and Rick Renzi of Arizona. Beauprez, Rogers and Renzi all won narrowly in 2002, with Beauprez squeaking in by only 121 votes in his suburban Denver district. A Colorado Republican redistricting effort to strengthen Beauprez's district was thrown out in court. He now faces a tougher Democrat than he defeated in 2002: Columbine prosecutor Dave Thomas. Burns won by 55 percent in the Augusta, Ga.,...

Siegelman concedes By Phillip Rawls Associated Press MONTGOMERY — Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman conceded the governor’s race Monday night, making Republican Rep. Bob Riley the victor after a nearly two-week legal battle that divided the state. Siegelman announced his decision to end his quest for a recount in the state Capitol, surrounded by staff and supporters. The announcement clears the way for Riley’s inauguration Jan. 20, when he will become Alabama’s third Republican governor since Reconstruction. It was the last governor’s race to be decided in the Nov. 5 general election, giving the GOP another Southern statehouse and a 26-24...

Tuesday was a massacre for the democrats. They had no message and the polling was horrible. I have always been skeptical about polls and it appears that most of the pre-election polls were off. So why did the republicans do so well? George Bush deserves much of the credit, but let's not forget about the great candidates we had. 90% od our candidates were experienced and did well in their debates. The democrats did have a message. It was "no" to whatever being asked. The get nothing done senate was another reason. No bills and no judges were coming out...

Poll sees Riley with slim edge 09/08/02 By BILL BARROW Capital Bureau MONTGOMERY -- A new statewide poll shows Republican U.S. Rep. Bop Riley of Ashland holding a narrow lead over Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman in an increasingly bitter gubernatorial race widely expected to erupt into a gutter war as the Nov. 5 election draws closer. The Mobile Register-University of South Alabama survey last week of 740 registered, likely voters has Riley drawing 44 percent support to Siegelman's 41 percent.
