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...

Very good morning to ya!
No hurries, no worries, reply whenever you can.
Just have a great day, whatever you're up to!

Hi Rus..Unfortunately had to be AWOL this morning. Thanks for the steaming cup of coffee, another food for thought Our Daily Bread and PERFECT cartoon about the missing weapons. Hadn't seen that one but am saving it!

[dutchess]

Wow...you all were at the Finest pretty early! Glad you enjoyed John's essay. Having to deal with the MSM day in and day out....he is absolutely a breath of fresh air. Thanks for checking in!

[dutchess]

Hi Gail. Love your new coffee graphic! Cyber treat on its way to Rocky!

[dutchess]

Hi Meg...nice bumping into you. One more week and hopefully this nightmare of an election will be over!

[dutchess]

Thanks sistah. John is such a voice of reason during this INSANE election. BTW, just heard Mel Gibson on the Laura Ingram show re: the calif. PROP 71 stem cell initiative. HE WAS AWESOME...and is doing a massive ad campaign against it. GO MEL!

[dutchess]

Hi Texagirl! Don't work too hard today! Go GWB!

[dutchess]

Hi phancy! Did I read that your going to see GWB this week???? I had hoped to see him again in Dayton but unfortunately work is interfering. I honestly believe he's going to win BIG in Ohio!

[dutchess]

Oh that soundtrack is too funny. Perfect for the toon the mayor posted. Thanks for the laugh!

[dutchess]

WHERE did you get THIS one?! Look at that HAT!!!! LOL!

I found that on one of the Ohio goose hunting threads last week. Unfortunately I don't know who "doctored" it...but just had a feeling it would come in handy.

BTW...thanks again for the frypan graphic. Certainly has come in handy this fall! Prayers that we can post it one last time next week!

[dutchess]

Hi mrstank. You have a wonderful day to. Continued prayers for Mrtank and all our deployed men and women.

Mornin' to FR's Finest... and Thursday's JH2 My Two Cents. This is the type of October Surprise this country needs.

Way to go, John and dutchess!!!

'member the old "Whitewater Files" days at FR when there was soooo much corruption in the clintooooon administration, it took hundreds of posts just to list 'em all? Nowadays, it only takes two or three posts to state the obvious - Kerry, the Mainstream Media, and the DNC are self-imploding with all the traction they're trying to get from the misssing explosives story.

I love the smell of their goose being cooked in the morning.

John and dutchess, you've once again managed to

[phancypants]

Yeah, I'll be seeing him tomorrow in Columbus! I'm so excited, too!
I believe like you do, that he'll pull it off in Ohio!
The doors open tomorrow at 3, but we're going to show up in the late morning with a bunch of get-well cards for our wounded troops and let people fill them out who want to! I thought that would be a good way to get people involved in our project...
Ohio is BUSH COUNTRY!

[Pippin]

Hi, (((Dutchess))))!

I agree with JH2, on Nov. 2 Kerry will be fried by W!

Oh my...with everything happening...I tend to forget the Whitewater days...I still remember the day back then when I found FR...and how it kept my sanity through that, impeachment...the 2000 election debacle... WOW...another reminder to thank Jim Robinson once again!

[phancypants]

Hi, Pippin!
Whoo-hoo, it's almost Election Day!!
How are ya?

[dutchess]

Yeah, I'll be seeing him tomorrow in Columbus! I'm so excited, too!

Cool! I saw him in Troy a few months ago. It is an absolutely awesome experience!

but we're going to show up in the late morning with a bunch of get-well cards for our wounded troops and let people fill them out who want to! I thought that would be a good way to get people involved in our project...

What a wonderful idea! I'm sure you'll get a wonderful response. Thanks for all you and your group are doing to support our troops. And...looking forward to meeting you in person!

[dutchess]

I agree with JH2, on Nov. 2 Kerry will be fried by W!

I'm praying for a huge win so the election is over by Wednesday of next week! ((((((pippin))))))
