The problem is that FR is becoming a single issue website, immigration, and as more and more bail out it becomes more so.
As it becomes tilted, its value as a conservative news index lessens and the lurkers leave.
FR played a major role in the impeachment. Since then, many have tried to harness that to promote their agenda. They all failed.
The immigration crowd has succeded.
If this is the case, then they owe you (and a handful of others) their undying thanks.
Without the baiting and provocations of a few of you 90% of the illegal immigration threads would have sputtered out after 25 or so posts.
Most of the posters willfully bailing are Open Border advocates whom are decidedly on the left in the republican party. This development only makes FR More not less conservative.

Back then, FR was much more conservative. The RINO contingent, though present, was small and not very vocal. Ever since that time this forum has seen a flood of "Party over Country" types that have taken FR way to the left.
You will also recall that during Clinton's impeachment Conservative Activism on FR was at its greatest height. I wonder what happened?
I disagree. It is common for a freeper in the minority on a given topic (such as you on this particular topic) to feel this way. A good example are the "Let Terri Die" minority of freepers. They have been bitching that FR has become an all-Terri Schiavo site. Also, the third party people always complain around election time that FR is an "Elect Bush" site.
FR is as vibrant as ever.
