I have written a lot over the years on my experiences with vote fraud in elections. Were it not for fraud, Republicans would win far more elections. After serving as a campaign worker, Poll Watcher, Alternate Judge in a democrat-dominated precinct, and yesterday as an Election Judge, I have concluded that being an election worker is the BEST way to prevent fraud. As a Judge you can enforce the law to the letter. In Texas we have an air tight system enhanced by our outstanding, un-hackable ESlate voting system in Harris County. I was aided by fellow Freepers, Tropicana Rose...

In New York's 23rd Congressional district, Democrat Owens finished with 49% , making him the winner of a plurality of the votes. What's being overlooked by Republicans and conservatives is that Scozzafava, despite having withdrawn from the race, still garnered 6% of votes, with Hoffman getting 45%. I'm guessing that most of Scozzafava's 6% were absentee ballots which had already been mailed before she dropped out. Other votes could have come from die hard fans of hers, or voters who simply didn't know she was no longer in the race. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that Owens won with...

Now that we sit her in incredulity as Doug Hoffman wanders off into the sunset, maybe it's a good time to take a moment and think about what just happened. Modern politics is not won with torches and pitchforks from half way across the country which is what was attempted here. No, Scozzafava should never have been handed the nomination but it was an isolated, freakish situation brought on by the sudden departure of the incumbent and exasperated by everyday political insider dealing. To claim that it was an example of how GOP politics work everyday is hyperbole by those...

Dear Elected Representative Washington, D.C. Re: CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? You ignored our tee parties, you ignored the 1.7 Million marching on Washington DC on September 12, and you ignored our letters, phone calls and emails. Yesterday despite everything that POTUS and the Democratic Party could do, including pouring 3 times the amount of money into the New Jersey race than the Republican challenger, the electorate said “NO”. “ENOUGH” “STOP THE MADNESS”. C A N Y O U H E A R U S N O W? We are retired with a pension. That means we can dedicate 100%...

I'm enjoying watching the rancid media die by another inch on this morning after great conservative election victories. Fox is concentrating on the election results. MSNBC is showing an extended puff piece on Obama's 2008 win. CNN is running a story about gas pedals that stick in Lexus cars... I'm just saying... LOL!

We have this HOPE as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Heb 6:19 Nazi Pelosi as the Dictator of the House is going to cram DeathCare down America’s gullet. She wants to enslave the Country into a massive bureaucracy that will smother us under massive controls and repressive taxes. She is going to punish the people who make this Country work to give gummit more of our lives. As she vilifies the successful who make the jobs in this Country, she becomes one of the largest libocrites in the land. Here we have a corrupt Pol who is...

But enough with the blind contributions to the Republican Party, and with the blind voting for establishment-backed candidates. That the establishment attempts to save face every time it loses, at it is doing now by supporting Hoffman two days before the election, should not blind anyone from the fact that only hours ago, it was throwing money at a genuine leftist while trashing Hoffman, and that in the coming months, it will be supporting a decidedly non-conservative Charlie Crist over a perfectly conservative and perfectly electable Marco Rubio in the Florida Republican Senate primary. Thus, until the Republican establishment truly...

Heard on MSNBC which prefers to discuss NY23 than the two STATE GOVERNORSHIPS.

Thank you, Lord! We are finally bringing our country back from the brink of socialism.

A simple poll on Bill O`Reily's blog asks the question, which of these four candidates will beat Obama in 2012? Mike HuckabeeMitt RomneySarah PalinNewt Gingrich Answer the poll question on O`Reily's blog My personal opinion is that the office is Sarah Palin's to lose. However, I want to know how anyone can think that Newt Gingrich even has a chance after his disastrous support for the liberal Scozzafava over Hoffman?

Are there any results on the homosexual marriage vote in Maine? A site that has exit polls and results? I'm praying for an upset, I know its Maine but one can hope!

With 2/3 of the ballots counted in Virginia, McDonnell (R) is pounding Deeds (D) 61%-39%. The last Rasmussen poll had McDonnell ahead 54%-41%. There's a big difference between a 22% win and a 13% win. As I suspected would be the case, it appears the GOP, especially conservatives are HIGHLY motivated, while the democrats are not.

Ada Scheidler [3rd generation Scheidler working for prolife] holds a protest sign at a rally outside Planned Parenthood Aurora [photo by Sam Scheidler].Today at Mass, I was praying for our nation, and what came to mind were the relatively few people (with prominent power!) "going to bat" for us doing the "extraordinary" (while putting their lives on the line) to help save our nation and the world at large. Of course, there are others, but as the following continue on their journeys attempting to "knock [another] one out of the park," know that there is a way that we can...

I voted today at my required voting place at Northwest Elementary School at 300 Youville St. today. I live in Manchester, New Hampshire. I walked up and said my last name 'xxx', the lady looked it up, I pointed to my name and touched the voter roll. Then she asked me my address as if to confirm who I was. I already saw the address before she covered it up. And she didn't ask for my ID, which I know she isn't required to do. This is just open to fraud. I can go back tonight if I wanted, give...

