Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

Judging from the responses on this thread, most FReepers have clearly forgotten the main reason why FR was established.

No, we're just realistic. Bush will win in a landslide, and votes from the Constitution Party will represent less than 1% of the popular vote as usual.

No conservative President can dismantle all the socialist programs and federal departments with a snap of his/her fingers - get real.

With a premise like this, it would seem that there would be more positive input about a candidate that actually intends to govern according to his oath of office, and that's not something we have seen from either Bush, either Clinton, Gephardt, or Dean.

You're absolutely correct, however it appears that the FreeRepublic has been taken hostage by partisan party hacks. Each poster within this forum is suppose to bend over and take one for the republican party just for the sake of "power and control".

Welcome to the new 'conservative' party. Where to be called conservative you just have to be a shade less liberal than your opponent. Oh, and have a R by your name.

What the fringers ignore, completely, is that the FIRST diktat, from Jim, is that we must do everything humanly possible, to remove as many Dems, from elected offices. It is difficult to do that, when some would rather vote fringe party than GOP. When some Conservatives go fringe, they only help the Dems! That does less than nothing,on every level, to roll back what the Dems have spent decades installing!

Amen. I agree that the war on terrorism is important. However, the greatest threat to our liberty is statists in the Republican and Democratic parties.
