Perhaps these people are delighted that Free Republic finally allows criticism of the G.O.P. Back in the day you were called a communist for telling the truth about RINOs. It turned me off of FR for many years. They used to compare GWB to Reagan as a genuine conservative. Very discouraging.
Now that’s a bit of a stretch.
Many if not most of us here didn’t want GWB in 2000 during the primary. He was establishment Republican all the way and we knew it.
But once he was the nominee most of us united around him, especially in light of Al Gore being the other guy.
“Perhaps these people are delighted that Free Republic finally allows criticism of the G.O.P.”
Very true! I was banned on an illegal immigration thread 10 or 12 years back for commenting about “Jorge Bush”.
