"This is not a GOP site "

I hate to disagree, but JimRob has stated that in order to advance conservatism this site must promote Republicans. There was a purge of many libertarians earlier this year because they were perceived to be anti-GOP.

"Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!"
- FR mission statement

I don't see anything about the GOP there. As I said, the reason FR heavily favors the GOP is due to the fact that the GOP is generally aligned with our goals, not the other way around. It's not uncommon to see a GOP officeholder get savaged here for being a liberal, or a Dem in disguise a.k.a. RINO. Slavish party-line toers, FReepers are not.
