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!

Fake Pollgasms linked to Rats' electile dysfunction -- study
by JohnHuang2

Wow! We just passed 300 million! At exactly 7:46 a.m. EDT Tuesday, the clock rolled over to the big figure -- 300 million times the press has told us Democrats will win back Congress! What an amazing milestone. Press "reports" that Democrats were 'poised to win back Congress' began approximately 8 or 9 seconds after the GOP won back Congress. Twelve years ago. In the fall of '96, Democrats were still 'poised to win back Congress.' In the fall of '98, Democrats were still 'poised to win back Congress,' as they were in the fall of 2000, 2002, and again in 2004. Democrats are now poised to rack up their 6th term of not having won back Congress.

But! The press says Democrats are really fired up this time, like never before -- I guess that's why Air America just filed for bankruptcy. First it was North Korea's nuke, then it was Air America -- that's two bombs from the Left in a week.

Voter turnout for Democrats during this year's primaries amounted to 16%. Armed with this knowledge, the New York Times says "enthusiasm among Democrats is particularly high this year, significantly higher . . . than the intensity of Republicans." They must be basing this on those sterling exit polls.

If you look at it historically, Franklin Roosevelt got his clock cleaned by Republicans in the 1938 midterm. It was the sixth year of his presidency. Popular Dwight Eisenhower got a shellacking from Democrats in the 1958 midterm. It was the sixth year of his presidency. Immensely popular President Reagan lost the Senate in the 1986 midterm. It was the sixth year of his presidency. Yeah, it's a mystery why Bush will lose seats in his sixth year.

Democrats need a net gain of 15 seats in the House in order to usher in world peace, surrender in Iraq, surrender to the Taliban, shut down Gitmo, repeal tax cuts, repeal the Patriot Act, block funding for border control, fund stem cell research, end faith-based programs, draw up articles of impeachment, end climate change, stop Wal-Mart, impeach Bush.

Democrats need a net gain of 6 seats in the Senate to imprint with a rubber stamp whatever junk the House passes and put Bushigula on trial for "spying" on innocent al-Qaeda-Americans, tracking terrorist financing, killing ABM, killing Kyoto, killing the global criminal court, snookering John Kerry with yellow-cake, booting out Saddam and other serious abominations.

With the Nancy Pelosi set in charge in the House, no more suggestive IMs to underage adult ex-pages. It'll be back to business as usual -- raping teenage pages and running gay call-boy prostitution rings from their Washington pads. When Democrats ran the show, then Congressman Gerry Studds (DEMOCRAT-Mass.), who died over the weekend, did a teen page. Democrats praised him for not crossing the line into sending the page "overly friendly" notes. He got a wrist slap. Studds, who wrote a new page in history as the first openly pederast Congressman, turned his back on the House when his "censure" motion was being read. All across America, gay child molesters -- those not castrated -- gave Studds a standing ovation.

(Democrats refer to Studds as a "martyr" -- which means they probably think he's in paradise meeting his 72 virgin teens.)

Democrats couldn't bring themselves even to 'censure' Rep. Barney Frank -- whose boyfriend was running a prostitution ring from Frank's pad. A motion to "censure" Frank failed, even after Harry Reid "amended" the charges from 'sick, sick, sick behavior' to 'mildly ill behavior.'

If you look at the big picture, every prediction that 'Democrats are poised to win back Congress' is based on polls. Nothing new there. Based on polls, Colorado GOP Senator Wayne Allard was declared 'dead' in 2002. He won decisively.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Polls showed Saxby Chambliss could never beat Vietnam war hero Sen. Max Cleland. Chambliss beat him.

Georgia Gov. Ray Barnes was 'coasting' to reelection in the polls. He lost. Georgia got its first GOP governor since 1872 -- despite very "reliable" polls. Republican Mitt Romney was "too conservative" for one of the most liberal bastions in America. No chance of winning there, according to polls. He won.

DNC honcho Terry McAuliffe said "Jeb Bush is gone!" Payback for 2000. Polls. Jeb Bush won, 56% to 43%. Texas Democrat Senate candidate Ron Kirk won handily in the polls. He lost to John Cornyn at the ballot box. Polls showed Katherine Harris couldn't win in Florida's District 13. Payback for 2000. She won. Polls showed Walter Mondale was a shoo-in for the Senate in Minnesota. Former presidential candidate. Can't lose. He lost. Republican Linda Lingle couldn't win the race for governor of Hawaii, polls showed. She did.

