Free Republic

Sorry for the vanity. I hold back as much as possible until something is driving me nuts. We hear talk of Sarah Palin and others being "too polarizing". But here is a question I ask. Would you want to vote for a candidate that wasn't called polarizing by the media ? Would you want to vote for a candidate that Jon Stewart and Saturday Night Live would not make fun of. I remember when Mike Huckabee was interviewing Oliver Stone. How in the hell does a conservative get an interview with Oliver Stone ? Since then I have been thinking...

What was the dumbest reason you've heard people give to vote for Obama? Mine came from a 70-year male old who said, "I like the way he speaks. He sounds like Jack Kennedy."

Vanity: Message to the Forum on Election Eve Dear Forum - With the election finally upon us tomorrow, there are number of things to consider: 1. The national polls These polls are all over the place, many outside the margin of error from one another. This is very unusual, as polls typically converge within a point of one another by election day. Regardless of the outcome, some polling firms will end up having been VERY WRONG. Throughout the past weeks, myself and others have dissected these polls and found their ridiculous assumptions and oversampling of Democrats to be wanting, to...

Here's what is almost guaranteed to happen tomorrow. Just remember, you heard it here first. By about 8AM, the creeps will highlight lawsuits being filed by the ACLU, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton etc pointing out "massive" voter intimidation and possible Republican rigging of voting machines. The MSM will tell us all day about the unprecedented number of voters showing up to vote for Obambi. They will use BS exit polls to say Obama is way out in front and McCain looks to be in huge trouble. They will try and call this election very early for Obama and will then...

Another Worthless Vanity I know.. I work Nights, so I'll wake up, Download the Rush Podcast, and then Listen to it. I finish work up at 6:30 am Cst, so plenty of time to get to the Polls. One of my favorite things Rush does is the Tomorrow we meet at Dawn bit. None of the polls matter, none of the pundits mean sht, lie to the exist polsters, the real test is the Fight at the ballot box.You get out there and make the other poor b-stard lose the election! Like the Great One says, We have Men and...

We all know more than a few-- Dems who support 0. Reasoning makes them stubborn. Warning them angers, begging reassures them. But, there may yet be a way to breech the walls. Try this: "So you're voting for Obama?" "Oh yes, (blah blah blah)." "Well, he might win. That's too bad for Hillary." "Why so? " "Well you know, if Obama wins he'll probably get two terms, and then the pendulum will swing back. Or he might get booted after one, it's going to be a rough four years no matter who is in there. If Obama's fixed the economy,...

WOW. Hannity is soo pissed tonight. lol. i'm glad he is just tearing down Obambi!

I gave up on network news channels back in the '80s. I enjoyed CNN at the start and thought that they did a credible job for several years. They really pi$$ed me off during the '94 campaign when their political guru Bob Franken called the Republican agenda,(the contract for America), The contract on America. That was pure political propaganda. It has gotten much worse since then.

Rush just said Todd Palin and Joe the Plumber are what's right with America. Amen!

Folks, a couple different citizens have now filed to join Berg's federal lawsuit challenging Obama's presidential eligibility. Question: Would it be helpful for dozens/hundreds of citizens to file to join Berg's lawsuit? Can it be turned into a class action? Is it possible? My thinking is that such a move might generate and urgency, and MIGHT even force the MSM to cover it if enough citizens become involved. Thoughts? MM

Rush is LIVID! and rightly so. He is slaming commentators for last nights shameful portrayal of John McCains debate. Rush said that McCain delivered everything that "they" wanted, yet they turn on him. Go Rush. Well Done John!!!

How much can a good, hard-working plumber earn in a year? I have no idea. Maybe some Freepers do. What are some other unglamorous jobs, that don't require a college degree, that pay well?

This poll on MSNBC explains to me why McCain always loses these after-debate polls. Notice how many people voted for Obama. But more importantly look how many people voted for MCCain compared to not voting for another choice. Explains it all to me. I hope it explains things for others as well.

Campaign jingle: Joe-the-Plummer that's the name, He just sent Obama's chances down the drain. Joe: Here, Hero McCain fix'd that for ya. McCain: Are you the Joe, Sarah was talking about?

Frankly I am really disgusted with the horrible analysis by the Fox News "round table" of pundits. 1. They set McCain up before he ever debates by assuming that he is down by some large amount, which isn't true in all of the polls. So therefore he needs a "knockout", which who the heck knows what that is. 2. If these idiots were actually truly following this race and providing good analysis they should have said that while McCain did not score a "knockout" he should have both pleased his base and possibly opened some new attack fronts with the...

A month to go and we are playing into their hands, and not without a little help. One of the idiosyncracies of FR is the News thread titles are required to be the actual article titles. Hence I'm putting this in News, because this is where the problem lies. If anyone was to sample the article titles covering the election, they would find them to be overwhelmingly negative with respect to Senator McCain and Governor Palin. Just take a quick mental sampling of what we have seen recently - and how often a "Barf Alert" or the like needs to...

I just don't get it! While today I see increasing calls from this space and Rush's space to urge McCain to name names, McCain got a new ad on his website titled "Week" that is weak to say the very least. He said in the ad with a smile "Democrates blamed Republicans, Republicans blamed the Democrates, but we are the United States of America." No sense of urgency, no sense of fight. Wow, maybe this ad will push him over the top! I wrote on his website blog that "The country is in a monumental crisis and people are angry....

I've counted five threads in the last 24 hours speculating on Joe Biden dropping out and Obama naming Hillary Clinton as his new running mate. I've probably missed a few.

Stick a fork in me

There is no point to electing Pro-Family, Pro-Life, Pro-Free Speech, Pro-Second Amendment candidates anymore. At least, that's what we're essentially being told by the Rudy Giuliani for President crowd. The candidates themselves have no impact on such issues, we're told, and so we shouldn't take that into consideration when choosing whom to elect. Yes, the Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Gun, Pro-Free Speech voters should not take their respective issues to the voting booth. They are issues that can be addressed simply by nominating judges. That's all that matters. So we're told. So this is where the Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Gun, Pro-Free Speech crowd...
