Check them out if you would like. Some might consider them to be the RW version of this sight. I consider them a bunch of idiots who would felatio * on sight even if they caught him raping a donkey...

Then again there are some here who would do the same for Hillary...

21. BTW welcome - enjoy the free for all.
Freepers sometimes write some of the funniest stuff ever. Not on purpose, mind you. I can only stand to visit there for about ten minutes once a month. But they always have some incredible comments.
My favorite was the thread trying to figure out what an 'amber alert' was. They knew blue, green, yellow, orange and red but not amber. Must've been something serious to come up with a new color - amber alert in kentucky. What was there in kentucky worth starting a new color alert? Fort Knox maybe? Went on for about 200 comments before someone told them what an amber alert was.
This was about 6 months ago.

8. Alito
Working as hard at getting him in as we are at keeping him out.

I HAVE to get some work done today - I've been so involved in this Alito deal I haven't thought about anything else.

29. What Do I Think They Need to Work At?
They need to look into their soul if they still have one and grow the balls/ovaries they need to even attempt to do so.

I am already working. And if one gets in my way, I'll make their day miserable!

5. I doubt it
They think it's a done deal, after all. They're sitting back and laughing at us...but they won't be laughing on Monday. I'm not going there to verify this, reading freeper posts makes one lose brain cells.

6. Nope.
As usual, all they do is listen to Rush, drink BAD beer, and go home and masturbate over "Men's Magazines" full of the women we actually date.

11. Working as hard as any Party Worker would have to in a rigged system
All they have to do is show up at the "Town Hall Meetings" and lob softball questions to their King. No real work, other than keeping your bile down.

12. Not as hard as their close allies, the MOONIES.

The freepers bluster but it's the moonies who do all the real heavy lifting for the Republican party agenda.

20. Also, They Are Extremely Organized Armed w/ Computers, Faxes
and when the media steps over the line, watch out! They get ad dollars pulled, TV shows canceled, movies pulled from theaters, sponsorships pulled from gay events. It's no wonder the media cows to their every demand.

They also managed to convince the media into thinking "they're liberal" and as a result we have the garbage media we have today.

Mega churches, Focus on Family, Robertson, Fawell - their members do what their told.

25. Ahhh, yes. The "Power Elite..."
I had forgotten the neo-Con fascist "Power Elite" who controls the thinking of the average fundie/freeper. They are a force to be reckoned with!

I was limiting my response to the average freeper who thinks this nomination will be a cakewalk, due to the Corporate Media.
