Free Republic

My first post, is a vanity but I'm blowing steam out of my ears!!! Watching "Morning Joe" to see an interview with newly elected Pat Toomey (Conservative Senator from Pennsylvania) when Scarborough did the damnedest thing. He was talking about how the GOP should support the Obama Tax compromnise and began to refer to "Obama Republicans" and the rest of the cast jumped right in and pushed the idea. Obama republicans like Reagan Democrats!!! I was floored. In a matter of 3 or 4 days, we have been saddled with Obama. In the media view, it is now the Dem...

I would say that this is mostly an inadvertent scratch Obama does to his face while talking, however everytime this happens, it's always when he's talking about political opponents, today he was at the Republican House retreat..This is the 4th time he's done this if you're counting...(Video)

MoveOn.org sponsored a contest for the best 30-second pro-Barack Obama TV commercial. The winner, according to the Associated Press's article, "MoveOn ad features pro-Obama Republican," was an ad starring Air Force veteran John Weiler. The spot includes Mr. Weiler, whose military service is to be commended, saying "I've been a Republican since before I could actually vote."

And he supports Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for president, following a trend in the country's Arab-American community. "The American image in the outside world has been damaged, and we want someone who will reach out to others and say, 'Let's sit at the table and talk,'" said Mubarak, who emigrated from Syria in 1981. "That's what attracted me to Obama. He said, 'I will sit with Iran, I will sit with anyone.'"...

One of Sen. Barack Obama’s surest applause lines comes about halfway into his standard stump speech. It goes like this: “They whisper to me. They say, ‘Barack, I’m a Republican, but I support you.’ And I say, ‘Thank you. Why are we whispering?’” If the latest polling data are to be believed, those Republicans aren’t whispering in Texas, where 195 of the 228 delegates the state will send to the Democratic National Convention will be chosen in a primary and caucuses Tuesday. As many as a tenth of the Texans voting in the Democratic contests could be Republicans, and overwhelmingly...
