I am thinking about that almost everyday Jim.
As long as the Rats are as evil as they are; the Republicans can become as liberal as they please and the conservative vote is taken for granted. The infestation of the Republican Party is well on its way. Wait until Arnold starts… You and I both know this is ocurring.
There has to be a more effective way then just debating and agreeing on issues (You and I agree on 99% from what I have seen) then just voting for the Republican ticket.
If that is the case, then The Free Republic is just an arm of the RNC, an instant check of the mood and convictions of the posters. And not forgetting the daily foundation of 99% of all conservative Talk Radio hosts programing.
I have learned more about America from this website than any other source in my life. I am pleased to be able to post here and have discussion with other conservatives and Liberals.
At times I'm not sure the GOP is trying hard enough to go in the right direction.
I guess the auto-assumption that an (R) is preferable to a (D) is mostly correct, but under certain circumstances I'd probably vote 3rd party.
