<span style='color:#B92C15 '><span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif Hello! </span></span>

It's TGIF but then everyday has seemed like Friday lately. I wonder how many more weekends we are going to have this week? http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/melt.gif *I know I wouldn't feel that way if I was still working. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif

Let's have a http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif this morning and talk about the strange ways of Democrats. More and more are announcing for the Presidency almost every day. Just think, they might be short a few senators when the next Congress rolls around. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif

Do any of you check out the site from time to time? Click on Resources up above and then the State Editors News Pages. Your state is probably represented there. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/compute.gif

And we hope to meet some new folks today so please register if you are a guest and come post with us. We'd like to talk to you. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/chatter.gif

http://home.earthlink.net/~thillhousesprint/gopusa/q.gif Who organized the first ever meeting of the Republican Party?

[pRIMrose]

<span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>Good Morning http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sunflower1.gif Terri &amp; http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif</span></span>

Alvan E. Bovay was the first to organize a Republican meeting.

&quot;The Republican Party was born in the early 1850's by anti-slavery activists and individuals who believed that government should grant western lands to settlers free of charge. The first informal meeting of the party took place in Ripon, Wisconsin, a small town northwest of Milwaukee.&quot;

Here is a very interesting link to the History of the GOP/Republican Party (http://www.rnc.org/gopinfo/history)

More people need to know how the GOP started and why. As always, the Republicans start a good thing and the Democrats come along and take credit for it. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tqrolleyes.gif

Terri ~ I'm still pinching myself every day to make sure I'm not dreaming. Yes, every day is TGIF. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif However, I'm working harder now than ever. But, I'm the boss and the perks are great. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif:

Tonight is the big http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/football.gif game ~ Miami vs Ohio. I think I know what http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif will be doing tonight. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin5.gif

Guess I'll go check out the news. BBAW http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif

[Bobby]

Good morning!

Regarding pictures of Terri's kitchen... don't you have to first pick the tile before you can complete the kitchen??? If so, the thing might never get done. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

FLGuy... good luck tonight with the game. I don't want to rekindle the BCS debate, but my prediction is that Miami will wipe the floor with Ohio State. Why? Because Ohio State shouldn't be in that game. It would have been a much better game to see Oklahoma or a few other teams who are actually better than Ohio State, and we would have had we had a playoff. Oops... what did I say about not bringing this up? http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

In any case, I'll watch tonight and be cheering for the 'Canes!

Bobby

[AngelsRWorldChamps]

I will be watching tonights game and cheering for the Halos opps wrong sport sorry. *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cdmusic.gif listin to up

The next post with be my 900 ya me. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cdmusic.gif

I saw a very intersting show on PBS about Air Force One last night. Ok yes I was watching the liberal money grabbing station. Is stated that Ex President Johnson striped the plane down to its menatl frame after he left office he through that the plane belonged to his sorry liberal a$$ instead of the United States of America. I beleive that they air force one is know at the Ronald Reagan President Lib, but I forget where it is (ok bad joke sorry)

[Der Alte]

Good Morning All: Terri, is someone infering that you have trouble making up your mind?

Angels: That season is over - know you are looking forward to April.

Are we all pulling for Miami? Hope the Hurricanes roll.

I need to get a new calender - one that has 7 Fridays in each week. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Or would it be more appropriate to have 7 Saturdays?

RIM, you need to be watching NBC - they have a segment on what you need to throw out in the kitchen.

The wifes up early - got to go - see ya later.

No the games I see have them winning the World Series that is still current right.

I went to Borders Music and Books last night ( are they outside of Chi Town) and was browering for single girls and notice the sports section. I went over to look at the books because there was afemale with W book in hand he he. I notice The Liberal Lovers ESPN 2002 http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif sports wrap up book it had a picture of Barry I do Roid Bonds and Dusty my kid also gets killed at the WS Baker on the front. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif Someone needs to tell ESPN that the ANGELS won the series not the liberal loving Giant.

