The thing I've noticed about FReeper supporters of Rudy...the majority of them are women or seem to use feminine nicknames.

The other thing I've noticed...this is not the forum I entered in 2004. It's no longer a conservative platform. It's dominated by RINOs, East Coast RINOs who think they and their New York candidate know what's good for the rest of us. Who knew that FReepers supported abortion, gun control and homosexuality? I've seen every excuse for this man with all his liberal philosophies. It's sickening, and there's a long haul to go before it finally ends. By that time, you won't know the difference between FR and DU.

That's because you are very limited on your knowledge of this forum.

In 2000, the exact same thing happened over the candidate George W Bush. The vile and venom is about the same. Many W supporters were banned then also, as have been this time around.

The hate for W still exists here and the comparison of the nasty nature of DU with FR has never changed, with the exception of language allowed for posters to use. DU has no restrictions on fowl language.

I'm sure Ronald Reagan would have had the same negativity if this forum were around during his Presidency. Many here are just not open to other peoples beliefs or ideas. They also tend to be the very hardest to the right on the conservative spectrum. In fact, anyone not exactly in line with their rigid way of thinking, are "RINOS". They also have a tendency to label other people who they don't agree with or who share a different outlook than they do.

There have always been Rino's here, but their numbers have increased a lot. Now they use the same responses and reactions as the left, rather than engage. We are racists, rubes, buffoons, hayseeds, and don't love the GOP enough to keep voting for their crappy Rino betrayers.

Yet I had a real conservative running in my district last time as the party nominee. The national party pulled out and let him lose to an ACLU Democrat, and the Rino's here applauded. Kind of hard to form alliances with people like that.

No one on FR supports Rudy because of his positions on abortion, guns, gays, and illegals...those that do support him in spite of them (I am a New Yorker, but I've been a fairly vocal critic).

But don't worry, I don't think Rudy is packing for the whitehouse just yet.
