I don’t see Fred supporters as crazily defending their candidate. I see them as crazily defending conservatism. Free Republic is a conservative forum, not a Republican forum and as such you should expect nothing less.
That is exactly what we are defending. Conservatism. We don’t want a Million dollar liberal in a conservative coat of colors. We don’t want a fiscal liberal who seems to be ready to grow government influence through the roof. It is like the Geico lizard says “If you want loads of friends, giving away money is not a bad idea”.
“Free Republic is a conservative forum, not a Republican forum and as such you should expect nothing less.”
There are tons of populist also.
