A lot of them are GOP operatives, you will never hear a word critical of Bush or the GOP leadership, should Bush hand over the usa to the UN tomorrow, you would heard what a brilliant move it was by W.
I am an old line conservative, I used to be a donor and worker for the GOP, but after 5 years of neocon (new democrat policies, in GOP clothing) I am finished with the GOP. The GOP has been taken over by moderate Democrats and it is no longer a conservative party, unfortunately the Rats are out and out commies/socialists so it is off to a third (fringe) party I go. There are still a few good folks left in the GOP, but they like me are no longer welcome and will soon be purged by the party bosses.
Hopefully enough will leave/booted out to at least make something like the CP a thorn in the side of the anti-American D's and R's.
It does seem that certain factions have infiltrated popular conservative message boards. The way they worship the party line gets a little disgusting. They think the government will take care of them, always. Well the USSC just came right out and told us that we don't have any property rights, if someone comes along and offers them more for our land. I noticed most of the usual suspects stayed off those threads.
I registered Republican on my 18th birthday, and have voted in all but one major election since then. 99% of my votes went to Republicans, and I am pissed off!
