Debate is good - I have no problem with that. Telling Rudy posters they should not post here because Rudy is a liberal and they don't belong here is not debate. That is what is going on here. You guys are getting what you want - why not leave it at that and enjoy it? Don't keep riding it into the ground - you did that enough already.

Please show me where I have ever said that. I don't also see JimRob saying Rudy boosters cannot post any longer on FR either. He was simply stating the obvious, as many here have - that Rudy is NOT a conservative, that he will have a very hard time holding the base, he will have a very hard time holding up to the Dem attack machine, and Rudy threads should NOT get special protection from critical comments as a result.

You seem to want to create a bubble around your Rudy threads. It's a big, bad internet, and if you want to create a blog or forum for that, more power to you. I'd even read it from time to time if it had any interesting info.

But FR is a CONSERVATIVE FORUM. That means that Conservative Views are the reason most are here, and that we EXPRESS OUR OPINIONS about the posted subjects.

Unfortunately they are incapable of seeing that they drag the entire site down with them, its stature, quality, and appeal. Lurkers are always watching these antics, how embarrassing for us all.

Who specifically wants the Rudy supporters to leave FR? Passionate differences of opinion are what makes this site great.
