Many on the left will be voting Bush in 2004. The DNC has been literally cornered with the inability to logically provide an acceptable alternative to conservative proposals, it's simply been the negative play book same old song and dance routine with no counter ideas.
Many people feel Bush has given too much to win acceptance of the left voters yet he now has their approval. How many of them are now willing to relinquish such legislature as tax cuts...? How many would not support Iraq?
The point is a lot of the people have something interesting to say. I hear them on EIB all the time. Why couldn't we create a forum for them as an introduction to FR and determine where it takes us? Maybe it makes sense for the leftist converts to be watching over and/or designing this.
I simply believe there is more ripe area into which expansion is a possibility. One must take chances, it's what I used to tell my employees, evolve or die.

I am an example of a die hard democrat who saw the light and switched parties. It can happen, and hopefully more will do the same when they wake up to the fact that their party has been hijacked by socialists who are hell bent on destroying the country as we know it. I don't know that Jim would create a special section of FR for them however.

Interisting. Im actually a registered democrat (haven't taken the time to change that yet). I actually found the free republic through the Democratic Underground. I stumbled upon their site, Posted, and was quickly booted. They said to go back to Free Republic and I ended up here. In my opinion, you guys are doing a fine job helping moderate dems go cold turkey... They don't seem to mind sending people your way either.
To: ladyinred
I agree. But I would not absolve Dems by saying socialism was imposed on them (party was hijacked). They chose this path over many years as a party.

Not all of them did, most of the general Mom and Pop democrats out there don't even know yet that it happened. I agree the leaders chose it however, and those that are active. But just your average voter who pays little attention, no way, and there aren't many ways for them to find out on reality TV shows, and Oprah!

I see the Democrats as a force that has destroyed themselves and I dont even see how the party exist anymore.
What exactly do they stand for? Seriously.
Gay marriage and giving illegal aliens driver licenses?
Their only position seems to be the opposite of whatever Bush says. If Bush is for white, then they have to be for black.
As I see it, they have lost their own identity when they have come to base their position on any issues to be the direct opposite of whatever the Republican party or President Bush's position is on an issue.
Simply put, it is Democrats who have become a party with no principles and not the Republicans.

Reynolds Wrap. Org (Liberty Post.org) is a forum of non-progressive bunker-building isolationists who plan on making a statement in the '04 election......That statement is:
We will fall on our swords before we vote against all that we stand for!.....(Only problem is, we're not sure about just what it is that we stand for!) BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE SURE MAKE A LOT OF UNSUBSTANTIATED NOISE IN THE PROCESS!

Sure Bush is a Republican that the Dems could vote for. After all Bush is socially liberal, fiscally irresponsible, wants to grant Amnesty to millions of illegals, and seems to go right into the face of millions of Americans who are against it. How many conservatives have had it with his domestic policies and will not vote next year or some throw 3rd party vote?
He gave us a tax cut and is winning the war on terrorism.

It appears to me that the democrat party stands for whatever is the opposite of what is good for this nation. That is why I am saying that the socialist, oh heck, I'll just say it, MARXISTS have taken it over. I don't think it is an accident, I believe it is by design. We underestimate them at our peril.

Why couldn't we create a forum for them as an introduction to FR FR Lite? FR for DUmmies? FR Jr for those who want to be seen as avant-garde without having to wear the VRWC-hat?

He gave us a tax cut and is wining the war on terrorism.Yahp! big deal huh? You forgot to mention that he studders a lot, sometimes his hair is messy, he wears regular clothes, he lets his dog run around in the oval office, many Democrats who have never voted Republican before, are registering in the big "R" slot, I had better quit here, I get so upset with the TERRIBLE qualities this President has!
I guess I will just have to go vote for him anyway because 75% of America is planning on it.
Not only that, I don't have a lot to do on that day so I'll vote for him because there's just nothing better to do............And most of all, it infuriates the DUs and the Buchananite Reynolds Wrappers like you!

Lieberman is. Can't say the rest of the 9 Dwarves are. But the fact is, in spite of a few comments here recently, FR is by far the best-informed and most balanced discussion site there is. Of course the more intelligent
Dems would show up here. They don't need FR Lite, they can take the reality medicine without flinching.
