    Democrats-Communist Link Revealed Here Here is a snapshot of the Website of the Communist Party USA: Notice the Link to anti-American group, Moveon.org in the lower left corner: Now see this picture of Algore from the website of Moveon.org. As you may recall, he gave a speech to the members of Moveon.org last week: Now tell me, if this evidence of complicity between the Democrats and the Communists is not enough, what is? If someone here has contacts at FoxNews, may be we can get them to carry it.

    I want to kick off a grass-roots movement to educate and inform discerning Democrats about the real nature of their party and am soliciting suggestions from Freepers. The reasons I am doing this are several, as listed below: * I have several conservative Democrat friends who have always voted D, but who disagree with the stance of their party on issues like AA, tax-cuts, and regulations. * These people do not understand that regardless of the "moderate" local Dem candidate they vote for, the party agenda is driven in Congress by an extremely liberal faction of the party. * Case...

    Dean is Toast; Russert skewered him on MTP Please post your impressions of this morning's Meet the Press. Here are some revelations about Dean that Russert dug up, thanks to his thorough research staff: 1. Dean actually wants to raise payroll taxes, and increase taxable income from the current 85,000 dollars to 100,000. 2. Got a Vietnam deferrment for a bad back, but spent the same year skiing in Aspen (1971). 3. Wants to recognize gay couples who get married in Canada. 4. Lied to NARAL by withholding critical, relevant information about parental consent during the abortion of a...

    Democrat on Leftist Website converts to Bush-Backer; Read Testimony May 17, 2003 On my monthly drive-by of left-wing websites, I noticed a mountain of collective scorn heaped by DUmb denizens on a recent Republican convert over the war on Iraq. The poor fellow seems to have had it with the indecisiveness, the pettyness, the stale rhetoric and the lack of new ideas from his old party. Here are some exchanges between this enlightened soul and delusional posters on this sanity-challenged website that will go unnamed: *********************************************************************************** Convert: They (Pelosi and Daschle) know Bush is right!

    Socialism in America's Congress: A Primer [all links provided were current and up-to-date as of the date of posting; I have no control over their effectiveness if they later change or disappear.] "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."

  • Republicans look to handful of reluctant candidates to boost the Senate majority

    The Hill ^ | 3/26/03 | Allison Stevens
    Republican strategists are looking to a small group of less than a dozen potential Senate candidates who could make or break their party's chances of retaining the GOP'S razor-thin Senate majority in the 2004 election. If the potential GOP candidates decide to run, they could force otherwise safe Democratic incumbents like Minority Leader Tom Daschle (S.D.) and Minority Whip Harry Reid (Nevada) to invest heavily to defend their seats, and curtail their campaigning for other Democratic Senate hopefuls. But if they opt not to run, races in about a dozen states will likely fall into the noncompetitive column. "A universe...

    One note before we delve into the never-never land of flag politics: We're hearing that state Sen. Robert Lamutt, a Republican from east Cobb County, is two weeks away from announcing for the 6th Congressional District to replace Johnny Isakson. He says he's already got $1 million of personal money set aside for the task. A whole raftful of Republicans are expected to make a grab for the seat, including Bob Barr. But unless someone jumps ahead, Lamutt will be the first.

    "I will not exploit, for political purposes, the apparent sanity of my opponent," said Walter Mondale (D-Insane) when asked whether he was up to the task of returning to the Senate. Mondale made the comments at a press conference where he revealed a wardrobe change, a change that he says will prove once and for all that he is still "hip enough to be a US Senator." "I want my campaign to appeal to young people," Mondale said. To that end, the former Vice President is hosting an election eve dance party headlined by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Activists...

    I thought I heard somebody say there’s an election next week. Pretty sure I heard that right. Something about mid-term Congressional elections. A bunch of governorships up for grabs. Things like that. Of course, I could be wrong. I saw what looked like a political rally on the tube but the talking heads kept telling me it was a memorial service. There may be political campaign spots on TV. I couldn’t say. Like most adult males, I channel surf during commercials. While in Missouri the other day, I saw a bus with a sign that said: “Chuck Norman likes Jim...

    Conferring a blessing that may offset charges that he is soft on national defense, the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ national political action committee on Monday endorsed U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone for re-election. This is the first time the VFW, the nation’s second-largest veterans’ organization, has endorsed the Minnesota Democrat, who is seeking a third term. “The key issues that we look at are national security and veterans benefits,” Mike Kodluboy, chairman of the Minnesota VFW PAC, said during a presentation ceremony at VFW Post 295 in South St. Paul. “Paul Wellstone earned our veterans’ support based upon his tireless efforts...

Officials were required to wait one week after the primary to begin opening the ballots. All ballots in 10 of those...

    Proof: The Democratic Party Mocks God What would it take for God-fearing people in the Democratic party to recognize that this once great party has become Satan's pride and joy?  It is apparent they refuse to see the handwriting on the wall, which is becoming clearer with each passing year. Just what would it take? There has got to be a defining moment, an epiphany,  where even the least skeptic of Democrats, would throw their hands up in disgust and say, “I've had enough -- this party now embraces evil." Surely, it must take something.  Does it really require an...
