I see your point, but its hard for me to imagine that number when none of them speak up. But I guess time will tell. If I just saw even the occasional post in support of Bush on ANY forum, not just Free Republic, I would accept those numbers without a second thought.
But I see no support and hear no support. Its crickets.
Those that have bought, paid for, and progammed their politicians don’t talk about it in our circles. Think about how they all came forward when threatened....like to steal that election for Cochran, to keep Murkowski in the Senate, to get reps to support Boehner when called to do so, to vote for ObamaCare, etc, etc... Somebody owns them. It’s that small percentage of the party, and it’s sick that they control the process.
