"Bob Beers. The finest Republican in the state of Nevada.

Along with the Tom McClintock & etc.. endorsements in California, what does that tell you?

His political "orientation" is rather evident as well.

Obama digging in, planting grass roots in Nevada
By J. Patrick Coolican
Published in the Sun on June 1, 2007


CARSON CITY — When the crowds stop cheering, and all the books have been sold and signed, and the squeals of young women go silent, Barack Obama will have to get down in the mud of electoral politics.

To win Nevada’s Jan. 19 caucus, the Democratic U.S. senator from Illinois must gather caucus-goers and get them to schools, community centers and other caucus sites to declare their support, often in the face of opposition.

Clinton makes the Vegas rounds
By J. Patrick Coolican


Published in the Sun on August 10, 2007


Sen. Hillary Clinton showed many sides of her well-developed political profile during a long day of campaigning Thursday in Nevada, weaving together big themes with policy details, occasional humor and Clintonesque empathy.

Never did she look more at home, though, more effortlessly herself, than when counterpunching on health care.

"more effortlessly herself"

eech, I'm gonna throw up.

Why no publicity about the event, I live in Las Vegas and could have rounded up a whole crowd to see Fred. Let’s get a bit better organized.

On that subject, what ever happened to the Old Freepers, all we have now is a bunch of inane, smart alec remarks when someone posts a good subject.

We used to have some real discussions, not sound bites, and smart a**ed remarks, what happened to the gray material on this site???

First, get signed up.

Second, kick in some bucks or buy some Fred Stuff!

Then, from the “Home”

look on the right side for “Host/Attend parties”

You can check for anything within 75 miles or you can plan your own!

Fred also picked up an endorsement from Tom McClintock, CA State Senator, a favorite of many CA Freepers.

Pressed in a live in studio interview with John Ziegler on KFI, Ann Coulter said she'll vote for Rep Hunter but believed the nominee will be only Rudy or Mitt. She criticized Rudy a lot, believing Hillary will defeat him easily.

In nothing short of bizarre, she dismissed Sen Thompson as not being as conservative as Rudy or Mitt because they had bigger challenges of being "conservative" in liberal states. She clearly has something against Fred but neither I nor the host could really get her to come clean.

"The Thompson steamroller is gaining speed.... Downhill."

From a supporter of a gay loving, rino infected, abortion supporting, liberal tax raising, gun-grabbing man named mitt... whose Conservative rhetoric and positions are not matched by any of his past governings.

That tells me all I need to know about Coulter's opinion on this issue. There are things to criticize about every candidate, and I don't like applying labels since there's not a commonly accepted defition of exactly what "conservative" is. But this is absurd.

I remember when the slogans were enthusiastic and uplifting.
