The divide between Freeper's in the Trump vs. Cruz battle is more heated than I recall any other divide of Freerepublic. Just about every thread immediately devolves to a nasty fight that carries from one thread to another.
I think we need to be careful with each other because both camps need each other after the primary. Can we just agree to disagree and move on? We have more in common with each other than not.
Me too.
Shouldn't the age of consent be 13, like in Mexico?

I see the same. We used to be able to discuss, and tease, but it has devolved into vicious sniping with a lot of the same FR users. I’ve found that a lot of them signed up recently.
I’ve seen unrelated topics turn into primary campaign smears, not even staying on topic. Sheesh.
I was a Fredhead back here at FR in '08. Those dust ups with Hunter supporters were small beans versus the all out war here now.
There is only a handful of knuckleheads doing this. Perhaps they could be banned until after the election.
This one is fun, enjoy the chaos while it lasts.
Thoughtful post. Its that kind of post that I look forward to even if I were to disagree.
Or 8 like it is in certain areas of the Middle East..........
Trump comes first. You're obviously a paid shill.
I see what you did there 0_o
Maybe, but at least we had the humor, ASH alerts, and turtles on posts to distract from our dysfunctions.
No Divorce.
In a Free Republic and marriages there will always be dissenting views.
In our history the eventual friendships and deaths of Jefferson and Adams were a harbringer of who we can be, should be.
What I like best about this site is the education I get and the laughs because there are some seriously funny freepers.
But yes some of this dig in and shoot each other attitude is a waste of shot.
Shot that needs to eventually destroy the other guys fort not ours
I lost my butt on those threads.
I no longer have an *...
outofsalt, see what I did there?
The name calling like your post and many Cruz posters don’t help anyone.
End of the day, Politics is blood sport, if anyone regardless of who they back are going to get their panties in a bunch because folks involved in the game are playing what they feel are dirty pool, they really don’t get politics at all.
I’ve been called all sorts of names over the 20+ years I’ve been here... Usually because I am advocating a viewpoint that is not an ideological knee jerk, by someone, or someones involved in an ideological knee jerk. I’ve been called a communist, a liberal, and told to go to DU more times than I can count whenever I just put forth a reasonable counter proposal to what I feel are irrational arguments.
I don’t hate Cruz, and I don’t love Trump, but where our nation is today, someone needs to tell the Kingmakers enough is enough, and I don’t see how that happens with anyone who’s taken their money getting the White House. This nation has gotten to the point where liberal v conservative is the small game.... We are talking about the very future of our country as a free and independent state... and the path to it failing ends up in the same place at this point regardless of which party wins because neither one of them put America first.
If you ask me, America first, or Conservatism first.. America will win that battle every time. Both parties have strayed so far afield that neither one of them are doing what should be the absolute baseline... PUT AMERICA FIRST... PERIOD. You can’t have an ideological debate about what is the best course of action to solve America’s problems, if neither side is even willing to admit or focus on America’s problems and issues! At this point to me the liberal v conservative debate is bread and circuses.. both have shown they don’t give a damn about america and neither are putting her best interests first... so to try to frame this election in those terms is just bread and circuses.
The arguments are most likely a result of a too big government meddling in our daily lives. Change that with your vote.
Never post or say anything over any electronic media that you wouldn't want cited in your tribunal...
I’ll be so happy when SEC Tuesday comes and (hopefully) we can get back to trashing Democrats.
They don't need a divorce
They need to separate for a time for prayer and fasting
Cruz, to be clear, is a first term Senator, not a DC-insider and did not make a “career in politics” in DC.
Some may be confused by the accusation that a career in politics means a DC career in politics.
Cruz’s Texas political career, no doubt, lead lawyer for the conservative state and all that (never governor), but let’s not forget DC insiders/politicians hate Cruz.
Im for whoever has the best chance of winning. There is no doubt in my mind that person is Teflon Donald J. Trump! He is a fight to the death gladiator who fears no other candidate, no news media, no talk show host, no religious leader, no ex-president and is beholden to NoOne! The Democratics will be slaughtered in a landslide by Trump!
