Well, at some point people who like a campaign end up working for it...whether in a volunteer or paid capacity.

when this started out several months ago, I know she wasn't with the campaign.

And if you know I post over there, I guess you are reading over there, too. You could try joining, but I suppose you're not interested.

Want to know why I joined? So I could talk to some people who are my friends who aren't here any more, like Arne Fufkin, MadIvan, and now PhiKapMom and probably some more.

I don't support Guiliani, and haven't picked anyone to back. I tend to lean more towards Romney, but that's just me.

Let me share an anecdote about Peach, if I may....

A number of months back she and I had a conversation about the continued infiltration of FR by DU trolls that began as a campaign in the 90's by Hillary.

She told me about the book "Hillary's War," and proudly told me about JimRob's introduction to it, and the references to FR in the book.

I hadn't read it, so she sent it to me to read, and was clearly very proud to be a part of FR in those days, and still was very proud JimRob and FR.

That was just months ago.

And now, the owner of this forum, which she was so proud of and honored to be a part of, has banned her and called her 'an idiot'.....among other things. And she has been ridiculed and personally attacked on this thread by many because of the political candidate that she chose to support.

There are a lot of us who are wondering what's going on here, Jim. A lot who are afraid to post anything on this thread, and some of us who are either brave enough, or stupid enough to stick our necks out and try to figure out what's going on.

Peach was a fine freeper, and IS a top quality human being. She just chose to support the wrong guy, and not back down from it. That was her grave sin.

I'm just wondering aloud here if she is really the kind of person you want to permanently remove from Free Republic.........one who loves this country, and despises the Clintons. Because if she is, then many others, who know her mettle, will always wonder if they (we) will be next.

I want FR to be a beacon of truth and reason, and to have a strong voice in next year's election, but I am wondering what damage will be done to its credibility by what has happened here.

There's a name from the past. I hope he has gotten more polite since I last dealt with him.

If I came over and joined would you let me in the top secret squirrel hideout? No, you say anyone can join, but only the select are really let in. If your place is so nice and sweet, then why when I posted a link to a thread there was that thread YANKED? What did you all have to hide over there?
