...You get the Breaking News and all the news here first... That's probably a stretch. But we certainly get the good stuff consolidated in one location with a wide range of analysis and opinion.

I often wonder how many columnists visit and contribute in the FR forums.

I often wonder how many columnists visit and contribute in the FR forums.

I would imagine that a lot of them post their ideas here and to see what kind of reaction they will get and to see whether their ideas will hold up under criticism.

Guess who I really am. :-)

Free Republic = The PREMIER show prep site for RUSH and the world.

Rush, Howie Carr et al, get it here and they turn around and are show prep for others. I have seen it time and time again. I read it here first and hear it from them later on. Then I think to myself... "Hey I read that EARLIER on FR!" Well-done guys and gals... keep up the great work! :o)
