Rush's Ratings Double Thanks To 0bama Team's Attacks
Washington Post ^ | March 13, 2009 | Howard Kurtz

Millions of new listeners are now receiving the conservative message directly, without the MSM filter. Many will like what they hear. Many will become right-wing activists. 2010 = 1994.

"...how are sales of the Limbaugh letter?"

Don't know, but I'm giving a subscription for a birthday gift.

I’ve noticed a lot of new members on Free Republic, as well.

Unfortunately the FR welcoming committee has much to be desired. I have seen many a post which basically said "STFU NOOB!" (paraphrased). The knee-jerk hostility toward potential trolls can convert a newcomer into a one-time visitor in a heartbeat.

Of course, I think this is my 3rd or 4th account. Early on, I got booted a few times for telling certain people what I really thought of them. Then I lurked for a few years. Now I just know to stay out of certain threads that get my blood boiling.

Hey Carville and Begala out there. This flush is for you!


...like this?

**Pragmatism has led us into the wilderness and principle is the only thing that can get us out.**

Here's my problem ... the GOP did not learn anything from ‘06 or ‘08. If those of us who “HELD OUR NOSE” for McLAME had withheld our votes, McLAME and the GOP would have gotten smacked down like MONDALE did in ‘84. Instead, outcome was close enough for the RINO’s to say ... “See, we're on the right Track”!
and That is the WRONG MESSAGE!!!

Any GOP running for office... will have an American Conservative Union score of At Least 90, before I'll even LOOK ... (McLAME was an 82). Otherwise I will withhold my vote and GOP be DAMNED.

I agree with you.

New FReepers should be welcomed and encouraged. A lot of the new people are testing the waters and should be helped along.

It is easy to spot a Troll with a little research into their postings.

I have made some FReepers mad but usually they don’t respond when I nail them. When I am wrong, I admit it.

You, my FRiend are a wise FReeper.
Some conservatives hurt our cause.
