If your Catholic don't come here, Jewish don't bother, Mormon’s? not at free Republic...

You forgot "Indian"

It sure isn't the FR it was.

Used to be one could have some civil conversations about things that mattered -

Now, you nailed it on the head, all one has to do is type "Catholic, Jewish, Mormon" or Indian and the Hound of the Baskervilles and all his minions descend.

A thread on the military will be lucky to get 7 hits but if a thread title contains "O.J" or "Paris" or "Brittany" - it'll run on for hundreds of posts.

Not the FR it used to be -

Then there's this - the voting on the side bar:

If it's McCain vs Hillary in the general, how do you vote?

McCain 69.5%

Write-in 9.2%

Third Party 8.9%

Stay home 3.9%

Hillary 3.6%

Leave blank 3.3%

Pass 1.5%

So maybe there's some of the old FR's still lurking?

It seems to me, tho', that FR has deteriorated alarmingly in the past year or so...damn shame

I would like to suggest the possibility that some people clicked the wrong selection. :) And what about the voters whose choice wasn’t on the poll? Put them in write in? I think people like Keyes should have been on the poll. period. he’s a conservative that apparently isn’t liberal enough to be repub perhaps?

Yep, according to the poll about 30.5% of of the old FR is remaining.
