Free Republic

I am under the impression from previous readings of the Bible ... that there is a verse that states that whoever is in a place of authority was choosen by God to be in that office. In looking over the scriptures I have not found it. Romans 13:1-4, Hebrews 13;17. 1TIMOTHY 2:2, do not seem right.

I early voted in NC today, and was not asked for my ID. I was asked my name, and my current address and nothing else. I admit I don't know the law, but the information I gave at the polling place could have been taken from the phone book. Anyone else voted in NC? What was your experience?

Has Obama lowered his tax cut plan to those who make up to $200,000 instead of $250,000? I just saw a commercial here in Colorado where Obama said that those who make $200,000 or less would get a tax cut.

I was reading the African Press message board and message #574 states: Cablenet guy Says: October 26, 2008 at 11:16 pm Cloud "I’m the the poor sap who babysits all the cable channels at the regional cable provider in my county. I sit in a control room and make sure everything is running smoothly for all 500 channels during the Saturday and Sunday 3p to 11p shift. Any time a schedule change comes in on one of the cable channels an advisory is issued ussually a few hours prior. I have received 4 advisories from the cable news networks (Fox,...

This is my first post to FR so I'l keep it short and sweet! What is Biden talking about? “Mark my words, an unknown major crisis in the world within 6 months of the next President taking office”. And that if it’s Obama, “We need to support him without question and urge others, (with pressure), to support him in whatever he decides to do to handle the unknown situation”. Those statements are from Biden’s speech at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma on Sunday. It’s the beginning of propagandizing for a leftist/socialist government. I’ll tell you, if that’s what’s in the near...

The right to property and to the fruits of one's labor is not some privilege dreamed up by the wealthy elite in America to keep others oppressed. It is one of the founding principles of our nation. It serves as the great motivator that keeps the wheels of the economy turning, and is the promise that gives many the will to endure another day's rounds. People who have attained the American dream (now, apparently, anything above the arbitrarily chosen $250,000 sticker price) have done so, almost without exception, through their own ingenuity and industriousness. Or, perhaps, they have inherited their...

CBS showed the movie "Cinderella Man" at 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 25, 2008, and around 9:15 p.m., the movie showed taking the Lord's name in vein, and the Holy family, several times. This is inappropriate and should be illegal on the public's free airways. CBS could have easily cut that from what we thought was a family movie.

Just got off the phone with my sister who lives in NH, the discussion turns to politics and she indicates that she's leaning towards "The One". She listed health care as her primary concern, she's been bombarded with literature essentially telling her that people with pre-existing conditions will be screwed under McCains plan. I told her she should do some more research before settling on a candidate and told her that I'd send her some links. She is skeptical of what I'll send her because she knows I'm a Conservative, any suggestions as to where she should be researching?

I just made some calls in support of McCain/Palin. I've never done this before. It is really easy. Go to JohnMcCain.com, go to Action, and make phone calls. They'll supply the numbers and the script! They need every effort they can get. Remember, Obama is paying people to do this...

Post your thoughts here regarding TV news bias on Election Night. It was bad enough in 2000 and got worse in 2004. This time, the TV networks will mount a lovefest to the One!

Hey All: It's not too early to prepare for election night follies at the news networks. Tell your family, friends, and neighbors to pay no attention to any broadcast news until they have voted (for McCain/Palin of course). Even if the networks proclaim a Nobama landslide, do not become discouraged, do not walk away from the voting booth! To refresh your memory, here's a brief history of the Florida panhandle swindle of 2000: The networks called Florida for Gore early in the evening on election day - before polls had closed in the Florida panhandle, which is part of the...

All day Fox news Radio has been using a poll from Newsweek of REGISTERED VOTERS showing O'Bammer with a 13 point lead, any Ideas?

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08” tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference — just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more...

I know Beck comes on the radio at different times, but I just listened to his show...He was talking to Peter Schiff(sp?) about the economy, and pissin and moaning both of them about "whats coming". Beck has been on a tear about the economy, about husseins radicalism, husseins islamists friends, husseins wanting to tax more and more people into oblivion, husseins dangerous terrorist friends, etc etc.... he had the arrogance today to say he hadn't made up his mind about who to vote for.... he thinks that it might be a good idea to have hussein get elected so we...

Obama is the most Radical Left Wing voting Liberal in the U.S. Senate. Obama co-sponsors Socialist schemes. Obama is pro-abortion. Obama co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act. Obama would repeal the Partial Birth Abortion Act. Obama supports a Kenyan Marxist. Obama has befriended a known American Terrorist. Obama is coming after your Retirement Plan. What? How Can He? Just pass a little Democratic law! Watch him. He's gonna do it! Look out. He's spreading the wealth!

Hi all, Just wondering if I could ask willing FReepers a couple of questions for a "satisfy my own curiosity" study? Q1: How confident are you that John McCain and Sarah Palin will win the Presidential campaign on 4 Nov? (Very confident, somewhat confident, tossup, somewhat unconfident, very unconfident, don't know/don't care) Q2: Do you pray about the upcoming election, specifically for the Presidential election? (Multiple times a day, once a day, every so often, not at all) Thanks!

Maybe arnold will campaign in ohio and pa He lived under socialist govt-he could give mccain a big boost He must see it in obama Send mccain campaign e-mail

Not me.

Are You Sick of Politics? Then Vote Republican! You could say that I am a political junkie. I almost always know what is going on politically and can discuss almost any issue with a degree of knowledge and make any discussion on politics usually interesting. And of course I am not alone. There are many more Americans (both on the right and on the left) today that follow the news and the issues through the internet very closely. Politics has become a contact sport at work, at home, with friends almost everywhere you go we are becoming saturated with it...
