Free Republic

Facing stiff opposition and an inability to enhance his increasingly impotent support among male voters President Obama today issued an executive order which eXtenz his reproductive choice policies under Obamacare to include requiring that all health insurance policies provide free prescriptions for Viagra and other male enhancement medications. Obama was quoted as saying that we need to take a hard line stance on this issue and to help men to rise up against the Republican war against the reproductive rights of Americans. "It is simply not fair that men have to pay as much as $20 per pill in order...

Amy Biviano, the Democratic challenger in a high-profile battle for a legislative seat representing Spokane Valley, is defending a 1995 topless photo shoot with Playboy magazine as a confidence-building experience while attending Yale University. In an interview Friday, following a conservative website’s disclosure that Biviano appeared in a “Women of the Ivy League” edition, Biviano said she doesn’t regret the photo shoot but wouldn’t do it again as a mother. “It was one of the youthful college kinds of things. I was interested in pushing my limits,” Biviano said in an interview Friday. “This was my small act of rebellion.”...

The great American newspaperman H. L. Mencken said nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. I believe the Obama campaign is about to prove him wrong. I am not going defend the intellect of a nation where the top entertainers are Honey Boo Boo and the “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” But when it comes to picking a president, folks who care enough to vote can tell the difference between the presidential and the petty. And right now, Team Obama is waging the least presidential, most petty campaign in the modern era. As Americans struggle to...

Comedian Paul Rodriguez is not joking. The man who made his mark in Hollywood finding humor in just about everything is – in a deadly serious way -- hitting back at fellow Latino celebrities Eva Longoria and Rosie Perez for their recent biting jabs at Mitt Romney. "When it gets personal, like they did, it goes below the belt,” he said. Rodriguez is featured in a new Latino-targeted ad for Romney, whom he is supporting after what he says is disappointment over President Obama. Rodriguez says he’d been a lifelong Democrat and voted for Obama in 2008. Longoria drew fire...

Nineteen days out from Election 2012 and are there’s a nagging unease making it feel like the proverbial lull before the storm. All check points from the latest polls show Governor Mitt Romney an impressive seven points ahead of President Barack Obama, something that even weeks ago seemed improbable. All maps are now showing a flickering light at the end of the long dark tunnel. The Pocket Messiah is treading, rather than walking on, water. Romney and Obama could have been a resurrected from a kinder gentler past Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, ‘roasting’ each other in scintillating humour at...

Opening act: Seen on stage in Parma, Ohio Former U.S. President Bill Clinton gave a 36-minute speech before introducing Bruce Springsteen to the crowd of approximately 3,000

Last night I was invited to dinner by Al Smith IV, the great-grandson of Al Smith, who was a former New York governor and the first Catholic nominated for president. Al shared some jokes while introducing Obama and Romney. He also poked fun at Cardinal Timothy Dolan, a man of considerable girth, who sat between the two candidates. Al joked that they were separated by a “vast expanse.” The banter throughout the night reminded me of another man of great girth, namely G.K. Chesterton. Standing 6 feet 4 inches and weighing around 290 pounds, Chesterton’s size gave rise to a...

A letter from the desk of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is sparking controversy in Egypt leaving people in disbelief that the Muslim Brotherhood leader had actually referred to the Israeli president as a "great friend." Yet skeptical Egyptians who have called the letter a "Zionist fabrication" have now been silenced, as a spokesman for Morsi confirmed on Thursday the authenticity of the letter, which was given to Shimon Peres by Atef Salem, Egypt's ambassador to Israel, on Wednesday at an official ceremony in the president's residence. The contents of the letter, which were leaked to the press, caused an uproar...

NEW YORK CITY Thursday, October 18, 2012 On Thursday, President Obama & Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will give keynote speeches at the 67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City. The fundraiser, held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, will offer a light-hearted evening for the candidates.

Obama and then-Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in 2008. Founded in 1946 by Francis Cardinal Spellman,...

"I want your vote. I want your vote. I am not too proud to beg; I want you to vote. And the good news is, you can vote in Ohio, right now. Find out where at vote.barackobama.com. If you live nearby, you can vote just a few blocks away," President Obama said at a campaign event in Ohio this evening. Obama then gave the address for the location to vote early.

A couple of years ago, somebody came up with the great idea of plastering grocery store shelves and gas pumps with Post-It notes reading, "How's that Hopey-Changey thing working for you?"I suggest a renewal of that campaign with a little caveat: "Before Obama took office, gas was $1.84 a gallon. How's that Hopey-Changey think working for you?"

Jimmy Kimmel Live - Obama's Voice Different for Second Debate

Writing the lyrics, finding a conservative Olivia Newton John sound-alike, and a free recording studio was easy. What was hard? Finding someone to star in it. I assumed “Paul Ryan Girl” would be the same. Nope. No liberal would touch it. One woman at the casting call gave us a horrified look, “you mean this is pro-Ryan?” “Hmmm, yeah” She shuddered. No, she couldn’t do this and ran out of my house. Conservative actresses who had nary a commercial to their name refused. “It would hurt my career.” “My agent wouldn’t allow me to do this.” “My manager thinks it’s...

Now, the most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs in this country, but not just jobs, good-paying jobs, ones that can support a family. And what I want to do is build on the 5 million jobs that we've created over the last 30 months in the private sector alone. And there are a bunch of things that we can do to make sure your future is bright. Number one, I want to build manufacturing jobs in this country again. You know, when Governor Romney said we should let Detroit go bankrupt,...
