John McCain, you treasonous bastard, I challenge you or any of your traitorous cohorts...

""WE" are the people on this forum who are going to be picking the next president of the United States, with or without you."

Then you better stop kissing up to McCain, cus' he isn't going to be the next president.

The one guy who could win, (and I don't know that I could vote for him since I don't know his position on many issues), is that guy on TV, Senator Fred Thomson.

Well, it's entertaining, but I wouldn't use it if I were doing a presentation, or writing a research paper.

Even entries that are not overtly political have glaring errors, e.g. the wiki on my favorite novel, Invisible Man.

Forget the fact that it is replete with grammatical and spelling errors, even the purported facts are wrong.

Though Raplh Ellison is seen as a Harlem Renaissance writer by many, the themes from Invisble Man break away from the movement's major theme of social accepatance and hope for the future.

Really?

I suppose you could say "some" consider Ralph Ellison to be part of the Harlem Renaissance.

Just as "some" would consider Richard Nixon to have been the sixteenth president of the United States, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire to have won WWI.

There are some people that believe lots of inaccurate information, but to say that "many" people believe Ralph Ellison was a Harlem Renaissance writer-even though he was merely five years-old when this artistic and cultural movement began, and had published his seminal work of fiction fifteen years after it had ended-is not only misleading, but is demonstrably false.

This is something that anyone who had a copy of the Norton Anthology of African-American Literature could tell you, but it's information that this brilliant Wikipedian apparently wasn't aware of.

I couldn't even begin to list all of the misinformation about the outer boroughs of New York City-in the Wiki about that subject-so I won't.

Anyway, sorry for the tirade.

It just annoys me when people cite Wikipedia articles as if they are authoritative sources on a particular subject.

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

We are going to need those articles, and some of those newbies are going to get quite an education.

[Howlin]

You are welcome to take that gamble.

I'll wager you lose.

[Soul Seeker]

So be it. :-)

[Howlin]

Knock off the "newbie" insult.

Lighten up; I made that remark to HER about all the Hillary bookmarks I have. She was replying to me.

And it is a fact that a LOT of newbies do NOT know what went on on this forum before they got here.

"The GOP is not the "only hope" this country has. In fact, JFK was more right than most present GOP critters. The HOPE is ultimately in God... and the sovereignty of our country. Conservative ... that is what the GOP is suppose to stand for. Not more conservative than frickin' lefty liberals... that's not good enough... it's not acceptable.

So stay home and let the Democrats win, which is what they are hoping for, btw. Then they can fast track us into the hell you see.

You need to get involved and help change the party. That is the way it is done my friend.

Did Mr. Robinson start this website? I had no idea.





ROTFLMAO!
Just in time: a GOOD laugh!

"Free Republic Opinion Poll: How would you vote if it's Hillary vs McCain in 2008?"

Well, clearly it wouldn't be Hilary. It would depend on who the third party guy was.

[Howlin]

If a candidate can't get 50% support on this site, he/she sure as he!! isn't going to get 50% in the elections.

That's preposterous.

This site is in no way, shape, or form representative of the GOP; in fact, just the opposite.

2006 CPAC Poll:

22% Allen
20% McCain
19% Giuliani
18% Rice
11% Allen, Frist, McCain
4% Owens, Romney, Santorum
5% Gingrich
2% Pataki
1% Hagel, Huckabee, Pawlenty, Santorum
0% Barbour

Hear hear!
I'm also upset at the guy sworn to uphold the Constitution that failed to VETO it. He punted in his duty to the likes of Ginsberg and Stevens.

[onyx]

LOL -- I haven't checked, but I would hope that Hillary's claim that she is named for Sir Edmond Hillary is in her bio --- when in fact, when Hillary was born, Edmond Hillary was an obscure bee keeper.

[TAdams8591]

I well remember. It was right before my birthday. It was THE BEST birthday present I ever got and I said so at the time.

And yes, I wish I had been on the net then.

Thereafter(as if I wasn't listening enough already), I listened constantly to talk radio and watched MSNBC the instant I got home from work.

[TAdams8591]

It was in response to a comment Howlin made and was directed at no one. Go back and read.

Allen was a good governor, but he's sort of the no-name Senator, who has been kinda wussie.

Lots of names get thrown around in the MSM and here, but I'm NOT buying any of it! First of all, the last Senator to be elected president was JFK and his father BOUGHT him that election. He was also a LOUSY president, who was about to lose re-election, which is WHY he was in Texas ( even with LBJ as VEEP, he WAS going to lose Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ), when he was assassinated. Senators has THE worst track record, when it comes to being elected president; bar none!

This far out, way back in '98, nobody, NOBODY was talking about then Governor George W. Bush running for president in '00. The GOP was talking with him/grooming him and NOBODY knew.

Personally, I am making NO grand pronounciomentos/predictions on WHO it'll be, for us, come '08; just who is NOT. :-)

The whole gist of McCain's half-baked argument for so-called reform is that he wants people to shut up about each other for thirty (or was it sixty?) days before an election. He also thinks that if individuals are limited in how much money they can give to a candidate, it will somehow remove the corrupting influences in politics. B.S. The real corrupting influence in politics has always been power.

I think H.R. 1606 would have a very good chance of passing if it ever comes up for a vote. Many politicians now have blogs and websites. Only an idiot would tell politicians not to talk about their opponents during an election, anyway. I think this comes from McCain's loss in the 2000 primaries. He's thin-skinned and doesn't like people saying things that could cost him votes, so this is his way of getting payback against the GOP leadership for "costing" him the election.

[Howlin]

which is what they are hoping for, btw. Then they can fast track us into the hell you see.

ROFLMAO!

Nice work.

[tina07]

I second that and will be doing the same as soon as I can.

[TheLion]

Thanks....I'm late to the party but came prepared!

[onyx]

BTTT!
Fast rack us into hell --- you said it and you're right!
