Free Republic

Everyone has already voiced their astonishment regarding the complete disenfranchisement of approximately 1,000,000 registered Republican voters in the State of Colorado.

The CO Republican Party rules for the delegation selection process and delegates are outlined at the source below. http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/CO-R As you have seen, the GOP is extremely proud of their achievement to privatize the selection of a presidential candidate for Colorado. They have published the list of Colorado delegates in The Denver Post and other sources. Many of you may have friends...

Where have all the “good ole boys” gone on Sirius NASCAR radio? It seems to me that the only one that really speaks my language now during the daytime is Chocolate Meyers. All the rest of the southern boys have been relegated to nighttime duty. What got me to paying attention to this was the fact that The Morning Drive crew was poking fun at Sarah Palin last week. She is someone I like and admire. It hit me the wrong way when they were making light of her and I got to thinking that these guys really aren’t that...

Hopefully, most people will select their next governor on the basis of something other than his or her ability to tell the truth or not regarding extramarital sex.

Fellow FReepers: Being a Left Wing Poor Person, I today stood in line to pick up what are called "commodities." These are government food packets that go back in time at least to the Great Depression and are received by large numbers of people of all kinds. And unlike the ideologically pure fantasy worlds in which some people on both sides of the spectrum have their heads, in the Real World these "left wing" programs are administered by people with crosses on their desk and are dispensed in national guard armories. At any rate, while standing in line I was...

<p>Kelly E. Miller didn't waiver.</p> <p>Despite the political implications, the Chesterfield County supervisor today called for a vote to name Iron Bridge Park after his friend and colleague, retired county Supervisor Harry G.
