When the third party Bush bashers start running off the very people I'm trying to attract to FR it's time to draw the line. I'm using FR to support the war effort and I'm behind our commander-in-chief 100% in that regard. And despite some of his policies that I don't like, I still believe that he is a thousand times better for America and for conservatism in the long run that any Democrat. I am not going to stand by and allow a bunch of malcontents attempt to sabotage our efforts here on FR for some third party utopian pipe dream that doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being successful. Sorry that's just the way it is.

I don't belong to a third party, - I agree with the principles of the RLC.

I'm not a Bush basher nor am I trying to run off the very people you're trying to attract to FR, as supposedly, we are still dedicated to restoration of constitutiuional liberty.
I support the initial aims of the war effort and I'm behind our commander-in-chief 100% in that regard.
And despite some of his policies that I don't like, I still believe that he's an honorable man. [renewing the AWB could change that]
Nor am I a malcontent attempting to sabotage your efforts here on FR for some third party utopian pipe dream that doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being successful.

Don't know if I see it that way Jim -- You're seeing a living, breathing Free Republic. Honest people are being honest. Other people are understandably defensive about the President.

The President has clearly made a couple of bad choices, and we who voted for him are voicing our displeasure with THOSE issues. While Dubya has done a tremendous job in fighting the WoT, and is certainly better than a Rat, we sincerely hope he respects and heeds some opinions here at FR -- we feel we have a ship that has veered a bit off course and should be righted.