Democracy vs. Terrorism - Congress, UN Vote On Goldstone Israel Gaza Report Joel Leyden Israel News Agency Jerusalem ---- November 3, 2009 ..... There was never an easier vote to decide upon. Today the US House of Representatives is expected to vote on a resolution requesting US President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton “to oppose unequivocally any endorsement or further consideration of the ‘Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict’.” What has become known as the UN Goldstone Report, a biased, one sided investigation that refers to the internationally recognized terror group Hamas as...

ROME – The Vatican has denounced a ruling by the European court of human rights that said the display of crucifixes in Italian public schools violates religious and educational freedoms. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi says the crucifix is a "fundamental sign of the importance of religious values" in Italian history and culture. He says the European court had no right intervening in such a profoundly Italian matter .. .. In Strasbourg, France, on Tuesday ordered Italy to pay a euro5,000 ($7,390) fine to a mother who wanted crucifixes removed from her children's classrooms. The Italian government said it...

Kentucky Congressman John Yarmuth (D) was just on Fox News. In an exchange with Trace Gallagher he admitted that the Democrats never intended for the healthcare legislation to cut cost. Here are the quotes: Trace: "But I thought the idea was to lower cost." Yarmuth: "Nobody ever said we were ever going to bring the cost down." Later in the exchange: Yarmuth: "Nobody ever believed we could actually bring cost down."

Freepers, get ready for THE first national "Telephone Tea Party." Massive exposure is planned and every freeper will be called upon to join this "telephone tea-party." Patriots, get your dialing fingers ready!!! Details will be announced Wednesday morning.

I'm trying to figure out if there are actually that many helpless Americans or if its propaganda to make you think there are. The price is very high for the rest of us if the democrats get their way. Taxes through the roof on all of us for the next five generations to pay for them and the bureaucracy that is now being created. This will only institutionalize lazy behavior and completely kill the work ethic. What Obama is attempting goes against the grain of this countries very foundations. You bet I want him to fail!...Fail completely!

We can think and reason for ourselves. President Obama and those around him are trying to control every aspect of our lives. Barbara From Harlem and her co-host offer straight conservative talk from African Americans to all Americans. Listen today and go out and vote!

Did anyone notice how zero was talking (sounding) this morning. His voice sound completely different, to the point of almost not being recognozable.

C4C Since “Cash For Clunkers” applied to Ford, GM and Chrysler. Why did Ford Motor Company post a ONE BILLION DOLLAR 3rd quarter PROFIT and GM and Chrysler post losses? It couldn’t be the autos since all models are about the same size, design and price. I believe it was the consumer buying more Fords as a REWARD for not taking TARP money and remaining a private company. The more units sold, the more profit. Consumer votes have been cast. Ford, GM and Chrysler have gone their separate ways. Now when GM and Chrysler look up they see the gutter...

BARCELONA (Reuters) – A company behind plans to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and time frame for the multi-billion dollar project. The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro (2.7 million pounds) for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island. During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They...

As we approach Tuesdays elections, the MSM is once again trying to have it both ways in terms of sticking it to Conservatives.On Sunday, the AP story was about "Does the Republican Party welcome moderates?" Several quotes from Democrat officials proclaiming NY23 as evidence that the GOP is intolerant and narrow. Never mind that Scozzafava was not forced out - she suspended her own campaign after polling showed voters in the district began to move to Hoffman.So, today the AP story is about the GOP not being united as evidenced by the rise of Hoffman and his legion of conservative...

Thinking about Peggy Noonan's column the other day the question is has it started? What has started, I think women are starting to see that Obama in today's street talk is a "Poser". It hit me, how many times after a breakup etc has a lady asked to go out to diner and talk about that low life ex-husband/boyfriend, in need of venting. He was any of the following; two-timer, weasel, or a poser, promised her the word and gave her non of it or all of the above. Especially in the providing dept.With that said, non of what Obama...

Will Obamacare Die Tuesday Night? The Democrats in Washington can impose any version of Obamacare they want on the American people. The issues of quality, equality and what is simply good for America don’t matter to them.... and never have. They have the necessary majorities in the Senate and House, so they can pass any legislation they want. But they care about something more than voting for universal, socialized free healthcare for the Democrat-voting underclass. They care the most about the votes that will send them…. or their opponent…. to Washington in 12 months. There is nothing more important to...

Call me crazy, but just in case Ogabe tries to shut down the Internet, how can we communicate? A friend suggested Freenet, but that still requires ISP's. Someone else mentioned that the Eagle Forum etc. used to use faxes and phone trees back in the 80's. Does anyone have any thoughts on where to put a phone number so I can get a call when if the unthinkable happens?

