A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Is this the OCTOBER SURPRISE? Yawn. Kerry's Goose is still cooked

by JohnHuang2

After news reports that Bush plans to bring back the draft by December, end Social Security by January, spread the flu to everyone by March, triple gas prices by May, end stem cell research by June, put everyone in a wheelchair by July, then bring on Armageddon by August, is it any wonder Bush still leads in polls? In the latest Gallup, asked whom they will vote for next Tuesday, 51% said they'll vote Bush, 46% said they'll vote Kerry, 1% said they'll vote Nader, and 4% said, 'What vote next Tuesday?' (Kerry hopes to win by drawing all the undecideds -- all 4 or 5 of 'em.)

None of the charges aimed at Bush seem to stick, so the New York Times and CBS News, Reporting For Duty with a shocking blockbuster fax from Kinko's, revealed on Monday that Iraq, a vast munitions dump, had this vast munitions dump which incompetent Bush failed to personally stand guard over while invading Iraq, allowing looters to loot as troops stopped looters from looting Iraqi museums which the New York Times said was more important than guarding munitions dumps. The Times notes that the munitions once stored there, which the U.N. says haven't been found so they still exist, are the kind of explosives Iraqi 'insurgents' could use to detonate WMDs which the U.N. says don't exist because they haven't been found. (Think that's scary? Imagine this stuff falling into the hands of terrorists here -- terrorists seeking revenge for Iraq, amid election season, targeting, say, Bush campaign offices everywhere. But enough about Democrat protesters.) The munitions dump, further noted the Times in a story since discredited, was central to Saddam's plan to build nukes that the Times says Saddam had no plans to build. (The Times then proceeded to accuse Bush of using scare tactics.)

Pouncing on the story since discredited, Kerry, a Good Closer who isn't Closing, accused Bush of losing the war on munitions dumps, blasting Bush as mentally incompetent for putting "our troops at risk and (putting) this country at greater risk" to a country which Kerry says posed no risk to this country, asserting that if he were president, he'd have guarded the munitions dump in a Swift Boat himself, firing spitballs at looters to ward 'em off -- in between Goose hunting trips to Ohio and healing the crippled. Or, better yet, he'd have left the 380 gazillion-ton stockpile of nuisance explosives in the very competent hands of Saddam Hussein. (Kerry denies this means he'd have left Saddam Hussein in charge of Iraq -- just the nuisance HMX and RDX explosives.) Democrats note that these plastic explosives -- popular with terrorists -- proves Iraq had no links to terrorists.

Campaigning in Wisconsin Tuesday, Kerry accused Bush of lacking a comprehensive strategy for victory over munitions dumps and of failing "in his fundamental obligation as commander in chief to make America safe" by securing every munitions dump in Iraq, which the U.S. should not have invaded because it's the Wrong War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time. With 380 tons of missing explosives out there, "His Iraq misjudgments put our soldiers at risk," Kerry says of Bush in a new ad, adding, 'Oh -- have you heard about those missing explosives?'

(Kerry trolls for headlines every morning to launch his latest attack. 'The truth is, President Bush has never leveled with the American people about . . . Mount. St. Helen . . .')

Kerry, who complains that troops sent to Iraq distract from the hunt for al-Qaeda (which would rather go hunting in lower Manhattan but can't because of troops sent to Iraq), wondered why -- WHY!!!! -- in light of the Times story, Bush had not sent more troops to Iraq. (Kerry also complains that Bush's reliance on troops in the hunt for terrorists is kinda dumb because troops can never stop terrorists dead in their tracks like subpoenas and search warrants can. And holding Summits.) But mere hours after the launch of this October Surprise, the October Surprise was discredited. (CBS says they still vouch for its authenticity.) But PowerlineBlog.com reports that the "Third Infantry Division had reached and inspected al-Qaqaa by April 3, 2003." Powerline's source? CBS News!. The CBS piece, U.S. Searches 'Suspicious' Iraqi Site, thoroughly demolishes CBS and its October Surprise. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reported Tuesday that the IAEA had searched the site just before the war and was unable to "verify that RDX was still at the compound." The missing explosives went missing before warmonger Bush Rushed to War. (Retooled Kerry campaign slogan: Vote for me -- I would've invaded sooner than that slacker Bush!)

Even as the story unraveled late Monday, the New York Times stuck to its guns, splashing, Iraq Explosives Become Issue in Campaign on its front page, right next to an article headlined, Dewey Wins!.

So where are the missing explosives? Probably buried in the same place as news of the Afghan elections.

But there's one thing even the media won't be able to ignore or 'bury': Kerry's massive defeat next Tuesday.

Anyway, that's...

Surely they are terribly confused...surely it is THIS windbag full of hot air (spewing *polluting venom* with it) who is responsible for any rise in global warmng!

LOL! Let the *truth* be known!

