Anyone else notice that the Ron Paul divide falls about the year 2000?

Yeah. Actually we had more with Bush-era dates but they have wisely withdrawn and watch quietly to avoid the zot. But many of them are supporting Ron Paul in the campaign. Just not here.

Some of the others with newer dates kind of opused out, not caring that much for a restricted speech forum and I think it had something to do with all the bans a few years back of those who opposed the invasion of illegals. Kind of a cumulative thing they had about free speech in general. There are lots of free places to post now. FR is no longer the only conservative forum on the internet though it's probably still the largest.

There are considerable numbers of FReepers supporting Ron Paul. Quietly.

FR and many FReepers have banked a lot on Fred Thompson. If he can't make it, are they ready for Mitt? How about Rudi, eh?

I swear, if somehow it comes down to Rudy vs. Hillary vs. Paul, the glory-day FR threads on McClintock/Arnold, Schiavo, the drug war, and evolution are alll going to look like tea parties.