Once upon a time, within my living memory, families were able to survive on the wages of one breadwinner. Now it takes two people working to make ends meet and it seems to be getting harder all the time. Could anyone tell us why this is happening? Why has the cost of living grown in the past several decades? How does bad government policies effect the cost of living?

Just found out that my cousin and uncle, who both worked at the same company, both lost their jobs Friday. Their former company actually is laying off 900 people nationwide. They are involved in the logistics/shipping industry and I don't know the name of their company but it is clear that there is little demand out there for products right now. Rush was right when he said very few companies are keeping inventory and if you order something now they have to create the goods when your order arrives. My uncle will probably be okay but my cousin has a...

Arthur Laffer said-- "You can't raise taxes on the rich. These people know how to get around taxes," says Laffer. "Warren Buffett pays no taxes because all of his wealth is in unrealized capital gains. There's no tax on unrealized capital gains, so how do you get it? You have to tax poor people."

ALBANY, N.Y. – In a Republican Party struggling to find its identity, the surprise withdrawal of the chosen GOP candidate for a New York congressional race amid a rising conservative upstart renews a lingering national debate: Are moderates welcome in today's Grand Old Party? The question became even more relevant Sunday when the ex-candidate, state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava, threw her support behind the Democrat in the race rather than the Conservative Party candidate favored by fellow Republicans. The GOP leadership insisted on Sunday political TV talk shows the party is strong and inclusive while Democrats described a Republican party out...

There will be many attempts at interpreting the election results this coming Tuesday. Some people will look to New Jersey to see how the President's popularity and policies are holding up with the voters. But I believe the most critical outcome will be the results in Virginia because of the message it conveys to Blue-Dog Democrats (the key swing vote in health care, cap & tax, card-check, government spending, and taxes). Every Blue-Dog Democrat will have to consider the following: Obama won Virginia last year with an easy 6+% margin. Creig Deeds (classic Blue-Dog Demo candidate for Governor) in on...

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday. We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan,” she said.

Just a little congressional race a full three years before the next presidential election, but yet it provides the clearest indication of exactly who all the major candidates are: Here are my grades from a conservative perspective. Sarah Palin First on October 22, Sarah Palin came out on her Facebook page with a strong endorsement of the Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. A clear shot across the bow of the GOP establishment favoring principle over party. Palin cited Reagan’s ‘time for choosing’ and the principles of “smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty “....

Returning from church, "silent" Calvin Coolidge was asked by the press, "what was the sermon about?" "Sin," he answered, offering no more. "What did the preacher say about sin?" pursued the press. "He was against it." The burlesque in the 23rd Congressional District in New York State demonstrates beyond peradventure that the elites running the Republican Party are hostile to the interests of the conservative movement. It is also clear that unless the Republican Party can accommodate the Tea Party movement it will fail in the upcoming elections. Reform now! Judging from the intermeddling of the Washington elite on...

...there was a New York Times article that predicted the housing/financial meltdown....the article was written about 5 years ago and re-posted on FR within the last couple of months...it outlined in detail how the Dems pressured lenders to make mortgages to low income/high risk borrowers....I can't find it....did anybody bother to save it?....I'd sure like to read it again...many, many thanks....and this time I'll save it like I should have done last time.

We all know that the US has lost 4.5 million jobs under President Obama's march to Socialism. But what about the aborted jobs?

Obummer thought it was pretty cute to use analogy of a (socialist) mop last week. I think the analogy might be more like a capitalistic broom for what may be coming this Tuesday. I can hear the dems shaking tonight on Halloween! And it isn't because it's Halloween. I'm stoked. Freepers thought please.

Will Obama save Christmas? How many of you are planning for your Christmas and devising ways to not spend? This has been a big theme for the past month or so in my family. Our family decided 'regifting' this year is the way to go. We're drawing names and giving something unused from our house that we don't need. Stuff like picture frames, platters, duplicate power drills or screwdrivers, and odd things that are nice, but we don't use. Presents we've gotten over the years. My junk in storage. Nice things we just don't need or use. This Christmas, I...

Let's get to work. Call your Senator and Congressperson Monday.

I have been watching the Hoffman/Scozzafava drama and offer these observations and musings for your consideration. PAST Upon hearing of the nomination of Scozzfava and Hoffmans subsequent third party bid I was incredulous that a Republican of this obvious departure from regular GOP and conservative principles could garner such a selection. At first I thought it was a reflection of the divergent desires of northeast politics, the kind that get a Snowe or Collins elected on the GOP ticket. After doing some reading on what actually went down (tcotreport in particular) it was obvious this was simply a matter of...

Lots of organizations, groups, politicians, etc, are trying to take credit for knocking out the RINO in this race, but the real credit goes to the millions of grassroots conservatives all across this great land who have loudly declared they are fed up and are not going to take it anymore!!

Keep making those calls, writing those letters, attending those Tea Parties and loudly voicing your desire for constitutionally limited government and FREEDOM!! We CAN change it back!!
