I thought he was one of us. But he seems to be a double agent.

Actually, many freepers frequently call Bush as a RINO because of his failings on the immigration issue. But I understand your point. It is just that dissent on the Iraq war is not tolerated.
To paraphrase pinochet, "which FReeper here has never had a critical thought about George W. Bush, or said something critical of George W. Bush in private?" Many people here criticized Bush's choice of Harriet Myers and many criticize his immigration policies, among other issues.
