McCain - good God !!!!

[Ragtop]

Why is it in every story about tis poll or that poll they cite McCain’s support for the war as his one weakness, when all Republican candidates have voiced support for the war? McCain’s support is flaling not because of his support for the war, but for his continual backstabbing of the party’s base.
It could also be argued that Rudy’s high polling is due to his support for the war.

**”Even if you find you don’t agree with him on one or two issues,” Lathan said, “I’d rather have 90 to 95 percent of a friend than 100 percent of a liberal enemy.”**

More like a 5% to 10% friend to 100% enemy.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

At the same time, Lathan said, Giuliani is the only GOP contender capable of beating each of the possible Democratic nominees. "Even if you find you don't agree with him on one or two issues," Lathan said, "I'd rather have 90 to 95 percent of a friend than 100 percent of a liberal enemy."

You should see what's been posted on Free Republic about his record then.

I think you misinterpreted the thrust of the comments made at WA. The poster indicated that they, the members of WA, should stop posting stuff at FR and instead post them at WA instead. I have no problem with that and hope most of them continue to visit, post and comment on FR as well. On the other hand we know that some who members of both WA & FR are still posting here on this and other threads and mixing it up with other Freepers who support the stated goals of FR.

Here is another WA comment on the same post I described in my original posting at FR. For clarity I will include the original WA post as well. At the end I post another WA comment that well describes the underlying issue I am concerned about. I regret that I am unable to ping the poster of that last comment as his/her account has been banned or suspended.

People, we need to get over the FR site and start posting articles and commenting. We have to help WA grow. I know it's hard to find interesting articles because the MSM is treating all Republican candidates with a big yawn, but we need things to discuss besides FR which is getting old quickly.

Hi Merry, I think a big part of it is that people need to vent a bit about what happened and circumstances that brought them here, and it usually involves TOS. Some have just arrived here and others have been here a few days or weeks. It's a relief to see old friends on threads and natural to want to touch on what occurred there. That said, I think as new posters settle in and learn their way around, they'll see that the Salt River area and chat are the best places to discuss TOS.

Yes, it can be hard to find good news articles. An alternative would be to post threads with opinion pieces by favorite columnists. I'm pretty computer challenged and never posted a thread on another site but found it quite easy to do so here.

EAGLE'S TALON (aka PSYCHO-FREEP) & aligncare

Playing with the pseudo-ping list.

It appears the brown shirts are beginning to obsess about WAves. As the thinning continues apace, the grand irony is that ToS itself has become the ultimate anti-FR site. Just when you think it can't become any more absurd, JR has weighed in on as to the question of whether or not one must be a Christian in order to be a Conservative. Ay carumba!, yet another litmus test, defined not by popular consent within a framework of limited government, but by some weird cabal of Taliban.

This is worthy of a doctoral dissertation unto itself; the demise of an institution via voluntary forum-cide

Sssssh...the walls have ears.

I would suggest taking this conversation to the discussion called "FR" on salt river...

Sorry areafiftyone, but you’re hopelessly naive if you honestly believe the people of the state of Alabama are going to vote for Rudy Giuliani once his views are well known by the time the primary rolls around to that state. Your shilling has reached “stuck on stupid” levels.

[NapkinUser]

Lathan said, "I'd rather have 90 to 95 percent of a friend than 100 percent of a liberal enemy."

Too bad Rudy Giuliani is about 85% of a liberal enemy.

[mkjessup]

And in a Bible Belt state, the past turmoil in Giuliani's personal life is another potential trouble spot. Now on his third marriage, he became involved with his current wife while still married to his second. More than half of those surveyed in the new Press-Register poll ranked character and morals as the most important factor in deciding which candidate to support.

[RetiredArmy]

I live in Alabama and they sure as hell did not ask me on this poll. I will not vote for either the loud mouthed fool McScream or the liberal cross-dresser Rudi.

The time for name recognition only polls is coming to a close...