Elizabeth Dole? Polls showed her opponent Erskine Bowles couldn't lose. Former Clinton chief of staff. Businessman. He lost. In Maryland, Democrat candidate for governor Kathleen Kennedy . . . WAIT -- STOP RIGHT THERE. A Kennedy -- lose? Against Robert what's-his-face? She lost.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shockingly, polls weren't much better at predicting anything in 2004. Howard Dean's "unstoppable" -- polls. "Electable" Kerry -- polls. Unpopular war. David Kay's "We were all wrong" Senate testimony. Abu-Ghraib. Fallujah. Bush sinking -- polls. Bombings, kidnappings and ambushes in Iraq. Bush sinks further -- polls. TANG documents. Richard Clarke. Report by 9/11 Commission. Al-Qaqaa "missing" explosives. Bush totally sunk -- polls. Bush "loses" 3 debates -- polls. Kerry calls Mary Cheney a "lesbian." Christians vow to stay home, according to polls. Bush and the lesbian's father go on to win the election. Most polls were only wildly off.

Pollsters couldn't even do exit polls of ACTUAL VOTERS right. John Zogby had horseface trouncing Bush in his last projection -- late in the afternoon, Election Day. So, yeah, we can really trust these guys.

Now polls are showing Democrats are revved up and ready to go vote. But even if true, it wouldn't matter since Democrats are still too stupid to know where to vote.

"There is a huge potential for some sort of October surprise," Zogby tells Reuters. There's a huge potential for some sort of November "surprise," too. It's called Republicans winning the elections. The good money is still on the GOP.

Anyway, that's...

My two cents

A Gratitude Visit

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Romans 16:1-16

I commend to you Phoebe, . . . for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also. —Romans 16:1-2

Counting your blessings promotes good physical health, according to a study by some US doctors. Volunteers who kept weekly gratitude journals reported fewer aches and pains than those who recorded daily hassles or neutral events.

A "gratitude visit" was developed by Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman to promote strong emotional health. He tells people to think of someone who has made an important difference in their lives. He asks them to write the story of how that person has helped them, and then to visit that person and read the story aloud. Tests show that a year later the people who had done so were happier and reported fewer episodes of depression. Even more important, think of what it must have done for those who were thanked!

The apostle Paul had a long list of people who had helped him and for whom he was grateful (Rom. 16:1-16). He wrote that Phoebe had "been a helper," Priscilla and Aquila had "risked their own necks" for his life, and Mary had "labored much" for him. And he took time to write his thanks in a letter to the church at Rome.

Who has helped to shape your life? Could you make a gratitude visit—for their sake, and for yours? —Anne Cetas

Consider what the Lord has done
Through those who've shown you love;
Then thank them for their faithful deeds,
For blessings from above.  —Sper

Gratitude should not be an occasional incident but a continuous attitude.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 56-58; 2 Thessalonians 2

[The Mayor]

Fantastic!

Thank you

ELECTILE DYSFUNCTION......

that has got to hurt. You are so clever JohnHuang2.

[stopem]

Good Morning!

eLectile dysfunction........LOL
Did YOU coin that phrase yourself? :)

[Diver Dave]

OUTSTANDING presentation in word and graphics.

Word on the street says the dems have booked appointments all the way into 2008 with mental health case workers throughout the land seeking help in dealing with all their losses. Harry and Nancy are seen walking down the street, kicking a can, talking to themselves, asking "why?" They're just too stupid to figure it out for themselves that nobody likes 'em or their left-wing ideas.

[MHGinTN]

I had bets with raving liberal democrats in 2000, 2002, and 2004. I won all those bets and have yet to hear from a single one of the deceitful liberals. Typical, lose and don't pay up. Somehow, I suspect the liberal leftist media whoredom edumacation campaign has worked with the demcorfat voters, but no one else. I wonder, when Republicans retain control of House and Senate, what will the lamestream media fools like Russert and Matthews say this time?... Another temper tantrum by the voters? Democrats and their media whores never seem to get it, John. It takes adults to protect America, and there aren't any in the democrap party leadership or their media whore cast.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Dutchess.

Thank you for today's Two Cents Thread.
Beautiful presentation, as always. :)

Have a Terrific Thursday.

[JustAmy]

Excellent, JH2.

I keep hearing about us losing every office in November.
Thank you for helping us remember the polls in past elections.

[W. W. SMITH]

[Majie Purple]

Give me a G* Give me an O*Give me a P* What's that spell? Victory*Victory*Victory*!!!

[Billie]

Rivendell and W.W. Smith, I saw your posts about your daughter and your son, respectively, serving in the military and have added them to my prayer list. Know you are very proud, and we are very grateful for their service.

[Billie]

Can't stop laughing at the TITLE, let alone the content! Too clever, John! Your illustrations are spot on, dutchess.

[Majie Purple]

[GodBlessUSA]

Excellent thread! It's positive. Reading Air America filed for bankruptcy made my day! :)
