Why don’t you take your insults and your tiny little brain and go stuff them somewhere like the nearest sewer. Oh I forgot, you mouth is the nearest sewer.

Do you think they play banjos and walk around barefoot in Rush’s home state? or in St Louis? however, we do have alot of well known conservatives living here or from here; Kit Bond, Roy Blunt, Matt Blunt, Ashcroft, Danforth, Emory Melton and more
Rush and David are from Missouri..cant get much more conservative.
I stand by my post that California has abused our military recruiters, booed the boy scouts at the dem convention, home of the black panthers, were or did deny benefits to their national guard; fought homeschooling; san fran is home to gays and their mayor did not want the military planes to even fly over his city.
NOW, because I dont agree with or dispute posts...it seems to me that the mission to defeat McCain is a liberal position when I look at the other two candidates.
Fact is that California is viewed by many as a leftwing state

I agree with TCats, you would be better served working on Osama Obama’s campaign working for the new Liberal dictatorship of America rather than spending time insulting Freepers and their opinions.

Do you support global warming regulation, taxing greenhouse gases, or a cap-and-trade program?

A simple yes or no will do.

He finally answered when asked also by NormsRevenge.
Something about total surrender to the eco-communists.

“He finally answered....”

Do you think everyone is liberal in Reagan's home state? and Rush's "adopted" home state where his radio career was launched?

California has not abused military recruiters. In fact Californian has more military bases and more men serving in uniform than any other state by a huge margin. Do you have an idea how BIG California is? Do you think the tiny town of Berkeley has any significance whatsoever? What are the politics like in downtown St. Louis in the neighborhood where a cop warned me not to walk in broad daylight or I'd get mugged?

5.5 million Californians voted for Bush in the last Presidential election, how many did your state contribute. California has sent 19 Republicans to Congress this term. How many has Missouri contributed? Just 5?

Fact is that California is viewed by many as a leftwing state

Fact is that Missouri is viewed by many as a backward-ass hillbilly state.

Thanks for that broad brush. Real classy.

You may have been around here awhile but it is obvious you don’t have a clue of who is doing what in California and to whom or where FRee Republic sprung into being from.. again thanks for demonstrating that you can spew with the best of them.

We welcome European leadership to make the world a better and safer place.

A good place to start: Killing jihadis with extreme prejudice an without regard for "winning hearts and minds."

Katie—California is home of Ronald Reagan and FreeRepublic. There are millions of conservatives in this state. Your painting California as only the home of the crazies in San Fran and Oakland, or the black power movement of 40 years ago shows an astounding ignorance of the politics in this state. Trying to sum up the state by citing actions at a democrat convention is also a curious statement.

California has 5.2 million registered Republicans — 4.2 million of those Republicans did NOT vote for John McCain. Many Republicans in California see McCain as another Schwarzenegger Republican—ready to unleash destructive environmental law on the nation, pandering to illegal aliens more than American citizens, and too willing to bend over for liberals on the other side of the aisle on a host of other issues. Schwarzenegger has been able to advance the liberal agenda far more rapidly than any Democrat could have dreamed of.

If you would like to accept that liberalism, there is probably little we can do about it. But pleeze—quit bashing conservatives because it doesn’t support your partisan view of the world.

I began reading posts on Free Republic around 2001. I know that Jim is from California and I know he runs a great site. I remember when the freepers helped prove Rather’s accusations against Bush by the “fonts’ and I was so glad they played a role in exposing Rather for his lies. I love and appreciate many of the freepers and one of my favorites is Melanie Morgan. Snapples satire was hilarious and I also found alot more out on the ms-13 gangs and the borders.
As for California..my husband was stationed in San Diego and so was my father. My husband graduated from Hollywood High. I have a sister in law living near San Clemente and a daughter in law from LA. She fled the area due to crime.
I have lived in Washington State, NJ, Alabama, Tenn, Va before I was 5 due to my father being in the military. I am not from MO...lol. I moved here several years ago and I confess to loving the Ozarks, the rivers, lakes and small town life. MO has its problems with Meth and gov blunt has done a great job dealing with it.
There is alot of spewing going on and if I get banned..it will make you and your friend, Calcowgirl happy. If I get banned..so be it. I pointed out alot of truths about her posts and she has every right to post them but also, freepers have the right to differ and question.
Words flew from both sides and of course there are some good people living in Calif...I am related to some but I still would not want to live there and I do feel they have treated our military recruiters and the Navy poorly...NOT all Californians but too many!!
As for who you support...I have no clue but I believe with McCain having a 83% rating by the ACU and Hillary having a 9% rating..there is a huge difference between the 2 candidates...the math is 74% higher rating for McCain!
Take care and I wont bother you again.

"You’re shilling for McCain..."

So many deluded McCainiacs and so little time.

As I said on another thread, "To see how far this great nation has fallen, all one need do is look at the three "leading" presidential candidates, a sorry collection of losers unfit to hold any federal office of importance." And yet again: "What a truly wonderful choice of candidates America has been given for its next President. A lying, scheming former First Lady who ought to be in federal prison along with her impeached accused rapist husband, a fast talking "hate America" slickster who has refused to wear an American flag pin as do other Senators, and a worn out RINO who co-authored restrictions on free speech, has done everything possible to support amnesty and favorable treatment of illegal aliens, and who won't think twice about supporting measures which will dilute American sovereignty in favor of NWO internationalism (criminal courts and Law of the Sea Treaty)."

I would suggest to katiedidit1 that she do some indepth research on John McCain (aka "Captain McQueeg"). If that doesn't sway her, then she will have pegged herself as no true conservative but, rather, a party above principle Big Tent "just win, baby" RINO.

The truly sad fact is, that the choice we have been given is really no choice at all. None of the three candidates is fit to be president--none.

Don’t flatter yourself, you were never a bother to begin with, ;-)

You just have a very narrow range of vision that keeps you so focussed on being partisan to a fault, you miss a lot and read into others posts what isn’t there but you think is..

stick around, maybe you’ll learn something eventually.
