Yep, you and your kind REALLY " sent a message " to the GOP, when Clinton was elected TWICE ...NOT!

The nice thing about Freerepublic is that even people who have no idea what they are talking about get to have their say. Good to see you exercising that privelege again.

FYI, I did my part in '92 and '96, and again in '00, voting straight Republican ticket each time.

All those times, I did so with the assumption that I was voting for conservatives. Since then, I've outgrown the whole "blind optimism" thing. The Patriot Act and CFR did it for me. I don't know what it will take for you, but someday, friend, maybe you will outgrow it too.
