Well well well. First of all, I am not a Rudy fan at all. I was thinking of supporting Duncan Hunter in the primary. My point is this, all the name-calling and insults are pretty sad. Trying to suppress the opinions of others sounds to me like the liberals who disrupt conservative speakers on campuses. As for being new on the site, I am. I have been reading comments on Free Republic for about a year now and just recently decided to join. I didn't realize that I would be attacked because I am new. The RABID nature of attacks on people with opposite views does not help your candidate and may actually hurt them.
If you've been reading (lurking) on FR for a year, you would be VERY familiar with the cautious skeptism members have with new posters (potential TROLLS). Not to mention some who have been around a little longer. Welcome to FR.
