Free Republic

This is the first time I have come here because I believe this is the most important election in our history. We cannot take the chance of it going the wrong way!!

I see that many are sending their wishes to FREEPERS and I wanted to also. I have enjoyed reading and posting to everyone this couple of years and just wanted to let everyone know that I learned so much and appreciate it. So I would like to just say Merry Christmas to you and your family from Bob, Julie, Nick, Kyle and Alex. Thank you.

Reach into your pocket and contribute. We have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise $5 million for a monument of Bill Clinton. We originally wanted to put him on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for two more faces. We then decided to erect a statue of Bill Clinton in the Washington, DC Hall Of Fame. We are having a bit of difficulty as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Jesse...

I think I know a certain cop who'll find coal and sticks under his Christmas Tree this year.

There's been a lot of talk lately that the Dem Class of 2006 is much more conservative than its leadership [Pelosi, Hastings, Schumer, etc]. So I thought I'd start a thread, trying to see whether there might be a substantial number of 2006 DEMs who are as conservative or maybe even more conservative than the GOPers [RINOs] that they replaced. These would be the kind of people that Dubyah could "work with", like he worked with in the Texas legislature - assuming that Dubyah is still interested in any sort of a conservative agenda [and granted, that might not be...

Based on many comments I have recently read after Rudy Guiliani announced formation of an Exploratory Committee, it is obvious that there are many marginally republican voters who really don't care about conservative principles or about the health and life of the GOP. Many, sadly, have a win at all costs attitude, and that is exactly why we now are the minority party in both houses of Congress. We do not have to elect, and should not elect, a Rudy RINO Republican. It's not just that Rudy Guiliani is not a conservative, he's not even close. Bush is twice is...

We are told a lot about how Bush, while Governor of Texas, worked with Democrats. Of course, in Texas the Democrats didn’t exactly have San Francisco values which are the hard-left values of the current Democratic leadership that now controls Congress. The reasons Bush worked with Democrats really had less to do with agreement then with his personality. Republican and conservative are not synonymous. Bush was then, and is now, in the vein of a Governor Schwarzenegger of California today, and working with the Democrats was really about giving the Democrats what they want – when faced with an opposition...

Since Tuesday almost all of us have been saddened and angered because we lost Congress to the 'Rats. Why? How did our united, magnificent victory in 2004 end up achieving so little and lead us to defeat in 2006? There are many reasons, but tonight I focus on ONE. IMHO the term "RINO" is overused. While looking at an ACU rating list I noticed only one Republican Senator with a score below 50 and below any 'Rat Senator - Chafee. I felt he was the only Senate RINO. But there is another -- far, far worse. He had a lifetime...

You hear all about how great chucky was but two people made the ultimate difference. Emily Miller former powell aide who outed abramoff to the fbi. She was married to scanlan and he cheated on her and she was outed them both. The abromoff scandal played huge in montana. The left wing groups ran non stop ads bashing him. Montana in exit polls 60 percent said burns was hiunethical. In Montana burn's ethics were more important than even the war. Montana voters will give you a break as long as they trust you and the abromoff smear finished burns. That...
