Free Republic

While there are many conservative men and women challengers running for the Senate, House, and state-wide offices in New York, it is likely that few, if any will win. Despite my many qualms with the Bush administrations moderate and liberal policies, I see the presidential race as the most important race in this region. While there is no way that Bush could carry NY State, PA and NJ are close races. The RNC and Bush-Cheney re-election campaigns are doing a fair job of mobilizing New Yorkers to come to PA and, to a lesser degree, NJ. However, these efforts are...

Every republican should by Fahrenhype 9/11. Then they should have a party watching first MOOREs movie and then the rebuttal. This is the best way to get liberals to see Fahrenhype, because you will tell them that you will watch Fahrenheit 9/11 if they do so. None of them want to admit that they won't listen to both sides of the story. So they will come. (I suggest also copying Stolen Honor onto a cd or dvd to show afterwards). I am doing this at work in California and I have got a lot of people together to watch them...

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04294/398767.stm An ostensibly nonpartisan voter registration drive in Western Pennsylvania has triggered accusations that workers were cheated out of wages and given instructions to avoid adding anyone to the voter rolls who might support the Democratic presidential nominee. Sproul & Associates, a consulting firm based in Chandler, Ariz., hired to conduct the drive by the Republican National Committee, employed several hundred canvassers throughout the state to register new voters. Some workers yesterday said they were told to avoid registering Democrats or anyone who indicated support for Democratic nominee John F. Kerry. "We were told that if they wanted to register...

I am truly flabbergast!!! Running in the Pittsburgh Fox market, on Greta Von Sustern's On the Record tonight, was a campaign ad with Michael J. Fox commenting on the need for biomedical research, yadayada...but what stunned me was that it WASN'T for sKerry...it was for snarlin' Arlen Spector. The format is eerily the same as the sKerry spot...now what gives? Bush endorsed Spector (many of us PA R's were quite upset about it...me included) but Spector is running basically the same ad that Kerry is running using the same celeb? Is Arlen, perchance, distancing himself from the President in the...

If Kerry wins, I predict it will be the waves of new voter registrations in process. In my area, there are DNC registrars every ten feet, it seems. And they aren't playing by the book either... 1) I saw a college student "running against Bush" as the rally was called, running down the street handing out registration forms. If you were black or young, you got one. She skipped everyone else. 2) A friend of mine had his 17 year old son attempt to register as Republican. They had no problem accepting the registration without ID of eligibility to vote---but...

Why not go to the Labor Day Concert at West Point? Dull, right? Not really. This final outdoor concert of the season for the West Point Band will last from about 6PM until 9PM, and includes performances by our beloved Hellcats, the Jazz Knights, and the USMA Concert Band. The US Army Chorus will also perform. Now, I am no big fan of classical music, and would not drive 10 miles to see a concert, much less the 2+hrs this trip will take. Except for one thing: On the schedule is the 1812 Overture, complete with cannon and fireworks. I...

Latest poll gives Senator Arlen Specter a 54% to 36% lead.

Gannett Fails One-Newspaper Communities/Counties- Port Huron Times Herald a Queue for Government Intervention? In particular, with today’s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I’ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties. There appears to be an immediate need to make certain legislation be brought requiring corporate newspapers to better report news and serving the communities they cover. At a crucial time with the 2004 Primary literally days away- this particular newspaper,...

The poll of 600 likely Republican voters in St. Clair County Michigan’s State Representative District 81 countywide found Alloway leading Pavlov by 12 points, 48 percent to 40 percent in a three-way race with Yale Republican Steve Pray Nader included in the ballot test.

“A Michigan Impossible until we work together ending illegal state house electioneering practices” Joe Alloway-R Michigan House District 81 St. Clair County Michigan PORT HURON – JULY 11, 2004 - Please listen to a recent interview (http://66.92.134.175/~benburch/old/TrupianoShow-(10-5-2004).mp3) exposing Michigan’s #1 area to reform and that’s ending illegal activities in Michigan’s House Republican Caucus Communications Office! Very few citizens asked have no idea of what that word means. Folks, the bottom line is we’ve had some major problems in this antiquated, 50-person staffed office and they’re just coming public. Take recent revelations of state employees assigned to representatives as campaign managers...

Former Rep. Ron Klink To Endorse Specter Over Fellow Democrat Hoeffel

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents. The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records. Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to...

The attorney general is one of the state's most heated primary races, but polls show most voters have no idea whom to pick. The Republican race for state attorney general appears to be wide open. News 8 found that you'd be hard pressed to find voters that can even name any of the candidates running for attorney general. In the News 8 Keystone poll that came out just last Wednesday of 400 registered Republicans polled, 71 percent reported they are undecided. The poll showed 16 percent favored Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor, and 13 percent favor former Attorney General...

I've seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I'm mostly using information from DC POLITICAL REPORT and POLITICS1. STATES Alabama DISTRICT 3 - The other Mike Rogers (R) won in 02 with 50.3% over Democrat Joe Turnham(48.2%) in an open seat. So far, it looks as he is facing Democrat Bill Fuller, Ex-State Human Resources Commissioner. I haven't heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest. Alaska SENATE - Lisa Murkowski(R) vs Ex governor Tony Knowles. This will be a tough race as Knowles is an ex-governor and Murkowski...

Darlin' Arlen By Tim Carney In the Pennsylvania primary battle between pro-choice liberal Sen. Arlen Specter (R) and pro-life conservative challenger Rep. Pat Toomey (R), self identified "conservatives" as well as "pro-life" voters are almost as likely to pledge support for Specter--who shrunk Bush's 2001 tax cut, supports Roe v. Wade and opposes school choice and tort reform--as for Toomey, who came to Washington as mostly conservative and has drifted right since then. Conservatives' mixed loyalties mirror the mixed messages they are receiving from the top figures on the right. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), a hero to pro-lifers, endorsed Specter...

BIG NEWS: SPECTER WEAK AT HOME Toomey Blog readers will recall that on Thursday, December 11, 2003 I posted a story on an Allentown Morning Call and Muhlenburg Colllege poll findng that, although Toomey trailed Specter 52 to 25 statewide, "The same poll also said Toomey leads Specter 57 percent to 29 percent among registered Republican voters in Lehigh and Northampton counties." For those who aren't good with math, on Toomey's home turf, he crushed Specter by 28 points. One would think Specter would enjoy a similar lead on his home turf. WRONG! "Lehigh Valley U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey is...

"State and local tax officials are salivating at the prospect of sinking their fangs into the Internet, one of the last remaining outlets of tax freedom in this country," Adam Thierer, director of telecommunications studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, told UPI. No one knows for sure which type of bill will emerge -- a permanent moratorium or a temporary one -- or whether it will all Internet access tax-free. The White House backs a permanent ban on taxes, and the issue might become more politicized during this year's election campaign involving President George W....
