That was good!! I also sent them an e-mail, but not as informative as yours was! Im so sick of cable news, because I think it is a shame that we dont get the truth about anything! I remember when I was young, we only had a couple of over the air stations, and they were in black and white, but they at least told the truth!! They always just told the news, and they were free!! America has changed since then, and I have to wonder?? What happened to the truth!! Now, we have to pay for news!! Now its Bogus!! Whats next??? ( I dont wanna really know)!!
LOL :) Probably a t-shirt at Cafepress with that on it right now. Maybe I a new commerical--have a bunch of diverse people stating: "I am Joe the Plumber" like the "I am an American" commercials.
He hasn't invited me yet...
Looks good. I agree — he just doesn’t explain it well enough!
“McCain wins debate!!!!!
(did i post this too soon?)”
You were CORRECT!!
Thanks for posting that. I never realized he was a leftie on the social issues.

That's the kind of thing that REALLY drags down a candidate. Keep it up, Obama!
Kind of like Algore's sighs...
Let's see here...
Sex warfare... check!
Class warfare... check!
Party warfare... check!
It would seem everything is in order over at CNN. (Although I wonder why they didn't do race warfare too... or is that still taboo?)

OK, I was not going to respond, but I did what you said...looked at your posting record, and I owe you an apology. It is worth going back on what I said I would not do, respond, to give you an apology.
You have been a member of Free Republic since November of 2000, and your posts have been honorable from what I could see.
My problem is... I can’t understand what in the world you were taking up with me as you were. The comments were coming out of nowhere land it seemed.
I have been here since 1998 and have never had anyone accuse me of being too conservative OR too liberal. I am Republican, and I am conservative. However, my parents were split, one democrat (fortunately prolife though) and one republican, and I loved them both and have always seen both sides (except for abortion where I am pro-life all the way), but I have always voted Republican no matter what, even though I lived as an adult in Northern Virginia for 25 years (although I ALMOST voted for Lloyd Benson and always liked Tip O’Neil because he looked like my dad!) I grew up in a blue collar working UNION coal-produced power plant working home in a democratic area (Regan Democrat but democrat never-the-less area), and I have lived among well-to-do Republican families in Washington D.C. I am a home schooling mother, and I am a Christian — a wife of a SBC music minister who is also a freelance commercial / studio musician (and if that isn’t a double sided sword, I don’t know what is). My daughter was the VP of the democrat part at her small college, and I was proud of her (the VP part, not necessariy the democrat part! LOL). My other daughter is a conservative Republican. My sixteen year old son says he is going to be an independent.
Just because I feel the Fox News Network was totally biased — TOTALLY biased tonight and see this as a part of the direction they have been going for a while now, does NOT mean I want Obama for President nor does it mean I want to be spoon fed NOR does it mean I am going to act in such a way that all television news just disappears. It is that “not wanting to be spoon fed” that has me so upset about Fox this evening! They were spoon feeding us, and it wasn’t good food either!
That said, although your comments on this thread may have appeared odd to me, doing a search of your posts have led me to understand I was wrong about what I took as your intentions.
Please accept my apologies for misunderstanding, at the very least, your point of view.
And... while I did not live up to what I said-—that I would not respond, I felt it was worth it to let you know I was wrong about you.
I STILL think Fox needs to experience some consequences on their ratings though so they will think before they act in a destructive way the next time they have a tough choice to make!
Feel free to have the last word though. :)
I also tried to send my creation to McCain, but his “Mail quota exceeded.” I hope that’s a good sign and I’ll try again later.
good...Hugh Hewitt has a very good summary of the debate on his site...a very good night for McCain!
Occasionally Hugh Hewitt drives me nuts, but on things like this I love his optimism.
Nope, his color isn’t the issue, but the statement is the truth.
I likened the pundants after debate to preachers who can take a text out of a bible turn it into something they want it to mean.I was wondering if they even knew how many times Barack lied tonight? didnt seem to faze any of them on all sides shameful
what are u talking about ? I have been to rallies they are huge mccain hasnt lost a thing we havent voted yet! maybe that is what they are trying to get u to do stay home dont do it go out and vote for mccain
Thank you for the email address I just wrote to them.
Thank you.
I accept your apology. I’m sorry for resorting to name calling.
As an attorney, I always like having the last word. :-)
I don’t disagree with you about the panel being wrong, and it sickened me, too. Although you have to admit we’re not exactly unbiased. We are desperately wanting McCain to win for the sake of ourselves and this country.
I respectfully disagree that they have some kind of hidden agenda. I do think a lot of these people have been doing their jobs so long in Washington that they become part of the media elite, and it appears that some of them are not as conservative as we would like.
I do agree that you and everybody else who disagrees with them should let them know.
I just worry what would happen if we didn’t have somebody like Hannity and many others out there fighting for us on TV. And boycotting them, on the heels of Obama saying that Fox has cost him 2-3% in this polls and grousing about it, would seem to be counterproductive if it leads to Fox’s demise. Obama would love that, especially if he becomes president.
As to differing points of view, I want to hear them, because I want to know if there’s something McCain’s weak about, so I’m not unrealistically believing something is terrific, if it may not be perceived that way by others. It might actually help McCain for him to know his blind spots, so he can tailor his message to address them and reach the brains of the undecided dolts who will decide this election.
