I am so much more in tune with reality than you are that it's really funny. I guarantee you that the vast majority of "conservatives" in your neighborhood and in the nation will pull that lever for Bush next November.

You can't guarantee anything because you don't know.

And, frankly, I think those who say we should do otherwise should lose their right to post here.

This is "Free Republic" remember? Maybe you would be more comfortable starting your own website - might I suggest some titles: "Communist Dictatorship", "Thought Police Central", "Beserkly University"... Maybe you could try that line on Jim Robinson or the Admin Moderator. Go ahead...e-mail them and see if you can shut someone up because you don't like what they have to say.

"This is "Free Republic" remember?"

Yep. It refers to keeping our republic free, not to freely allowing all kinds of harmful tripe to be posted. And anyone who thinks we'll be a freer republic if Bush is defeated is posting harmful tripe.

Jim Robinson did exactly that in 2000. He banished a large number of Brigadiers for advocating just what you propose.
