Free Republic was a united front in 2000 and 2004 and had great influence in the elections, and because of the ‘United We Stand’ attitude, some even boarded a bus in 2000 to go to Florida, and helped stop the ‘hanging chad counting in a closed room that would have got Al Gore elected”. Bush owes FR that win.
Yes, in the past I have donated to FR quietly, through the mail, and I only come here during election years, and the last time I saw a divisiveness that disturbed me in the threads, and the GOP lost; now I wonder if some FR people aren’t going to actually hurt the elections this year by not using the only avenue to regaining the Senate...VOTES.
You hurt the cause even more by calling me the poser, when you are the divider. Even the Israelites did not enter the promise land due to their ‘murmoring and their complaining’...that was a lesson all should have learned from. And in Phillipians 2:14 it is a required act.
I have been here since before the 2000 election and you may give a lot more money, but you are still hurting the chances of a victory for conservatives in 2014. In fact you are causing your money to have no effect for victory.
I doubt this kind of divisiveness and GOP attacks will help anyone. Remember this “if you don’t help get unity here to help change the voting block in the Senate, then FR could be shutdown by the very left you claim to oppose in the future”. Who do we blame? I will blame the whiners and divisive ones who did not work with the only option available to Conservatives.
Giving lots of money is good, but not if it isn’t backed up with a full force of united voters. So good luck with that.
The more time passes... the farther away your republican party moves from Conservatism. We have gone along with your party and given it total control in the past... and we also know that your party did nothing but help elect obama and the communists that run America today. We had a republican president that would not... absolutely refused to defend himself and his agenda and those of us that were backing him. He allowed the left to define himself and the party... and he allowed rove to destroy our chances in 2006 and in came harry and nancy... followed by barry soetero.
The republican majority could have cut spending, shrunk government and done away with many Federal agencies. They could have started a plan of paying down the debt and growing the economy. They could have strengthened the Constitution and States Rights but instead... we got a HUGE medicare expansion... two wars and kennedy's "No Child Left Behind". We got open borders and "See you at the signing" Amnesty threats. Your policy has been tried before and failed. You do know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