KERRY BLAMES BUSH FOR MOON'S DISAPPEARANCE
Me ^ | 10/28/2004 | Puppage

Posted on 10/28/2004 4:12:41 PM EDT by Puppage

BOSTON -- (Reuters) Presidential Candidate John Kerry today took his campaign on a new tack, blaming President Bush for the disappearance of earth's moon last night. Earth's moon, traditionally called "the moon," went missing last night for several hours. "The moon, which hangs over Iraq, was clearly there after the president's misguided invasion. Then last night, it wasn't. President Bush failed to properly guard the moon. The moon wasn't even on his list of facilities important enough for even cursory protection."

Kerry continued the assault, "He put the watch of the Moon behind protecting the offices of the Iraqi Oil Ministry." To the relief of many Kerry supporters, the moon returned to its place in the sky after a few hours of unexplained absence. "Can we be sure it's even the real moon? Perhaps it's a trick by Karl Rove!" Kerry questioned."What a relief!" exclaimed DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. "After Bush let the moon be taken in such an uncaring fault of leadership, to have it returned safely proves that Kerry can lead America past Bush's mistakes."

Kerry addressed tens of supporters in an Akron, Ohio rally later in the day, "The president is the wrong man if he cannot even keep the moon from being stolen. And the president refuses to accept responsibility for this theft. Instead he chooses to place blame on the alignment of the earth, moon, and sun! He's even coerced NASA into supporting him on his claim. Bush continues to lie to this country." The supporters cheered and three of them waved in unison their signs bearing the prophetic numeral "6."

Added McAuliffe, "He knows that howling at the moon is a major part of our rallies for this campaign and if he and his advisors think they can derail us by stealing the focus of our worship, they have another think coming!"

The moon could not be reached for comment.

========================

YIKES!!
Imagine a world without a moon for romance - no moon to put in rhymes!

No moon to which our Wolfie can howl?

Perish the thought!! ..:))

Hi dansy. I heard about those billboards. Geesh! What a bunch of wackos! (((((dansy))))) P.S. Glad you guys got your registration through!

[dutchess]

Hey gals...just got a call from a friend who is a junior at OSU and really wants to go to the rally tomorrow. Do you have a contact where he could call about tickets? He's a great guy and big time GWB fan. (our local pubbie headquarters was no help on this one) Would appreciate if one of you could get back with me ASAP! Thanks!

[Mama_Bear]

Kudos and bravo! Another exceptional post from our erudite JH2, brought to us by our lovely sistah, dutchess.

Thank you ((((((((both))))))))) for all you do.

[dutchess]

Hi Lori. Thanks for the kudos. Think this is one of Johns best (err..well...they all are!) Decided to use your wonderful Reagan pledge today...found it comforting that he is above watching out for our military, great country and president...especialy during the next week!

[Mama_Bear]

Decided to use your wonderful Reagan pledge today...

I noticed, and it made me smile. :-)

found it comforting that he is above watching out for our military, great country and president...especialy during the next week!

Yes, indeed. Comforting it is.

I order to save my sanity, I have turned off the news, on tv and the radio. It's the only way I am going to make it through until Tuesday. From now until then I will just continue to pray a lot.

[Pippin]

Aren't they taking the "Most Powerful man in the world" business just a little too far?

[dutchess]

I'm back to watching soaps (that is sick!) Tape them and fast forward through commercials, watching while I freep! SICK SICK SICK LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

In order to save my sanity,.....

I see the letter thief stole my "n"! Thank you for putting it back. LOL!

Enjoy your soaps. Haven't watched those since the old days of General Hospital - remember Luke and Laura? LOL, (But I am kinda hooked on Dr. Phil.)

[phancypants]

OK, we got our tix from Delaware County GOP.
I have one extra ticket, but I don't know how to get it to him.
I will be there tomorrow morning between 10-11 to get in line. Let me know if you want my contact and he can call me.

[phancypants]

WAIT!
Sorry, I don't have an extra ticket!
My friend gave our extra one away.
Sorry!

I am really glad we got our cards, too. We have decided to wait until Tuesday to vote because of all of the *stuff* going on at the early voting polls.

Early voting is not governed by the same "no electioneering" laws here in FL due to a glitch. The horror stories of shenanigans going on at the early voting polling places are on the news every day here. It's sick.

LOL! LOVE IT! Thanks!

We were wondering how that kind of stuff could happen. As Mr. D. is a county elected official we have always been cognizant of the no eletioneering within 100 feet etc. How ugly the Fla. frindge dems are!!!!!

P.S. You'll have freepmail in a few minutes :o)

[dutchess]

WAIT! Sorry, I don't have an extra ticket! My friend gave our extra one away. Sorry!

No problem. Got the number of the Franklin County Headquarters and also suggested he find a contact with an OSU Young Republicans Club. Can't wait to read an "after action report"...especially with your and Guffmans military card campaign! Be sure to take LOTS of pictures and post them here!
