Good grief!

[filbert]

Sorry for being reasonable.. I would like to get the facts and think for myself instead of listening to the media, but that is just me...

Once upon a time, that was the majority opinion on FreeRepublic. Perhaps one day it will again be so.

Good night, true friends of liberty. Your numbers are dwindling but you're not yet alone.

A young man had a seizure on the subway platform. This man and a social worker woman tended to him and got him upright. The young man leaned against a post and fell onto the tracks. AFter trying to get him up, the hero realized the train was coming closer and closer. He saw that there was a gully between the tracks so he asked the social worker to shield his two little girls from the sight and he jumped down onto the man, forced him into the gully and held him down as the train passed over them. The train brushed the hero's hat but they were safe. They had to stay under the train for about 30 min. till the turned off the third rail power.

The yound man was barely harmed and the hero........was, well.......a hero in the truest sense of the word.

Well said....he's a loser, though, in any descriptor chosen. It's so hard to believe that we've sunk (as a country) to allow this type of loser to be put in a position of trust and power.

"at the risk of being banned - STFU and leave like you've promised. Watch out for those jerking knees - they can cause long term damage."

How old are you?

[sam_paine]

It's over - the terrorists have won.

Typical moron leaving a tight game in the 3rd quarter to miss the traffic.

The President was terrific tonight. Absolutely terrific.

This should be a good shot in the arm for the admin.

[jazusamo]

so I'll go elsewhere now to try to find some reality.

Thank you.

[null and void]

My choice for post of the night.

*blush* Thank yew...

I have been hearing the discussion about her blinking her eyes. It wouldn't fit in her situation but I heard a doctor talking about blinking of the eyes. He said when a person was speaking if they blinked their eyes constantly, they were lying. She wasn't speaking but maybe she was thinking about her coming lies. LOL!

[BamaDi]

thank you thank you....i thought it was a great speech but if i had depended on what i've been reading tonight without actually seeing/listening to the SoftheU, I would have thought he bombed.....

[La Enchiladita]

Did you see Gibson interviewing Hitlery also? She looks like one of her front teeth is chipped.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Yeah, he does a LOT of bidness with commie China...

Aren't you thinking of Sen Feinstein's Husband....?

Those single persons who buy their own health insurance ... pay the total premium, no employer subsidy ... will be able to claim a $7,500 tax credit.

A $7500 tax credit, or up to a $7500 tax credit? Or is it a deduction? Was she clear?

[SoCalPol]

20 miles south of me are thosands of army troops in the streets.
There have been thousands of deaths and several beheadings.
I am in San Diego and speaking of Tijuana just south of me.

[CaliGirl-R]

I thought I heard Brit Hume say that Pelosi got chocolate on her outfit and had to change. I was washing windows while listening so I'm not sure.

[NittanyLion]

Melanie Hobson was just explaining (on ABC) how the proposed health care tax credit will work also. Those single persons who buy their own health insurance ... pay the total premium, no employer subsidy ... will be able to claim a $7,500 tax credit.

Will employer subsidies be treated as taxable income?

Our proposal is to round up all Republicans to chain them to the bumpers of all Democrat automobiles. This alternate energy program is the only fair way to bring about our international energy independence.

Hillary's idea is to reduce the speed limit back to 55 mph (true).

[nopardons]

Historically, blacks monolithically voted for the GOP, from the end of the Civil War until FDR, when some of them went Dem and then came JFK and his father's money....that bought a whole LOT of black votes and they've been stuck there, since; though not all of them.

Do you know that a black GOPer WOMAN from Chicago seconded Nixon's first winning presidential nomination, at the convention?

[KevinDavis]

Well you keep saying that you are leaving yet you come back.....
