Powerful !
Welcome to Free Republic !
Thank you for your welcome!
I was a member years ago under a name I’ve forgotten and before that a very ardent and active Republican conservative. In the intervening years, however, I became quite disillusioned with most of the prominent party leaders and lost nearly all interest in politics.
That is, until John McCain — for whom I would have only voted with the greatest reluctance — surprised me and chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. I even made a donation to the campaign and once again see hope that maybe the Republican Party isn’t just another “me-too” party after all.
Thanks again for your warm welcome.
