Here’s one of the later threads in the series (2005 - see post 10) http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1454210/posts
I can’t turn up the older posts.
Travis was banned a long time ago. He had nothing to do with the recent “incident”.
In regards to the latest purge of the leftist, open border hacks, and assorted Republican liberal elites dressed in conservative clothing, I agree.
Oh, he was horrible. He thought he was omniscient, and screamed anyone who disagreed with him down.
And his vague name dropping was disgusting.
I lost track of how many times he opused out.
I always appreciate receiving helpful advice from others who take the time to instruct and correct me. So, at your suggestion, I will make sure to be conscious the next time I vote. Otherwise, my conscience would bother me, and you wouldn't approve.
BTW, did you ever notice that we signed up within 2 days of each other in 1998? Not sure why I noticed it now, but there you go.
He did like to opus, didn't he? I think that the next edition of Freeper Lore should give him the honors as the "most opused". Scary level of self-importance.
Read it. Thanks for the link.
That being said, I do appreciate JR taking the time to lay it out for the credulous rudy-bots.
It's trivially easy for paid campaign operatives to infest an online forum and talk up the candidate. I suspect the Giuliani affair is only the camel's nose for the upcoming election.

In reviewing what happened doesn't really seem to be all that much of a dust up ~ just a bunch of people baiting each other because there was no big story to jump on.
Now, of course, we have the Libs and RINOs in the Senate selling out America again, so we can probably get back on track quite easily.
Poor old Travis McGee, though, was simply a year early. Happened to the Republican running for Governor in Virginia too. If the election were this year, he'd be kicking Kaine's tail all over the place.
In politics timing is everything.
So by your own words, you're a year late.
Travis got kicked? Just Damn!
Just goes to show how observant I am.
I’ve heard of Free Republic, but what’s the NY Observer?
I suspect they were unable to maintain any interest in what they were up to without a readership outside their little club.
Or, maybe they all died. People with that sort of attitude usually have other health problems.
As my dear departed Daddy used to say, "Horse Hockey".
Same would have happened here if I’d have seen it. :)
One of the reasons the Gang of 12 released their so-called "compromise" legislative proposal so late in the season was to catch the benefit of the non-election year environment (where rhetoric has not already been ratcheted up) and to see if they couldn't avoid a massive blog attack.
Turned out they were wrong. They were still on TV announcing their "compromise" and I'd already sent each of my Senators my detailed opposition to several of the proposals (with reasons, numbers, etc.)
The eternal Presidential election campaign we are now into has managed to ratchet up the rhetoric election year or not, and the internet is so fast no politician can manage to get ahead of it.
Uh huh.

JimRob hasn't gone overboard, he's just doing what any real conservative who owns a conservative web forum would and should do, acting to defend and protect our liberties and our conservative values. Giuliani is an enemy of both liberty and conservative values, and a conservative web forum should not allow his operatives to infiltrate the site with the intent to propagandize on his behalf. I commend JimRob for taking the steps he took, I would have done the same thing only sooner.
