Your work on Free Republic has been supreme, enlightening and comprehensive, and you deserve tremendous accolades indeed. I disagree with you about Gowdy however. It takes huge b@lls to do what he did—with almost no support from our own side in congress.
Fold? Nope, he couldn’t do much more than he did, and God knows what he did in the halls trying to get some wingmen... there were a couple others, but Gowdy was on point, taking the hits, even from us.
So many on this site violated a primary Reagan directive: Thou shalt not speak ill of fellow republicans... I mean of course honest discussions and discourse and disagreements must take place, even amongst our side... but some were just too far over the edge and did not add to the chances of the good guys winning. Thank God we won, but no thanks to some who did go over that edge. But the good guys won, and therefore i’ m not mad, just relieved I guess.
Thanks again for all you’ve done, you’re a FR treasure. Don’t know if you were here when Mia T was roaming the halls of FR, but she was a Clinton hater from way back. Hers got a little ‘out there’ sometimes, but she was also pretty amazing. Your posts are probably as numerous, but always well researched and well written—with plenty of humor too!
Thanks for the kudos......and remember I was a big fan of Trey....always made the effort to single him out for praise.
But the Hillary incident just threw me off the bandwagon.
I can forgive a politician of many things...but not knowing the consequences of his actions is not one of them.
