On another thread page, you said that the mission statement on the home page is still current. Others have since expressed their doubts, and I would like to know if this applies to my questions below.

Since President Bush has exceeded Bill Clinton in terms of federal largesse, it seems to me that supporting Bush's campaign contradicts this statement.

As a U.S. citizen, I support Bush in his efforts to carry out his Constitutionally-authorized duties as President for his elected tenure, and I am thankful when he fulfills them.

Considering that he has signed bills that implement unconstitutional spending and infringe on Constitutional liberties (such as campaign finance reform) and that he has called for further government expansions, we know that he intends to further roll out (not "roll back") federal largesse.

May we continue to post about efforts to stop acheivement of his intentions of liberally spending our tax dollars?

As a "gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism" are posts about non-Republican conservative efforts also allowed?

I am grateful that this was the case in the past, and I hope that FreeRepublic will continue to "champion causes which further conservatism in America" and "have fun doing it!"

Yes, advancing conservatism, etc, is the mission statement. We do that by electing the most conservative people we can possibly elect and by doing all we can to ensure that conservative judges get appointed and confirmed, and by doing all we can to see that America and our freedom and liberty is defended and preserved. And, obviously (to most of us), helping to elect the United Nations loving, abortionist, gay agenda advancing, Marxist/liberal John Kerry would be a giant step backwards from where we are today.

Bush will defend America. Kerry will surrender to the United Nations.

Bush has said no to Kyoto and other sovereignty robbing treaties. Kerry will sign on to all he possibly can.

Bush will appoint conservative judges. Kerry will appoint liberal activists.

Bush is a proven tax cutter. Kerry has sworn to raise our taxes.

Bush is pro-life, pro-family, pro-God, pro-gun, pro-America. Kerry is an America hating, abortionist, homosexualist, feminist, godless pinko hippy peacenik.

Either we reelect Bush or obviously we get stuck with the corrupt Kerry. That would be a huge setback to our conservative causes.

Free Republic is a grass roots organization and it IS independent of any party, including any third parties, but that doesn't mean we can't support the best available conservative for the job. I defend America. I defend freedom. I support the conservative cause and I wholeheartedly support Bush for reelection and want nothing whatsoever to do with splitting the conservative vote thereby helping to usher in another corrupt liberal Democrat.

Like I said above, if you want to promote a spoiler do it elsewhere. Free Republic is a place to advance conservatism, not liberalism.
