Free Republic

Have you all seen the email that says the Senators have been accused of spousal abuse, DUIs, etc. etc. My liberal friend said "Notice how they're all REPUBLICANS." Does anybody have any interesting statistics on DEMOCRATIC Politicans??? They're the sleaziest group of all, and I'd love to rub it in her face.

Been here five years as of today. It's been great fun so far. Thought I'd post a vanity to give everyone an opportunity to mess with me in a centralized location for a change.

Some dominoes of Texas politics fell into place in the last few days or, more correctly, did not fall out of place as many thought they might. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson chose not to run against incumbent governor Rick Perry next year. She will instead run to keep her seat as a Republican in the U.S. Senate, a race she will almost certainly win. One of the reasons given is that Hutchinson is reaching a point of seniority and leadership in the Senate where she may be able to help Texas achieve some legislative perks. I think there is another...

There has been ample discussion about whether and under what conditions an autop*y will be performed upon Terri. Putting aside the hopelessnness and resignation implicit in having reached this point in Terri's story, one important fact needs to be understood by those Freepers who are expecting that the procedure will provide damning details about Michael Schiavo. First, understand that Michael (ever the sociopath that he is) is expecting that vindication, not condemnation, will follow the results. And understand that he has reason to expect this. Here's why: at the level of gross anatomical observation, Terri's brain will show significant, massive...

Ive held off responding to the many many FR posts on the Terry Schiavo debacle...until now. Im raising an issue regardng the 'rule of law' that I feel may not have been discussed previously on this forum. Im also offering up some personal comments...you can take them or leave them. I make a disclaimer up front that I am not a lawyer. The law, however, should make common sense to all of us citizens...whether we are lawyers or not. If I have questions or concerns...others may have them as well...so I invite legal experts to weigh in. Of course, I...

I’m not proud of this, but the parallels to Michael Schiavo are undeniable. When I was eight years old my little sister Joan was barely three. She could talk but no one could understand her. I remember teasing the crap out of her just to see her reaction as she went to dad to tell him how badly I was treating her. His reaction? “What’s the matter, honey? I can’t understand you.” She would then come back to me and complain about my treatment of her. And, what did I do? I teased her some more. It was really funny...
