Having been at FreeRepublic as a "contributor" instead of a lurker for the last couple of weeks I'm amazed at the pesimistic attitude shown on so many of these threads

There is a fair share of chicken littles on FR. IMO, most are probably demo trolls(ala the punk rocker Moby's admission reported yesterday in the NY Daily News), others are third partiers, others are just people who always see the glass half empty and have a fatalistic attitude.

I missed the Moby/NY Daily News thing - what was that about?

There will always be people for whom the glass is not half empty - it's bone dry.

However, we need to work hard until Election Day to be SURE that Effin' Kerry (or the Dems' flavor of the month) doesn't ever occupy the People's House.
