RR, well, sorry to tell you, but you are going to get some FR people (RINOs, etc) on here who will ignore your polite and reasonable request that they do not bash your candidate, and try to keep this thread pure and enjoyable for supporters of TM and of your effort. You might give a heads up to the Administration Moderator to ask he/she to delete disruptor's posts that for no reason meander into the discussion and start trouble or otherwise go against your very fair and clear wishes stated up front and the very reason for this thread to be for the purpose of the McClintock people. Good luck to you.

as a quid pro quo, perhaps we can start the protocol that other's FR threads put up in support of Simon or Arnold or whomever, would also enjoy the same respect and would not be disrupted. hopefully we can all come to a meeting of the minds on this before election. in other words, general debate and argument about the campaign is fine, but some threads ought to be for the exclusive enjoyment and organization of their supporters, and thus, off limits, protocol wise, to opponents who just want to cause trouble and disrupt the thread. if we can work this out mutually, it would say a lot about the class of FRee Republic and its members, IMHO.

Thanks - so far it has worked out pretty well. I think most people on this post just ingore any attempts to get a rant going. It's a pretty quiet post. I think alot of people want to learn more about the candidates and see how the situation develops before they make a decision how to cast their votes so its just a news/published views thread.
