Rules are sort of everything. We accept the results of a contest of any kind, only because we believe rules were followed. Our guy lost, but we have confidence that it was a fair fight.

Oh great, another Free Republic blog leech!
It seems a few people have recently joined up. I don’t recall seeing so many new people in a long time.
Welcome to Free Republic. Now post the whole thing. I’m not going to click on your blog.

Nah. You can post your blog trash right here.
Nobody owes you any hits.
Maybe get yourself a job.

That's their end game. They win.
If we let them.
Hey, it’s easier than doing something real.
And doing something real would upset the people that paid lots of money to steal the election.
Then there are the people in the inner cities that would be upset. And those people get violent when their upset.
Not that these is anything wrong with that! Please don’t call me racist. Whimper, whimper, grovel, grovel.
