I found this site sometime in the summer of 2000 just before the election. I was pretty impressed and gave the site to several other people. During the Florida recount I got more news here than anywhere else. I have donated two times to keep the site goint.

Having said all that let me say that I am more than a little frustrated in the last 6 months to a year here. I am a Bush supporter and make no mistake. While open to conservatives who may have some frustration with him, I am turned off by the constant bashing of Bush by many here. What I am not sure of is how much of that represents real Freepers and how much represents the disrupters. It makes a difference to me, because I do not feel much of anything in common with folks who intend to take a hike the next election because Bush is not conservative enough for them and who feel the need to bash him as much as what goes on here. So I am frustrated and will probably continue to monitor but don't really feel like contributing to keep going at this point.

I might also add that most of the people that I turned onto this site have turned off to it because they see things as a bit radical for them.

I'm looking for a group that while their might be some disagreement on how to proceed still keeps in mind that winning is also important. That because I may not be as far right as them does not make me some left wing loony or a RINO. A term that while worthwhile is certainly misused by some folks here.

Is this the place for me? Right now I am not sure. This topic will probably keep me around a bit longer, but my feeling is that it is not the forum it was when I managed to stumble on it in mid 2000.

There are more of the types of folks you seek than you think. The moderator said it best: "And the other option is to let them win by letting them drive you away- with you being people from every single conservative faction we have. Rest assured though, if that one happens, if you make another home and it starts being successful, they will come there and do it to you there."

Hope you stick around.
