That debacle led to me finding and signing up for FreeRepublic.
I’m glad it happened.
Me too. Only the second time in my life I’d ‘held a sign’! :)
Same here. It’s why I joined FR.
I signed up on election day that year. I missed my 10 year anniversary.
Me too!!!!
Maybe THAT moment in history was the catalyst beginning of the beginning that the Tea Party subsequently sprang forth from...
Ditto here. I always say to people who ask me about my "political baptism" that two events got me locked in: 1) the recount and 2)9/11.
The third was the war in 2003. I used to listen to a sports radio show from 9a-12n PST, and when it became all antiwar all the time, I began looking for an alternative. I found it not far up the dial, from 570 (Jim Rome) to 640 (Rush Limbaugh). I, as a black man, had heard a lot about Rush, but only what the driveby media told me. I started listening then, and I've been hooked ever since.
Been here ever since. Freeped till 2am the night after the 2004 election. Freeped from India on Wednesday morning of the 2006 midterm (which was Tuesday night here in the states). Turned the computer off completely at 8pm pst when it was clear that Zero won. Twas the best of times, twas the worst of times, twas some buggered times...been at FR for lots of it!
