The same people, who were here in the primary/election season of '99 and 200, who are part of this group, very, VERY, vocal and adamantly opposed to "W"!
FR and its small but VERY vocal anti-Rudy group is NOT in the least representative of the American populace.
Oh, of course - every Internet community is. But there have been many articles about how mainstream social conservative groups are considering sitting the next one out in protest, in part because they do feel W has let them down. Given the relatively slim margin of victory, won't take many people staying home to elect a Dim.
If it was, there would have been a PRESIDENT BUCHANAN and a PRESIDENT KEYES ( or at least a SENATOR KEYES ) and there never has been.
Keyes was widely ridiculed and denounced on the threads that I read at the time. But I was a mere lurker then, maybe I was missing something.
