You should know better than posting this rant on a Republican website.
Ummm, no.... FR is a "Conservative website". As in:
Welcome to Free Republic!Nowhere on the rather extensive Home Page does the word "Republican" appear. OBTW, "Rb ver. 2.0" (2006-07-08), Welcome to Free Republic. Learn a few more things about FR before you post next time.Free Republic is the premier 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!
We're supposed to be the ones with principles. If the best we can say about our candidates is "Well, the other guy is worse", then we have lost our way.
I would like to think the freepers I've marched with are more about ideology than party, but you seem to be right. Here in Syracuse we have Congressman James Walsh, pork-barrel extremist who funnels millions in tax dollars to wealthy Syracuse University and other recipients...our city is worse off than 18 years ago when he took office. His opponent might do better, he might do worse, but bottom line, we cannot afford to continue down the same path...and expect different results.
