It's clear that across the board, FR is considered to be a gauge of how Conservatives/GOPers are thinking and responding to events. From the Dixie Chicks, to Daily Variety, to FoxNews, plus of course the various anti-FR nutters, this forum garners attention. While by no means monolithic in thought, FR in general reflects the mainstream of the right. At the least one can observe the arguments pro and con on issues of importance from a Conservative POV here.
Yes, proving once again that the debate and ideas are on the Right.
The Left is dead.
Except for the MSM/Hollywood/Academia who keep that ideology on life support, as if any of their ideas, theories, and actions have ever worked.
The left has monopoly on all propaganda, culture and political.
Not surprising that Charles would like him -- Hawkish on foreign policy but weak on social issues -- they're a good match.
But shame on Fred, he should know better!
BRIT RULES!!!
One can figure that out just by lurking at DU or Huffington Post. The threads are jammed with profanity, spam, and Bush-hating nuttery. Nothing of substance or value. I'll say this for the odious twit Kos, he manages on his front page anyway, to keep it issue-oriented. I rarely read the threads there though.
And the fact is that the Dems won by running (their version of) moderates, parading as fiscal Conservatives. They can only win by pretending to be us.
McCain does not have the personal fortune Perot had, and I don't think the big donors will bankroll him to make up the difference.
Split or drain the pubbie vote, however you can, and roll into the white house with 45%..or so.
She knows she'll never win in a heads up fight.
McCain.. Soon to be a historical footnote like Captn Bligh
What makes you think the big donors won't bankroll him?
I would think he will be their primary beneficiary
I thought computers could tell votes coming from the same computer by now, or not?
Now of course, one could vote from two or tree different computers... but that would not be same as voting 10 times from the same computer. Does anyone know about this?
Give me a break. There's "non-perfect" and then there's John McCain. This broken glass Republican (having NEVER cast a democrat vote in a lot of elections) and Republican party official has serious doubts about McCain's mental-stability and suitability to be holding the nuclear codes.
Were he just a back-stabbing, say-anything-to-get-elected media-whore, I would hold my nose and vote for him. Whoever the dems put up will be no better in that regard. Heck, I would hold my nose and vote for Linclon Chafee over HRC.
But the ability to make good decisions under pressure is a key component in the presidency. McCain may be genuinely dangerous in that regard. He would have to do a lot of convincing me on the mental stability issue before he gets my vote in the general election.
Sorry to burst your bubble but we have decided to not vote if McCain or Rudy are the GOP choice. Do not like either one and would never vote DeMARXocrat.
Thanks, John. So you're polls are quite accurate -- unless a group from the DUmpster expends lots of time & energy to try to skew the results, which is not too likely to happen even for them.
Not this fence. I'd vote 3rd party for the first time if McCain is the nominee. I waaaay prefer Rudy -- at least you know what you're getting with Rudy and a LOT of it is good. You never know which McCain is gonna show up.
BTTT
Exactly.
"members only" is an underwear brand.
I would too. I'd low crawl naked over 2 miles of broken glass to cast a vote against the Beast.
But Britt reported that FreeRepublic Polls are not limited to one vote per person implying that one person could vote unlimited times. I did not believe this was possible on a FreeRepublic Poll. I know I am only able to vote once in each poll. So, what gives?
That's probably because it is not a statistical sample but a poll of everybody who is actively posting.
I was very impressed when I saw it. Thank you for posting this. IIRC, it was 6000+ votes about 90 - 9%.
