I came on at about the same time. The Clintons were in the WH and the Lewinsky thing was just starting. I asked the question that one cannot ask about the Clintons: Who are these people?
Looking for an answer to that brought me to FR. Been here ever since.
I found FR on The Drudge Report. He had a link titled "Whitewater Files" and it brought me here. Been here ever since. Attended Free Republic's March for Justice in D.C. in October 1998, met Jim Robinson, and many other Freepers from all over the country.
