“Without FR and its capability of communicating with activists to find out WHO might ought to know what the correct information was, “W” could have easily lost to another evil Algore trick.”
Are you saying the dozens of GOP lawyers were combing site for consitutional precedents, legal strategy and closing argument zingers?
The only thing this site was useful for was organizing activism to meet the left wing commie bastards in the street, which we did well for several years.
Then Jim let the antifreeprs back in and it was over.
Sure there was a consent decree concerning military absentee ballots, but it was like NONE of those lawyers even noticed why the Democrats were going after the postmark issue.
The Dems thought they had it licked ~ that without postmarks those absentee ballots couldn't be counted ~ because Florida law required a postmark!
That law had long before been supplanted by Motor Voter ~ ironically the Leftwingtards' premiere voting rights law ~ and those ballots were postage paid, and lawfully did not need to bear postmarks!
After all Postal Rules require postmarks only on mail that bears postage, e.g. stamps!
Far be it for your typical Republican activist lawyer to ever imagine that Motor Voter had turned the tables on the C-Rats, but it had!
I recall the "individual in charge" at Senator Warner's office explaining how it was all in hand because, "blah, blah, blah, consent decree", but it wasn't!
A congress-critter calling in while flying from someplace to Florida to "lead the charge" was more informed, but it took a while for him to realize that "it was a federal question, not state" ~ kind of like how the Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2!
Here's where Republicans are short ~ they have plenty of lawyers, but mostly with practices representing people who oppose the intended actions of the regulatorybodies ~ it's just not in their nature to think like the Adminisrators ~ and they have to be retrained to work successfully in a new Republican administration, or, in a pinch, replaced with some captain of industry.
Still, it's pretty cheap to find bureaucrats in the bowels of the agencies who will tell you the truth and how to use the law to smite your enemies ~ or gain you an advantage.
Democrats think of that ALL the time. Republicans only rarely!
Bryan, were you there with us at the first Arkansas meet at Slick Willies in 99, the day the Star report came out? Remember Budge? Theindian? Specter? Parsifal? The doctor (whose name I can’t recall) that wrote the book on the Clinton prison blood scandal? Plus others I can’t seem to recall. Remember Bret Baer from Fox interviewing us?
The trip Theindian took us on in the mortorhome to the Rose law firm, Doe’s eat place, Jenifer Flowers apt., the spot where the boys on the tracks were killed. Or were you the one that couldn’t make it? Now that I think about it, didn’t you get stuck in DC that day?
Old and tired minds want to know.
Bet you missed the March For Justice
I’m a middle aged Freeper.
March 9, 1998, through the Rush/Drudge/Whitewater Files route. I rarely post, since I have little to say that others have not already said better than I could.
As for other old-timers, Arthur Wildfire! March is a name I remember from the “old” days, and he’s still around from time to time.
Thanks!
LOL, my husband doesn’t know the first thing about computers. He just accuses me of being more in love with the computer than him!

Hi kid.
Hubbybonn from downstairs yelling upstairs: "Are you up there on Free Republic again?"
mombonn Freeping on the keyboard: "No honey, I am just spending money on e-bay and ordering new clothes on line at Talbots..." Hurriedly opening other sites in other tabs.
Hubbybonn from downstairs: "Don't make me come up there, Dear!
Same here. Lurked back to ‘98, but the FL debacle made me take the plunge.
Original sign on date is Feb.14,1998 as Randy2u, the account is still active.
Got you beat by a few months. No swan songs for me though.

KC Burke aka The "Newashman" aka ASH aka ReduxAsh aka at least five other screen names is a hoaxer who has been banned from posting to this forum. Not once, but many times. He will be banned again soon.
HE WILL, WHEN CHALLENGED, PRETEND INNOCENCE. His use of multiple aliases is, itself a hoax. He is an electronic crasher who is here AGAINST THE EXPRESS WISHES OF THE OWNER OF THIS FORUM.
Attempting to engage him in debate plays into his hands. He is here to create dissent and to disrupt the Free Republic. That is his pattern and the reason his posting privileges have been banned.
Please DO NOT respond in any way to him.
< Ash-like > Who me? < /Ash >
December 18, 1998 here. Remembering the Ashe and Eschoir days.
I still have my Dan’s Bake Sale T Shirt too.
I didnt make that trip. I was with Diotima, Clinton’s a liar, and Ms Antifeminazi ;)
