I sure saw all of those posts, Peach, and it was infuriating. If I had the time, I'd go back and find those posts from so-called FRiends who were advocating not voting or voting in a Dem just to teach the Republicans a lesson. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Jim Robinson wrote the foreward for a book called Hillary's Secret War. The freeper who wrote the book detailed how sites like FR and Lucianne were inundated by newbies coming here from places like the Clinton WH and The Washington Post during the 1990's.
They pretended to be conservatives and stirred dissent among freepers. I think we're seeing a lot of that now because we can't possibly have this many stupid freepers who are entirely too busy tearing down Republican candidates and the party in general.
I was just checking my e-mails and found this in my inbox from a friend in the lower 48. Here it is:
WHY I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER !!!
The Democrats now promise "A New Direction For America"
Well............................

A new direction from there means, what?
Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced
in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead
or in custody, cooperating with US Intel.
A new direction from there means, what?
Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel,
including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks.
A new direction from there means, what?
Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the
shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here.
A new direction from there means, what?
Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect:
The economy to go South
Illegals to go North
Taxes to go Up
Employment to go Down
Terrorism to come In
Tax breaks to go Out
Social Security to go Away
Health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone
But what the heck!
I can gain comfort by knowing that Nancy P, Hillary C, John K, Edward K, Howard D, Harry R and Obama have worked hard to create a comprehensive National Security Plan, Health Care Plan, Immigration Reform Plan, Gay Rights Plan, Same Sex Marriage Plan, Abortion On Demand Plan, Tolerance of Everyone and Everything Plan, How to Return all Troops to the U.S. in The Next Six Months Plan, A Get Tough Plan, adapted from the French Plan by the same name and a How Everyone Can Become as Wealthy as We Are Plan.
I forgot the No More Katrina Storm Plan.
Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I am going to be able to sleep so much better at nights knowing these dedicated politicians are thinking of me and my welfare.
