I was reading Ron Brown's Body by Jack Cashill and Free Republic was in the text. I was intrigued and lurked for awhile and had to jump in...

Gary Condit, aka the summer before 9-11.

It was court ordered as part of my probation agreement.

[Blue Jays]

Lurked for about two years before joining.

I really don’t remember how I heard of it or when but I just lurked for a long time before registering.

[cripplecreek]

I just kinda wandered in and never left.

I survived a first post vanity and apparently dad let them keep me.

[Pox]

Battling liberals and liberally biased moderators on the forums at Space.com. After getting fed up with the situation, I found FR and lurked for a couple of years before jumping in and participating.

My beloved older brother, who is not to be sneezed at when it comes to “being in the know.”

[Billthedrill]

Whitewater, and the weird behavior of the media who apparently didn’t care. And the ability to write something about it and post it to the world without some editorial board sitting on it. God bless Free Republic.

Monica Lewinsky & Bill Clinton

Trixie & Linda Tripp

[Red in Blue PA]

I always wanted to be called a newbie over and over.

9-11

[ozaukeemom]

Happened upon it while searching for something else. Lurked, then signed up around the time of the 2000 election. Still remember those days. I still lurk quite a bit, but don’t post that much. Sometimes, it gets a bit much and I take a break. But, I always come back!

[RatsDawg]

The elections of 2004.

Rathergate.

As a George Bush Democrat, it was his first State of the Union address. I was transformed and I’ve never looked back.
