Free Republic

Wondering how all the anti-Republican "I'm not gonna vote for McCain" folks think about about what they got? What do these same . . . true believers . . . believe is in store for us during the mid-term elections?

There has been much talk of the 8 year BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) from the left but I think it's time we admitted there are DS's on the right and we have to look no further than our own backyard here at FR to find the most glaring example, McCain Derangement Syndrome. McCain wasn't my preferred candidate. In fact, I'd have to go all the way back to Reagan to find my own preferred candidate victorious. But you never get everything you want in politics so many times you have to work with you got and make the best of...

Here is video of one of the truly great conservative voices today summing up in just under three minutes why is it essential for John McCain to be elected President. The video shows Columnist Charles Krauthammer speaking at the Munk Debates in Canada this past May 26. He perfectly lays out the truth of what has been at stake for the United States in Iraq, and why the Democrats would lead America to a "catastrophic defeat" if they take the White House. What he said about Iraq two months ago has been verified since then -- that America is on...

For religious conservatives at the Texas Republican Convention, even the song list at Friday's prayer rally suggested dark days ahead for the GOP. "We're going to support McCain," he said with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. "He may not have been all of our first choice, but he is our choice." "I'm going to support McCain and try to help people see the reality of the total picture and how dangerous Barack Obama is," said state Sen. Dan Patrick, a conservative talk-radio host with a strong evangelical following. "There is no other choice."

Like Davey Crocket and company at the Alamo, there are a number of steadfast conservatives who are holding out against John McCain, even in the face of what amounts to unvarnished socialism in the person of Barack Obama. Most of these individuals are committed, principled, conservatives, which means their allegiance to the Republican Party depends on the frequency and degree with which the Republican Party faithfully, fully, resolutely and competently fosters conservative ideals of governance. Quite simply, John McCain isn’t their man. Far more the maverick, compromising, bipartisan, sometimes-conservative, McCain has repeatedly raised the ire of conservatives not for his...

America is the most blessed country and God will never forsake America the greatest and most benevolent nation in history of mankind. John McCain will be the next President of the United States. John McCain is a great leader. When he was down in the polls last year and everybody wrote him off, they asked him if he was down because he supported the war in Iraq. John McCain answered “I will rather lose and election than lose the war”. This is the ultimate proof of great leadership. John McCain will continue the war on terror to defeat the evil...

In this election we have very a clear choice to make. A choice between Victory against Islamic Terrorism or surrender to our terrorist enemy. A choice between free market capitalist economy or socialism. A choice between constructionist judges or liberal judges who legislate from the bench. A choice between Life for the unborn or abortion on demand going wild. A choice between lower taxes or higher taxes. A choice between small government or big government. A choice between John McCain or Barack Obama. Let us choose John McCain. A Patriot, a war hero, and would be an excellent President. God...

SCIENTISTS are looking for Britain's most stomach-churning unwashed coffee mug in a contest to mark the discovery of penicillin 75 years ago today. The Royal Society of Chemistry is searching for the most spectacular growth of gunge to be found in a forgotten mug at work. Although coffee cup cultures are often green, any disgusting colour is allowed. Staff in offices, factories and other workplaces are being asked to submit photos – but not to have the rank mugs delivered. To qualify, the mould floating on the top of the left over coffee must be clearly discernible. The most impressive...
