Free Republic

After being a registered Republican my entire life (I'm 58y/o), I re-registered today and can now call myself a registered Independent.

The Republican party is vain. The current Republican party would have shunned George Washington for breaking the rules while fighting the British. Voters make excuses for supporting incompetence. Many despised Trump’s tweeting and rhetoric ignoring the battle we faced. Now Trump is gone, partially do to the people we voted for. We pretend we want to win but refuse to fight to win. Politicians know we won’t collectively punish them because of fear of the the Democratic party. The successes of the Trump administration had little to do with Republicans. Most was done by executive order. Here’s a list of...

By now, the word is probably spreading like wildfire on the country's Spanish language radio stations that cater to illegal immigrants. Get pregnant, or conceive a child with your spouse or significant other, and you likely won't be deported. Already have a child? Bring them here to America illegally. If you can prove you are the guardian of a minor, the government will likely take deportation off the table.

(snip) Most Democrats are leftists and socialists, and most of their rhetoric reflects that, as do the issues they support. Most Republicans, however, are big fat hypocrites who campaign as conservatives when in fact, judged by their actions and their votes, they are no more conservative than Pol Pot or Karl Marx. A true conservative would balance the budget, would vote against all foreign aid and would practice an isolationist foreign policy. A true conservative would make sure corporations pay their fair share of taxes, would cut out all subsidies to bug business and would take whatever steps were necessary...

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - The Bush administration will not renegotiate a controversial free-trade pact with Central America despite strong opposition from labor groups and the sugar industry, U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said on Friday. As President Bush stepped up his bid this week for congressional approval of the U.S.-Central America Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA, Gutierrez told Reuters the plan would not go back to the drawing board even though lawmakers are skeptical of its ability to pass. "It's a treaty that has already been negotiated and even approved by the congresses in three Central American countries," Gutierrez said...
