Free Republic

I am not sure if I am posting this right but I will give it a shot. I received this e-mail asking for prayer for a military wife who has just been diagnosed with a late staged cancer. I know that many freepers believe in the power of prayer so I thought it a good idea to share this request with all of you. I received this from another Cookie and would ask if you would all please keep them in your prayers and pass it on. A friend of ours sent this to us. He knows this couple. This...

Freud, on his deathbed, asked, "What do women want?" The improbable answer, it now seems, may be George W. Bush. According to pollsters, the gender gap that usually helps Democrats is shrinking. The reason may be as simple as Bush himself: Post-9/11 pollsters say women prefer certitude and clarity to nuance and verbosity, staying alive to after-school programs. Democrats wail at the loss of their usual edge with women, at the irony of the National Guard slacker beating the Silver Star warrior on the issue of strength. But bluster and repetition have apparently prevailed, especially when John Kerry has said...

Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November. The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells West Virginians to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda." Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said Friday that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could...

How I wish that John Kerry had grown up in my old neighborhood in the Bronx. It drives me crazy that he doesn't have the street smarts to call those GOP bums out. He's got to be outraged. Not only have his combat-shy opponents stood idly by as their surrogates trashed his Vietnam War record, Vice President Dick Cheney, stooping to a despicable low, said a vote for Kerry was tantamount to a vote for Osama bin Laden and terrorism. Yes, Kerry is rightly pointing out in his stump speech that the war in Iraq is a deadly distraction from...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Baseball owners once passed up a chance to hire former colleague George W. Bush as the sport's commissioner, but now they're working hard to keep Bush at bat in the White House. More than a dozen current and former owners and family members are among the president's top re-election fund-raisers, an Associated Press review found. Seven are Bush "Rangers," each raising at least $200,000, and six are "Pioneers" who have brought in $100,000 or more. The Bush campaign also has received direct contributions from owners and executives of more than half of the sport's 30 teams, the...
