The Democrat Party is FAR WORSE and has NOTHING to offer. Note tagline

I agree with what you say. You must realise however, most of us in FR already know how we will vote. We are NOT the swing voters. It scares me to see the popularity of the GOP in FR during these times and I will not stick my head in the sand nor will I blame Freepers for being unhappy that the president we help get re-elected and his party are selling out the USA.

The problem is this. If there is so much dissent here within FR... just what do you think the average American voter who only sees a maximum of 30 minutes of news a day, only reads only the headlines on the front pages of newspapers and is not involved in political blogs. This is the swing voter and this swing voter does NOT support amnesty and this swing voter knows who is in power at the moment and this swing voter does NOT pledge his allegiance to any particular party.

When you see the unhappiness within the base you can blame the base all you want, but also multiply this unhappiness many times more outside of FR with the average American voter.

Then add the libs into all of this and just how encourage they are becoming over the 2006 election as they see the GOP and Bush fail their base.

I'm a realist

You are a realist, MV, and your points are good ones. The arguments you have given are why I said what I did in my post. We must spread the truth that the Democrat Party would be much worse, that President Bush has prevented a repeat of 9/11 and taken the war on terror to the terrorists, and that the economy is booming (despite Democrat propaganda). We must also let the Republicans know that their base is furious for the reasons that you and I have both stated.

Many people lurk here on FR. My posts have been quoted in the "Mainstream Newsmedia", not frequently but enough to indicate that many people, even those hostile to FR, read these posts.

This is one way to get the truth out.
