Free Republic

There is an anti-Israel movement among the rank and file, and the party no longer appears to value self-reliance, charity and accountability. When members of the Democratic Party booed the inclusion of God and Jerusalem in their party platform this year, I thought of my parents. ... The immigrant family in which I grew up was, in the matter of politics, typical of the Jews of Boston in the 1930s and ’40s. Of the two major parties, the Democrats were in those days the more supportive of Jewish causes. Indeed, only liberal politicians campaigned in our underprivileged neighborhood. Boston’s Republicans,...

Lev 26:13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright. Lev 26:14 'But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, Lev 26:15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, Lev 26:16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and...

All that for nothing. It was the billion-dollar election that did not decide one single damned thing. Republicans control the House. Democrats control the Senate. And the White House remains in Democratic hands with absolutely no mandate whatsoever. Another four years with no hope of change. In this environment with this economy and all the gravely important matters pressing against the very existence of this country, it should have been a tsunami election. It should have been a landslide that sent President Obama into dust heap of failed presidencies. Instead, the election was about Big Bird. It was the rape...

WATER CAME UP through Nikki Brunetti's toilets, through her shower and under her doors, slowly rising to unimaginable depths inside her Brigantine home last week...Since then, she's piled up lifelong possessions at her curb, shaken hands with Gov. Christie, and met President Obama, all in her hometown. The experience cast Christie in a new light for her and only reinforced her support for President Obama, she said.

Former Jack Murtha aide Congressman Mark Critz has lost to GOP challenger Keith Rothfus in the redrawn 12th District of Western PA. Rothfus was helped with support from the Club for Growth which contributed 300-thousand dollars in advertising support to his candidacy. Keith is a political outsider in the Republican Party who defeated the party's handpicked candidate in the 2010 primary for the 4th Congressional District. He lost in the 2010 General Election to Democrat Jason Altmire by a close 51-49 margin. This year the 4th District was eliminated and Rothfus's home was drawn by the GOP Establishment into the...

It is time for all Americans to come together to demand the integrity and trustworthiness of every vote cast. We should demand that every vote can be matched to a legal living resident in the community it was cast. No matter how long it takes--especially in the swing states.

What are you predictions for the stock market tomorrow? What about the next month/year?

With 100% of the votes tallied, it looks like same-sex marriage has been passed by Washington State voters. Sign of the times.

So that's what it takes to win an election, huh? Lie, cheat, and steal? You should be proud of yourself, Barack and Mitt. As far as I'm concerned both of these traitorous, do-nothing, chicken-shit twits deserve each other. I think it would have been best for America if Obama's and Romney's planes have collided over the high desert somewhere? It's time for a third party!

Game over.

Time to reform the way electoral votes are allocated.

As the election results pour in tonight, I am confronted with by a period of time in which I must reassess my core values and beliefs, and how they fit into the broader population of the United States.

This has been brewing a while. It's probably not a fully formed thought, so I'll just throw that out there first and foremost and apologize. The situation, as we all know now, is grim. We have an ineffective, disliked and extremely polarizing incumbent. We have an allegedly moderate Republican from a very blue state. We have the GOP wunderkind in Ryan who is supposedly going to help flip another very blue state in Wisconsin. Yet what do we have? 4 more years of Obama. This is the end of the GOP and of national conservatism. It's time to face it,...

The election hotline manned by the secretary of state's office had received 6,700 calls by mid-afternoon, but only about 200 of them were complaints, Velayas said. The most common complaint, sparking about 50 calls, was that a pollworker had acted rudely or did not perform satisfactorily, Velayas said. Fewer than 15 calls targeted electioneering at poll sites, with some callers not knowing that such activity is barred only within 100 feet of the entrance. A more serious problem was noted at a Southern California election problem center manned primarily by nonpartisan lawyers and other volunteers, including Kathay Feng, executive director...

PITTSBURGH – Mitt Romney’s campaign always makes his arrivals in various cities known to the local media, and in turn the public, but never before has a crowd of this size shown up to greet him. Upon landing here in Pittsburgh, Romney’s aides appeared shock as they crowded around the windows to check out the crowd. And Romney was visibly moved at the site of the crowd, hundreds of supporters crammed into a parking structure just outside the airport. Check the ABC News Live Blog for updates throughout the day and results all night. Romney deplaned and walked toward a...

@DavidLimbaugh Just saw update from RNC says turnout up (125%) in GOP Geauga County, OH where McCain won 57 & down 10% in Athens Cty where O won 67%. Realize we still have 4.5 hours of voting left! I'm hearing all red areas crammed. My wife's friend voted a few miles from us in a red precinct: 1.5 hours.

For the head of Libya's national election commission, the method by which Americans vote is startling in that it depends so much on trust and the good faith of election officials and voters alike. "It's an incredible system," said Nuri K. Elabbar, who traveled to the United States along with election officials from more than 60 countries to observe today's presidential elections as part of a program run by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES). Your humble Cable guy visited polling places with some of the international officials this morning. Most of them agreed that in their countries, such...

RT @jimacostacnn: Romney on final plane avail: "I feel we have put it all on the field. We left nothing in the locker room. Romney tells reporters he's written a victory speech that is 1,118 words long, says it's only speech he's written at this point. - by stevebruskCNN

Just back from my Fairfied County, CT polling place. Voted at 5 PM, at that point, turnout was 75%! That smashes the record for our town. In 2008, our town went 2:1 for McCain. Good sign for Linda McMahon for Senate and Steve Obsitnik for Congress.

NEW BERN, NC (WNCT) – A North Carolina 69-year-old’s comment posted on Barack Obama’s Facebook page, which has more than 30 million likes, has unleashed a flood of complaints about potential voter fraud. Jim Turner admits he wrote the following on the president’s Facebook page: “I have voted once in Beaufort, once in Henderson, twice in Emerald Isle, and will vote in my precinct in Pine Knoll Shores. I will do whatever it takes to save our country from the world envisioned by Mitt” Romney. The idea someone could have voted four times in one election ignited fury on WNCT’s...
