Free Republic

Washington — Long regarded as President George W Bush's greatest and most untouchable political asset, Laura Bush has finally been dragged into the chaos embroiling her husband's administration. The First Lady played a key role in his controversial decision to nominate Harriet Miers, a close family friend who she first met at university in Texas, as a Supreme Court judge, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. That decision has sparked the most serious crisis of Mr Bush's almost five years in office. Mrs Bush personally backed Ms Miers for the vacancy on the country's highest court after lobbying publicly for a woman to replace the retiring Sandra...

Yes it is. At least when it comes to hating Bush and you Nazis. Nahh. I don't advocate violence. That's for Bush and you scum who love killing Iraqi children. You are not welcome in my business, though, and I encourage all rational people not to let any Bush supporters in their business. We don't want your money. Try and find Nazi Germany. Maybe they will take it. We live in squalor now. Horrible economy, natural devastation with government laughing; we are international pariahs. Are there any decent people here who will join me in condemning this horrible administration?

Dear Mr. President, I never imagined a day would come when I would disavow a Republican President, but that day is here. With your selection of Harriet Miers today, you have betrayed your word, you have betrayed me and you have betrayed every social conservative who ever worked on your behalf. This was a historic opportunity for you to deliver on your campaign promises and finally give us a nominee in the vein of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Instead you fumbled. We know Michael Luttig, Edith Hollan Jones, or Janice Rogers Brown are reliably conservative. We have no such...

In FR News today, the forum formerly known as “Free” Republic went downhill at an amazing speed. Moderators insanely restrict the postings of fellow conservatives and this long time FReeper JesseP will have no more. The $72,000 pledge drive, told to me by Jim Robinson himself is primarily going to fund his personal expenses along with two of the mods. In other words when the wife receives a gift, it is paid for by fellow FRreepers donations. This Ex FReeper will now be calling his bank and canceling the donation made this weekend and it is suggested that others do...

From the Roundtable Discussion: Definitely a political problem but I wonder, George Will, do you think it’s a manageable one for the White House especially if we don’t know whether Fitzgerald is going to write a report or have indictments but if he is able to show as a source close to this told me this week, that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were actually involved in some of these discussions.

Take a look at these polling numbers of the gebric congressional voting preference: Newsweek: Democrats 50 GOP 38 Pew: Democrats 52 GOP 40 Fox News: Democrats 38 GOP 35 Not even Fox News could manufactire a GOP lead. Is there any way the Democrats won't take back Congress? I don't see how. Do you think we can protest the Democratic government or something?
