Free Republic

For Americans voting from Israel, the elections are over. Early polling suggests 75% of the 200,000 Americans eligible to vote here did so for John McCain. I was one of them. Below I tell you why. As I and my family anxiously await the election returns from America here in Jerusalem, we will be wondering not only if Barack Hussein Obama will be elected, but if this will be the last free elections ever held in the U.S. With massive voter fraud by Obama's protégé, ACORN, which is not a voter registration organization, but a pack- the- voting- rolls- with-...

Hey all! I was listening to Ramon Raquello and his orchestra (and who doesn't?) and just as they were playing "La Cumparsita", the program was interupted by a breaking news story from the Intercontinental Radio News with a bulletin on Mars. "At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, reports observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope indicates the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's observation, and describes...

Undeniably, a powerful tide is running for the Democratic Party, with one week left to Election Day. Bush's approval rating is 27 percent, just above Richard Nixon's Watergate nadir and almost down to Carter-Truman lows. After each of those presidents reached their floors -- in 1952, 1974, 1980 -- the opposition party captured the White House. Moreover, 80 percent to 90 percent of Americans think the nation is on the wrong course, and since mid-September, when McCain was still slightly ahead, the Dow has lost 4,000 points -- $5 trillion to $6 trillion in value. Leading now by eight points...

The Obama response to any discussion of his involvement with a former Weatherman leader, engaged in radical revolutionary tactics in the 1960s, has been that he (Obama) was only eight years old at the time of the Ayers involvement in acts of overt sedition, and that he has since denounced those actions. This, of course, is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not Obama and Ayers share a common Marxist ideology--a common vision of a new monolithic totalitarian Socialist America. Ayers may have changed his tactics, that does not mean that he has changed his goals. When Lenin and...

<p>PHILADELPHIA October 25, 2008 (AP) The Associated Press A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's qualifications to be president.</p> <p>U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick on Friday night rejected the suit by attorney Philip J. Berg, who alleged that Obama was not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency. Berg claimed that Obama is either a citizen of his father's native Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia after he moved there as a boy.</p>

Mr. Obama, Given the uproar about the simple question asked you by Joe the plumber, and the persecution that has been heaped on him because he dared to question you, I find myself motivated to say a few things to you myself. While Joe aspires to start a business someday, I already have started not one, but 4 businesses. But first, let me introduce myself. You can call me "Cory the well driller". I am a 54 year old high school graduate. I didn't go to college like you, I was too ready to go "conquer the world" when I...

Once upon a time , there was a presidiential election in the United States. A few months after the election, the uninspiring man from New England left the White House. The press wasn’t sorry to see him go.The departing President disliked the hustling newcomer and called him the “Wonder Boy.” But most of the nation hailed the dynamic, youthful new president from the nations heartland. Some called him the most brilliant man who had ever become president. His achievements were even more amazing because he came from a poor background and never knew his real father. The new president was...

POLITICAL FUTURES “Apparently there is something about Sarah Palin that causes some people to think of her as either the best of candidates or the worst of candidates. She draws enthusiastic crowds and provokes visceral hostility in the media. The issue that is raised most often is her relative lack of experience and the fact that she would be ‘a heartbeat away from the presidency’ if Senator John McCain were elected. Sarah Palin’s record is on the record, while whole years of Barack Obama’s life are engulfed in fog, and he has had to explain away one after another of...

This is what Alec Baldwin had to say about the liberal hysteria over Sarah being asked to appear on SNL. "Saturday Night Live is a comedy show. It's not Meet the Press. It doesn't "ask the tough questions" or "set the agenda." It attempts, with varying degrees of success, to make people laugh. That's it. Whether they skewer and savage people in order to do so, they don't care. When you come on a show like that, you are prepared in advance to get worked over. Palin knew that. Palin came on to be a good sport. And she was....

Rooney family might hurry the sale on fears of Obama getting elected.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The notion that we would want to brush that aside and engage in the usual political shenanigans and smear tactics that have come to characterize too many political campaigns is not what the American people are looking for." — Barack Obama, referring to economic turmoil.

New York (dpa) - Iceland, a candidate for UN Security Council membership, said Tuesday that small states are well placed to play important political and economic roles while the world's major powers are finding their way out of the current financial crisis. Iceland is running for a two-year term seat on the 15-nation council, competing with Austria and Turkey for the two seats reserved for European states. The two outgoing European states are Belgium and Italy. The United Nations General Assembly will on Friday elect five new members to replace the five nations whose terms will expire on December 31....

Did anybody else see this? NBC's Ron Allen reported on the air to Lester about a Hillary interview he's done while the Clintons are campaigning with Biden, and Holt asked him if she'd gotten over the defeat by Obama. Allen reported she hesitated when she was asked the question, and he "could see by looking in her eyes she hadn't gotten over it, but declared she is willing to be a good soldier." He also reported the Clintons have said they would be more effective campaigning separately from Obama.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Barack Obama attracting 51% of the vote while John McCain earns 45%. This is the seventeenth straight day that Obama’s support has stayed in the very narrow range from 50% to 52% while McCain has been at 44% of 45% (see trends). Obama leads by fourteen percentage points among women while McCain leads by two among men. Both men lead by an 86% to 12% margin among members of their own party while Obama holds an eight point advantage among unaffiliated voters (see other recent demographic highlights). Tracking Poll results...

The USA have removed North Korea from the list of the state sponsors states due to a disarmement deal signed today.

Fox & Friends just mentioned that Sarah Palin (the real one) will appear tomorrow on Saturday Night Live.

545 PEOPLE By Charlie Reese Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and...

<p>Now come the second thoughts on globalization.</p> <p>Never before have world markets been so integrated. And yesterday's concerted interest rate cuts by central banks in the United States and other countries from Britain to China was a signal that the financial crisis rippling around the globe has grown too big for any one of them - even the US Federal Reserve - to contain on its own.</p>

Just turned on Fox & Friends. They said that the McCain people will be on this morning with Big news and they would immediately get a response from the Obama campaign. Meanwhile, while we wait they are FURIOUS about Acorn and are hyping the Acorn story big time.....

FBI Warns of Suicide Attacks in U.S. Tuesday, October 7, 2008 12:01 AM Federal officials notified law enforcement agencies Monday of a potential al-Qaida terrorist attack in which public buildings are targeted by suicide bombers. According to NBC News, the analysis by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security describes a scenario where a dozen attackers each carrying 20 kilograms of explosives storm a building, "seal off escape and access points, and occupy it long enough to set and detonate their explosive packages." In the al-Qaida plan, according to the analysis, suicide terrorists "would be able to enter many...
