[beyond the sea]

After the corrupt sob was reelected, I became determined that I was gonna do all I could to see him impeached, so I wrote the forum software and launched the Free Republic forum in February 1997. I was the only poster for a few months, but I kept sending my URL to search engines and trolled the news groups by reposting articles from the forum and eventually I picked up a few readers... and eventually some of the readers got the courage to try posting.

This is a truly incredible story. There is a God.

I swear, if there were no FreeRepublic I seriously believe George Bush would not have been elected...... either time!

Dang straight there is a God! Welcome to the party!

As for the rest of it, I wish Jim would get rich off of this! He deserves it.

I swear, if there were no FreeRepublic I seriously believe George Bush would not have been elected...... either time!

I made it a point to tell Jim both of those things when I met him during his peregrinations this summer.

NO doubt about it.

Repeatedly, I have thought this mainly because of the constant references on the Internet. Whenever I do a search on current affair issues, Free Republic invariably pops up.

And more often than not, radio talk shows bring up topics that are being discussed on FR...some mention the reference some do not. But they are making FR their first stop before they start talking.

FR is hard wired into the nation's and indeed the world's communication matrix.
