This is my first post to FR so I'l keep it short and sweet! What is Biden talking about? “Mark my words, an unknown major crisis in the world within 6 months of the next President taking office”. And that if it’s Obama, “We need to support him without question and urge others, (with pressure), to support him in whatever he decides to do to handle the unknown situation”. Those statements are from Biden’s speech at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma on Sunday. It’s the beginning of propagandizing for a leftist/socialist government. I’ll tell you, if that’s what’s in the near future for this country, I sure as hell don’t want a community organizer who spent a significant amount of that time in the company of a domestic terrorist who is not in prison because of a technicality and has spent only a mere 100 and some days of his current 1st term as a US Senator, actually doing what he was elected to do not counting time spent campaigning for POTUS. Some feel it is no big deal that Obama hangs out with Ted Kaczynski, oh wait, wrong terrorist, Ted was the Unabomber who is staying at the Super Max Prison in Colorado, they could be friends though, the Unabomber’s manifesto was ahead of its time dealing with social/environmental issues. Al Gore couldn't have said it better himself. Now I remember, that’s right it was Tim McVey, wait no, wrong terrorist again, Tim's been exocuted. I get confused about which domestic terrorist is ok by the media to hang out with. Now I remember, it’s Bill Ayers, he’s the domestic terrorist who the mainstream media will ignore and give an inexperienced, 1st term politician a get out of jail free card for hanging out with. Nightline has devoted a significant amount of time tugging at the heartstrings of voters with news of the failing health of Obama’s grandmother, May her health return. Is this an October surprise? They then close the stupid show with the important question, “Did Governor Palin’s appearance on SNL hurt her or help her”? Vote online! McCain, though not my first choice, is a known quantity in the world and much less likely to be tested by those who wish to do us harm. As a lifelong military man, McCain is much more qualified to keep this nation safe. Nobody has offered a proper explanation of why I should be more concerned with Palin as a VP than with Obama as President. Governor Palin owes no favors to have gotten to where she is. I strongly suspect Obama has a crate full of IOU’s to some very questionable leftist/socialist people, groups, agencies, etc… Governor Palin has actually been on the job the last 3 years while Obama has been running the longest, earliest ever Presidential campaign. Both have a similar period of time in government with Obama as a legislator and Palin as an executive. A legislator, (Obama), writes and votes on bills that usually end up costing tax payers, (you), more money. An executive, (Palin), such as a, Mayor, Governor, or President, runs the government of their city, state, or country, hopefully within a specified budget. An executive is a much more demanding position running the many departments under them. A legislator basically comes up with ways to get more and spend more of your money and making deals with other legislators to do more of the same. Thanks to the usual media suspects, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, ETC… I know much about Palin, MR. and MRS. McCain, Joe the Plumber, yet very little about Obama, ACORN, Ayers, etc… I already know what a schmuck Biden is. What upset me so much is the original statement Biden made, “We need to support him Obama) without question and urge others, (with pressure), to support him in whatever he decides to do to handle the unknown situation”. After what these people (The press and democrats)did to President Bush? SCREW THEM!!! Where was he when Bush had to make the tough decisions? Back stabber. Just a refresher. The stock market and economy had already collapsed a year before Bush took office. Enron, Global Crossing, etc… all the fraud occurred under Bill Clinton. George Bush is the President that prosecuted them all. Then, 9-11 happened and worsened things but in spite of all that, the Bush tax cut policies helped the economy recover in a remarkably short time Also under most of Bush’s Presidency, the value of the markets kept going up, interest rates kept going down, unemployment kept going down to a level that was basically so low that the remaining 4.8% just didn’t want a job. In 2006, the democrats took control of the house and senate. As the controlling entity, the democrats appointed their own committee chair persons to run everything. A year and a half later, the economy began to tank. The first thing to jam up the gears of our economy was the democrats energy policy which was to do nothing to help lessen the energy crisis. The next thing was to appoint Barney Frank to the SEC and facilitate the housing mortgage crisis. The only mistake Bush may have made was going into IRAQ. A war that was won in less than a month and then nation building commenced after that. Opinions about this war will eventually settle in time and the value of what Bush did will be recognized. I can think of a lot of ways we are a better, safer nation today because of Bush and his policies. Just noticed something curious, why does the spell checker in Word 2007 recognize Obama but not Palin as correct spellings? I have watched the weekly 90 minute Obama infomercials (I mean saturday night live) the last 4 weeks on NBC. Last night cold play had to work an endorsement of Obama into their song at the end of the show. They have one more show before the election and one "special show" night before the election. It just amazes that NBC and SNL gets away with this blatant endorsement of Obama. Durnig the last election cycle here in Seattle, our talk radio host John Carlson and KVI radio had to go to court to defend their right to commentary of candidates yet NBC has had no contest about their blatant coersion of voters toward Obama.
Thank God for the good people of FR to keep some honesty in this very charged political world.
OK, that was fun, Jeff
I fully agree and recognize the high standards expected of people posting on FR. I've already figured out a few things thanks to the suggestions of a few, thank you.
I take it very seriously to join into this forum and be a part of what I consider to be a group of knowledgeable citizens, more informed than the rest and in many cases probably myself included.
I am also anxious to do my part to contribute to electing good honest conservative candidates to office. I am a rarity in Western Flushington, a Republican PCO.
Over the years' I've spent a lot of time reading and getting information here on FR. There are a lot of others like me that have relied upon FR for the latest news and information. One of the greatest days I remember was when a Freeper destroyed Dan Rather, Mary Mapes, and the whole memo gate fabrication against President Bush.
That being said, next time, just determine if a person is a troll or not before calling them one and flaming them out of existence. There are probably a lot of people that would really like to post here and contribute and growth is good. I assume a troll is a person from DU or KOS pretending to be something they're not and trying to post views that are not compatible with what I consider the normal mind set on FR.
In conclusion, everyone on FR has had to get their first post out of the way at some point. This was mine and I will consider the bruising a badge of honor.
Now we can make money from the inaccuracies in the polls.

Just hope if you are as sincere as you come across, you not be too offended, and stick around. I think part of the problem is that some FReepers have become suspicious of newcomers because some liberal types sign up here looking for trouble.
At least you got that one nice response to your improperly-formatted post, and I'm sorry about the rest of it; I don't run it, but I thought they were pretty hard on you for a piddley thing for a newcomer, they could have said what they said in a nicer manner IMO. I've been piled on sometimes, try not to provoke it any more, you didn't cross any lines AFAIC, and if I get my feathers too ruffled, take timeout but always find myself coming back.
That was the short version? ... Good exposition of thoughts; glad you formatted with paragraphs. Welcome to FR, n00bie. [That’s the friendly way; ‘n00b’ is the unfriendly way.]
If it walks like a vanity and talks like a vanity ... it's a vanity
From the Posting Guidelines:
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
As the election cycle draws to a close the number of vanities like the one you posted has gone ballistic. The fact that it was a giant, paragraph-less blob only made it worse. ...
While, as you stated, your opinions are just as valid as mine ... posting them as a vanity is still bad form.

If you don't have any good contributions to help me make my next post better, then leave the matter to those who will help me and others like me to become better posters to FR.
That's what I was doing and, at the risk of being repetitive, my contribution is still ... stop posting vanities
I love that. That’s great.
If you think what happened to you now is bad, you would have run away, screaming during the early flame wars.
I just laught to myself and ingore trolls.
