Free Republic

Martin O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland and possible Democratic presidential candidate, is speaking out on the violence in Baltimore. O'Malley's rival, Hillary Clinton, is not. "I'm saddened that the City I love is in such pain this night. All of us share a profound feeling of grief for Freddie Gray & his family," O'Malley said on Twitter. "We must come together as one City to transform this moment of loss & pain into a safer & more just future for all of Baltimore's people."

Ted Cruz will nail this guy to the proverbial progressive wall if it comes down to this. GO TED !!

Free Republic is a longtime hangout for me and sometimes things get pretty interesting. The current big story has all the complexity and treachery of a Russian novel.In October of 2004, a Freeper who goes by the handle of MD4BUSH began making posts on Free Republic urging Republicans to "play dirty" in the 2004 election. MD4BUSH represented himself as a staunch Republican. He lured another poster named NCPAC into his confidence and then posted alleged private "freep-mails" between the two. MD4BUSH baited  NCPAC into discussing sexual rumors about Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley. When MD4BUSH brought the exchanges to the attention of the...

You've heard of Watergate. Now there's "Rumorgate," a cut-rate version of the original "who done it." In this melodrama, Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley plays the role of innocent victim of a whispering campaign. The alleged perpetrator: The Evil Ehrlich Empire. Gov. Bob Ehrlich says he's innocent. He promptly fired the lout who sent e-mail messages to a right-wing Republican Web site questioning O'Malley's fidelity. This numskull worked for Ehrlich previously and held a good-paying state job. Critics shouted, "conspiracy!" Further evidence came when it was revealed the rumor-monger called himself "the Prince of Darkness" and loved wallowing in the slimy...

Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley yesterday accused agents of Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s administration of spreading false rumors that he had an extramarital affair, and Ehrlich responded hours later by dismissing a longtime employee. The mayor, a Democrat considering a bid for governor in 2006, said he believes that the widespread and persistent rumors were part of a "concerted and orchestrated and sustained" effort and called on the Republican governor to apologize to his wife and children. "I don't think any of us run for office expecting that this sort of hurt will be heaped on our kids or...

There are a lot of rumours going around that one of the principal speakers at the Dem Convention is barely holding together some career threatening info. Martin O'Malley, Mayor of Baltimore, is out of the house due to an affair (or many) and reports are there may be a pregnancy. Now I have got this from two separate sources and they are reliable (and not politically hostile to O'Malley). His father-in-law is pretty powerful guy and his wife is a former judge. Anybody hear anything on this?
