What fairy tales would that be ?
This one:
You know as well as I do, that's not true. FReepers don't represent the cross-section of America.To: Spiff; Jim RobinsonWhat someone needs to do ( with Jim's permission) is to send Jim's letter to Brit Hume for his "From the Political Grapevine" segment.
A poll of about 200,000 FReepers shows that McCain only gets less than 10% support of Conservatives, Republicans, and Independents.
I wonder if King Brit would mention FR's anger at McCain?
You don't have any problem with McCain's "Keating 5" behavior or ditching his first (drug addicted) wife to obtain the current "trophy wife"? Neither of those behaviors shows good personal integrity. McCain is a gun grabber...no different from Al Gore except for the "R" following his name. In this link, McCain is offering a gun show ban to add more pain to the attempts to extend the "assault weapon" ban.
Wrong.
He walked out on his wife when she was dying of cancer. That's a little different from the situation with RR.
Its my understanding his wife left him and that the reason was partly due to his conservative politics.
Thanks. I meant to ask you for that link last night but we started talking about Hillary and I forgot.
All of FReeperdom should call McCain out on his treason.
*MY* blog is NOT a magazine - it is MY personal space on the internet and MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Come and take it, Darth McVain!

I have respect for good men and women of accomplishment. Being a senator, governor, president, etc. is very difficult. No matter what you do, at least 40% of the people you represent are going to hate your guts.
Most every "rino" I defend is a person of accomplishment and when taken as a whole is a good person.
The only person who will agree with you on every issue is YOU. And you are not god. You are not a dictator. You are a very small part of a republic/democracy. If the only people you like are people who agree with you, you will like no one and you will find your life to be empty and lonely.
and I liked paul wellstone. he was a good man. I did not like any of his positions, but I'd trust him to repay a loan or babysit my children.
Yet, George Allen is regular trashed here.
Birchers, Puritans, Patsters, Keyeters and Losertarians.
I personally believe McCain won't get the nomination.
Count me in on your side, Jim.
McCain? No way!!
Do tell... And how many other liberal Democrat or RINO scum do you like?
No, but those here represent a cross section of the GOP base.
On Terri the base was divided. FR polls indicated as much. On the ports the base was divided. Polls on FR evidenced the same attitude. On Miers in the second poll opinion was overwhelmingly against her confirmation. That aptly represented the base. Opinion was very highly in favor of Roberts and Alito, that evidenced the sentiments of the base.
McCain's not hitting the general election without getting through the GOP base. Unless he takes the Independent road. And the GOP base despises him. It is newsworthy that an active conservative board such as this one registers such high negatives against his probable candidacy.
Me, too.
As I said back in 244........LOL.
Hold yer horsies on that one!
He has megatons of money and let me ping you to some information. I think I have pinged you, but I'll recheck.
Bump
and to find later.
Please quote Beagel8U's precise statement where he said that Free Republic, or the poll he mentioned, represented a cross section of America.
They're all here like the annoying white noise to distract the rest of us from the ultimate objective.
That was my statement. A statement I stand by. You have a problem with dealing with reality? That's your problem. Not mine.
That's right --- never happy, always complaining, always criticizing, but rarely CONSTRUCTIVELY.
