I know specifics are a Liberal conspiracy but what, exactly, was Hillary signalling to Holt?

*complicated series of hand gestures (IE finger tapping without the "aggressive" and "impatient" actual tapping motion)* "Hey...Holt...tell...him...he's...over...his...time...heh...heh...heh"

An inspection team, from EACH candidate’s side, should be able to come on stage and inspect the opposing candidate’s podium/lectern, just moments before the debate starts. Each team could include a techie to inspect any electronic gear.
Candidates should also be “wanded” for electronic gear, as they climb on stage.
Yes, it’s gotten that bad, sigh...

This is totally unrelated here but didn't Trump threaten to bring Gennifer Flowers to the debate? Unrelated of course. Go back to talking about Clinton murdering the ex-wife of a janitor because he could potentially harm her ambitions.

Yes. Yes he did. I'm sure he thought this was a great idea that would win him the debate and land the biggest sick burn on Hillary that ever burned. "Your husband slept with other women! Haw haw!" And I'm just as sure that his female campaign manager squashed the poo poo out of the idea. Man I'd love to hear the phone conversations and read the text messages that Conway has gotten on her phone in the last month. :allears:

Also, freep has learned nothing at all about unskewing, it's amazing. The tendency to do it is completely understandable, it's just a very specific manifestation of the universal human drive to engage in denial or self deception over bad news. One almost finds oneself starting to do it almost by reflex when you see discouraging polls about your candidate. But the key is to recognize the tendency and how counterproductive it is and stop doing it.

For your enjoyment, one more time and in preparation for November:

Received a message from his wife that Dale Reed has passed away. Dale was a long-term conservative activist and a FReeper since nearly the beginning of Free Republic. He was one of the founding members of our Southern California Chapter. Dale and his wife and several members from Southern California were present at the 1998 picnic and meeting in Fresno where our activism efforts through chapters were basically born.

Dale was a good man, a patriot and great supporter of FR and our conservative activism efforts and will be greatly missed.

Prayers for his wife and family.

May his soul rest in peace.

God bless.

To: Jim Robinson

I knew him personally. Not at all the gruff person he portrayed but a big old Teddy Bear at heart. God bless his wife and family.

To honor Dale Reed's memory, I have decided to drink a gallon of whole milk tomorrow, as he did every day of his life. Also, to drink a really tiny beer, as I do not have the size required to make a regular can seem small in my colossal mitts.

Yes I know it was a pack of smokes but my grieving process involves remembering that picture as we initially interpreted it.

I usually lurk and don't post. But I'm genuinely saddened by this. I saw him as less genuinely terrible then many posters on Free Republic and liked his reminiscing for the good old days of hot rods and loose women. He was still terrible though.