[Terri]

It sure is busy around my house for so early in the morning. Hopefully I'll get to sit here for a couple of minutes now. *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif

RIM!! This is very interesting because I have a different name as the first person who ever organized a Republican Party meeting. Do you suppose the Dems are giving me disinformation?? *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Yes, we will keep losing the http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif to http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/football.gif for awhile now. The Broncos are out, the Falcons lost, the Buffs lost, and I don't even like the sport anymore. So there! *At least not till next year. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif

Well yes, this is true. Selection is moving rather slowly. So slowly in fact, that Hubby said I'm spending longer picking out the floor than I did picking him. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tqrolleyes.gif *Men just don't get it. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif *But today we are going to look at a couple more stores and bring home more samples so there might be hope. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Der Alte, I'm sure you would understand the tile thing from the male point of view too. However, RIM, Saber, and Charie will understand and so will any of the other women. Maybe. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rotflo.gif

Mark, Democrats just think everything that belongs to the people belong to them and they can just take it. Sad situation. So you go to Borders to pick up girls. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *Well that might be all right as long as you are careful about the sections where you find them. *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif

I hope Bobby is right (wipe the floor), but Ohio State is much better than the Nebraska team Miami played last year. In fact, they are the only unbeaten team other than Miami in the past 2 years (although they did have an easier schedule than many others). *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

It is Friday. Let's all hope for a great weekend. The NFL wildcard games are this weekend, too. The Trojans dominated the Orange Bowl last night, thoroughly beating the Hawkeyes. Well, going to go look at the other threads, and will BBL....

G'mornin' all. *Still haven't had any coffee, so I'm not functioning too well, yet. *As a matter of fact, I'm going to go get my http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif now. *I've been sitting here looking at the keyboard for at least 5 minutes and wondering what it was............. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/geekgirl.gif

I've driven by the house where the Republican Party started. *Never went in, because it wasn't open when we were there. *However, I http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/salute1.gif as we drove by. *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yelclap.gif

Terri, good luck in your tile search

Flaguy, &quot;Go Canes&quot;

AAWC &amp; DA, you both sound way too full of energy this morning.

Bobby, you're not picking on Terri, are you? *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif

RIM, guess now I have to dig further into the Republican background of the Great and Glorious State *of Wisconsin (do you think I'd ever be allowed to be a delegate and say that at the convention?)

Think I'm awake now so I'll bid you farewell . *Hope you all have a http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sun1.gif *day.

[Terri]

Welcome to the http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif forum, Teletom! Come talk to us!

Charie, of course you could be a delegate! Woudn't that be fun? http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hi Floridaperson! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I'm off again! Of course none of you know where I'm going. Hubby is barely speaking at this point. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/doh.gif

bhomer1, Welcome to the forum! We're glad to have you! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hi Tom! You've been scarce lately. Glad to see you back.

There's some Lott news and some White House news that should raise your BP to astronomical levels. It's posted. Check it out.

[pRIMrose]

Good evening all! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif

http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/boots.gif Busy, busy day. Cleaned house, did laundry, went grocery shopping and ordered some BUB Cross Dressers for Mr. RIM. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif Just in case you are wondering, they are exhaust pipes for his motorcycle. They go &quot;vrrrrroooooom vrrrrrrrooooom&quot;. Checked them out on a website that has sound. They sound real http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif if you're into motorcycles. Personally, I prefer four wheels and lots of creature comforts. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/JEDIpinkietoo.gif

Guess I better go check out the articles that Terri says will raise my BP. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif CYL

[Der Alte]

Evening All: Terri, think I will skip the BP raising postings for a while - I just checked mine and it was 195/85 - don't think I'm willing to push it.

Thank goodness for the FOX channel - they have really pushed the illegals and border problems - today they have reported every hour on the illegal who had access to the White House and all the other agencies. Loved the pictures of him with Slick Willie and the Veep. It shows how lax the govt is - he was ordered deported in 2000. Apparantly they tell them, &quot;You are deported - you must leave&quot; and do nothing else. Time to write everyone again.

[Terri]

Welcome NCGOP! We're glad you've joined us. Please jump right in. I'm assuming you are from North Carolina and we have several other members from that state too. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hi RIM! I still need to go back and check out that name. Will do soon.

Der Alte, O'Reilly is hitting NYC on their orders NOT to report illegals to the INS. This afternoon Hannity was beside himself on the radio. Things are going to change. It may still take awhile but the immovable object is just about to meet the irresistable force on this issue! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif

[NCGOP]

Thanks Terri, TGIF GOPUSA: Thank God I found GOPUSA http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Der Alte]

Welcome, NCGOP - you have just joined up with one super bunch. There are 3 of us, that I know of, that are from NC.

Terri, I should have said thank goodness that we have FOX and Michelle Malkin. I understand that even some of the major networks are reporting on the illegal that had access to the WH. Did you see ORs report on the illegals in NY? Its disgusting to see what lengths politicians will go to for a vote. If over 60% of the people are in favor of closing the borders and getting rid of the illiegals you would think the politicians would be courting them.
