Dear Rick,
It's freaks like you who are running people to the Republican Party. They hate your filthy mouth and your stupid ideas (when you have any). Please keep it up.

I only answer to Protest Warrior.
The CIA pays much better.

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
They are the ones who get marching orders.
Somehow, the fact that he repeatedly vetoed partial-birth abortion bans that were supported by over three quarters of the American electorate-in order to placate one of the Democratic Party's more rabid constituency groups-seems to have escaped his astute analysis.

As usual the dimwits are wrong. I am a registered Libetarian who posts occasionally on Free Republic. And I have on occasion been critical of Republicans. Never been banned. I should note however that I mostly vote Republican. The main reason of course is that the Democratic alternative in this two party system is typically unpalatable. Hopefully the Dimwits will continue imploding and the second party will eventually be the Libetarians. Then the real debates about the future of our representative republic can begin.
Just Sheesh!
:o)
That's news?
By all means, return to your Marxist roots.
Great thinking!
Dear Rick,

That's like NARAL saying that 65% of Americans are PRO-CHOICE. They just add 5% more whenever they feel like it. Pretty soon they have convinced themselves it's true.
I don't know anyone else who sends out proforma letters like the left wing kooks do. I would call that "marching orders". I have yet to have ANYONE tell me what to think, as if I would listen.
It's comforting, really. Have I told you yet today that 
??
Can you say projection? Have you, in your time here, ever heard them come up with original ideas? Sheesh, talk about your top-down thinking points....
I'll stop ranting now. I could go on, because I saved all the faxes from H.Q. I must sleep, because JimRob has me signed up for ten hours tomorrow.
You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time...

The Eve of Destruction
George Bush is getting four more years to remake the world in his image. (Too bad for us, he already started.)

Tribal Warfare in America
A 30-year-old book by a progressive journalist finds that the passions of reformers can sometimes betray a contempt for the common sense of ordinary people. Sound familiar?

The Church of Bush
These are the people who, even in the face of evidence of his casual cruelty, of his unchristian contempt for weakness, of his lying ways, see something angelic in George W. Bush and love him unconditionally.

In Line for the Rapture
The Apostolic Congress, a Christian Zionist movement, has some attentive ears in the White House. How much influence do they wield on American policy in Israel?

The idea that slavish captives of the financial services industry-especially hypocritical, sanctimonious tools like Joe Biden, whose party affiliation might just as well read "MBNA"-can serve as tribunes of the poor is laughable on its face.
What's truly galling though is their complacency.
I can think of no better illustration of organized labor's chronic malaise than the recent vituperative op-ed piece penned by that ubiquitous snake-oil salesman-cum-minister Jesse Jackson, who had the nerve to cast the battle over whether national labor unions should continue to serve as the puppet-masters of the Democratic Party in virtually apocalyptic terms.
This from a man whose profession essentially boils down to demanding-and usually receiving-bribes from corporate boards in the form of numerical quotas for himself and his small coterie of racial hucksters and extortionists.
Anyone who believes that either he or his comrades in the Dem. Party-for example, Ted Kennedy, who was in large part responsible for the deregulation of the aviation industry-are genuine populists-instead of self-serving, parasitical leeches on the body politic-is deluding himself.
:)
This guy is a buffoon. I can only *hope* the Democrats take his advice.
That's the problem with the Demmicans and Republicrats. It's hard to sell the activists the party line while you're voting the corporate line. There is no way in hell that the Rats OR the Pubbies can sell their hardliners that they believe voting up corporate welfare is for the good of the country, after they've burnt up the campaign trail railing against the rich and the government, respectively.
And that's why neither party worries about it. They know the other party's got their backs. Nobody has to be concerned about the perks ever stopping while the big boys keep sending the campaign checks, and the only campaign issues continue to be stupid shit like flag burning, who narked on Plame, and whether Kerry spent his Christmas in Cambodia 20 years ago.
Meanwhile, both parties agree 100% about their most important platform plank: F anyone who doesn't send us a fat check before the elections.
"There is a website that thousands of committed Republicans spend hours on, giving and receiving marching orders."
Marching orders? LOL. I've seen our congress-critters draw their talking points from discussions on FR, but nobody here tells anyone else what to do. Liberals just don't understand the Free Market. We're here because the Left monopolized the information industry and shut all convservative thought out. So, much like talk radio, we established parallel venues to share ideas and counter the distortions of the MSM.
"When people stray from the party line, it's not unusual for them to be banned. Free Republic..."
Huh? I'm here because I can say whatever I like (as long as I don't cuss). I've been here since '98 and have never seen anyone banned for "straying from" the party line. If anything, FReepers here bitch and moan about our spineless reps in the Senate, this administrations failed border control policies, etc. Its why I left the Democrat Party (thanks Ronnie!) - liberals will not tolerate dissenting opinion.
This country needs a strong vibrant and honest oppostion party. The Dems have a responsibility, a duty, to provide one, for the betterment of the country. Problem is they have no new ideas and can't sell the old ones without lying to the public.
Rick's "analysis" is so far off the mark in its postulates that any conclusion he (or those he advises) draws are without merit. But keep at it Rick - do your part to ensure a conservative majority for the next decade.
Damn. You nailed it in less than a dozen words. ....I really need to learn to be more concise ;)
You mean that this *isn't* the worst economy since Hoover?!
