Free Republic

Before I announce the distinguished nominees I am recommending for the United States Supreme Court, I want to say something. When Justice O’Conner resigned, it was like a switch was thrown: Endless voices cut loose, with loud commentary and warnings of what would happen if I sent up the “wrong person” for our highest court. Voices from the press—voices from all across the political spectrum. You’d better do this, you’d better not do that. I was warned about appointing an “extremist”—in the most extreme terms. To coin a phrase: One citizen’s extremist is another citizen’s “centrist.” But all the folks...

Just a quick thought for comment.... What would you think about President Bush nominating John Ascroft for the U.S. SUPREME COURT.... This would be a great question for Arlen Specter, to see if he would SUPPORT this nomination... John Ascroft has already been in front of the Judiciary Committee firing squad.. and survived.... I think this would be a GREAT test to see if Arlen Specter has what it takes to be CHAIRMAN !!

Bush's Top Priority Items scuttled by Republican Leadership Bluebay Mediavannrox 11-17-2004 Bush's Top Priority Items scuttled by Republican Leadership. Less than two weeks after the decisive 2004 election, senior republican senate leaders have openly opposed key policy agenda of the Bush Administration. Questions have arisen concerning whether or not this president has a "Popular Mandidate" to implement his programs. His greatest hurtle is within his own party. Key to the 2004 - 2008 policy programs unveiled by the President include Tax Reform, Judicial Nominations, The War on Terror, and Social Security Reform. At every step in these key policy...

Bush won .. 44 is the NEW number .. we don't have to listen Daschle whine again, and ain't it a kick?? God Bless America, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, all our leaders, the Republic campaigners who worked SO hard, and ESPECIALLY our unbelievably brave troops! Pray pray pray .. and just a little gloat every now and then to realize how incredible this victory was. Thank you, God.

PRICELESS. "I'm not opening any doors, I'm not shutting any doors" (San Fran Gate link). Now the rest of the Democrats get to say "I voted FOR a Kerry Presidency before I voted AGAINST it." Ah, the gift that keeps on giving...

Rush is floundering. He cannot find and hold a position on Specter and sounds utterly incoherent. This post is to counter Rush's rare defalcation and remind his listeners of the importance of acting now to eliminate Senator Specter before he assumes the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and does great mischief to any pro-life nominee. We do not need another Borking of a good and honest nominee by this unprincipled and mercurial RINO. Bork Specter.

I hope that President Bush doesn't try to "reach out" again this term by appointing people who appeal to leftist sensibilities. This time, he has a clear mandate, and as such should appoint true conservatives who will do what is best for our country and its allies (including Israel). I hope that he will rid his administration of at least the following cancers: Colin Powell, Norm Mineta, and Tom Ridge, for the following reasons: 1) Colin Powell, State. Where do we begin? Sometimes I wonder if this guy is the Secretary of State for the PLO, Saudi Arabia, or al-France....

It is becoming apparent that the Democrats are set-up for more backfires. The record voter registration and turnout, early voting and the legions of (Democratic) lawyers dispensed to find fraud (even before it happens!) have changed the dynamics of this election cycle, but not as they predicted. Impartial OECD election observers are complaining about the bias towards Democrats on their tours, early voting has fired up millions of Republicans to find time in their busy lives to vote early, not on the way home from work on November 2nd, stuck in rush hour traffic. We can thank the Democrats for...

Let's stop the breathless refreshing and do groundwork. I'll be back around 7 and I suggest all who can to do the same. I'm making phone calls. I'm sure the local GOP headquarters can keep you busy too. Don't whine about the results, go affect them.

Who connects with the voters?

If Bush loses, this is why.... Monday, November 1, 2004The Cyber Menace ANALYSIS Before anyone jumps to the conclusion that this is a prediction of a Bush loss, it isn't. In fact, I am firmly of the view that he will win the election, based largely on the belief that John Kerry has not provided a positive reason for America to change its leader at this crucial time in its history. Having gotten that out of the way, I also want to be on record if it doesn't quite work out that way. As we all know, this looks like...

Rush sounds depressed today. I hope that is not bad news.

I am not certain what is happening or what happened over the weekend, but morale has dipped far further than I have seen it throughout the entirity of this campaign. I don't know why most of the weekend polls including Gallup show a Kerry push. But there is one very ugly possibility. I was certain that the OBL tape would give president Bush a huge push going into Tuesday because I assumed that the American people are made of sterner stuff than the Spanish. But, perhaps this is untrue? Perhaps 30-40 years of therapeutic counseling rather than moral instruction has...

sKerry is doing better with new voters and young people. But Bush is doing better this cycle among blacks, Jews, evangelicals, Catholics, and women. He is way ahead on trustworthiness, the war on terror, and the likability factor. He has correctly tagged sKerry as a flipflopper and a Mass. liberal. There is something wrong with the polls that show Bush only slightly ahead.

One thing we all have to realize is that there is a conspiracy of sorts between the media, poolsters, and both candidates to report close races. Everyone wins. 1. The media wins because ratings are much higher in a close race than a boring blowout. Ever been to a 40-10 football game? Yawn. 2. Pollsters win with close polls because people on both sides frequently check when a race is "close." Been to RCP lately? Only about every 5 minutes. 3. Bush wins because complacency is a winner's biggest enemy. Ever see a loser in a football game come back...

Out of the last 36 elections (presidential and interim), if the Washington Redskins won, then the incumbent (Bush) would win. They just pointed out in the trailer that "Kerry wins?" caption since they just lost.

Also, Bush will win Maine's 2nd district, getting one vote for a theoretical total of 297-241. If the rumors about an unfaithful West Virginia elector are true, it could drop this to 296-241.

Didn't it strike you as odd the way President Bush took all the abuse over "no WMD's?" without fighting back with at least a simple, most reasonable explanation, that they were moved out of the country before we got there? Everyone "knew" there were WMD's in Iraq before the war. But after none were found almost everyone in the media said there were never any there in the first place, ergo, Bush lied to us to get us to fight a war we didn't want to fight. Why didn't Bush release satellite photos showing truck transports? Why didn't he provide...

Even after the CIA/FBI has authenticated new AQ tape, why is ABC still waiting to show the public. It is not their job to determine politics...Their job is to tell the whole story, no mater what the implications are...

Why are the New York Times, CBS and John Kerry hyping a fraudulent story on the missing explosives? Why did CBS state the story would not hold until 48 hours before the election? My opinion is they knew John Kerry’s presidential run was over when the following documents broke on October 26, 2004 if press and public where not all distracted elsewhere. Documentary evidence was reveled on October 26, 2004 establishing that John Kerry worked with the Vietnamese communists while Vietnam War was still ongoing. The documents clearly state: “The spontaneous antiwar movements in the US have received assistance and...
