Without regard to stances on the issues or political philosophy? Did you suggest JimRob supports lock-step voting practices, and that issues don't matter, and the only thing that does matter is an "R" behind the name?
If that is the case, this forum is a pawn of the Republican Party rather than a check/balance for the conservative movement and those espounding the ideals of the Founding Fathers. I don't want to speak for JimRob, but I doubt that is what he established this site to be.
In fact, to quote the home page: "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web."
