Since we are continually being bashed on here along with the President we support, would you like us all to just pick up and leave Free Republic along with our donations? Then you can all have this forum to yourself to trash at will.
I am tired of the continual sniping and trashing of my President and those of us that support him. If this is what conservatives are all about, then I am not Conservative -- I am just a flat out a Republican who happens to consider Taking Back the Senate and Keeping the House as my #1 priority.
I guess that I thought FR was something it is turning out not to be -- you all bash this President without any regard to facts -- you take things out of context -- you bait his supporters -- you trash this President and his supporters and then you expect us to sit back and take it like we are the ones at fault for defending the President of the United States George W. Bush. He has more integrity in his little finger than what I am constantly seeing on here by supporters of the 1%ers or less in some instances.
And before anyone talks about not allowing dissent -- that is not what I am talking about -- it is the lies and distortions without facts that I am talking about. I didn't support the Education Bill and I came out with my reasons. I can take an honest discussion but what I am reading here is anything but! Wonder how many conservatives on here are part of the 17% conservatives that did vote for Gore. Anyone including limbaugh that cannot see the difference between Gore and Pres Bush has not only lost my respect but my belief in what they have to say! To infer and outright say that is beyond my comprehension and even worse were the posts that said Pres Bush was worse than Clinton!
End of my rant!
Talk about distorting facts..
I'd like to get the head-honcho's opinion on this. I'm sure he has something to say about it.
Is everything just fine when everyone agrees with you but when there is disagreement you want to leave?

You are now understanding what the Clinton supporters felt.
You are supporting a president who's actions do NOT conform to Conservative thought. Maybe if you and others would start by admitting that Bush is much closer to a Moderate than a Conservative mush of the heat would dissipate. Half the argument is whether or not Bush is a Conservative.
I am just a flat out a Republican who happens to consider Taking Back the Senate and Keeping the House as my #1 priority.
Even that statement goes agains the grain of the forum. This isn't a Pro-Republican come-hell-or-high-water forum, but one to advance Conservative ideas. Constitution first, not party first.
What do you have if you gain the world and lose your soul, I think is what some famous teacher once said.
That is a cop out!!
We want a conservative, and when we are assured by the likes of all the Bush supporters on this forum that he was, and those like myself said the emperor has no clothes, and low and behold, he proves me right, references to ALgore are meaningless!!
Voting for the lesser of two evils means you are still voting for evil!
My disappointment was increased when almost 2 years before the election, the media annointed him as the lead candidate. Then, during the campaign, the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity told us to stop thinking of the crimes of the Clinton Administration, (EVEN THOUGH THOSE CRIMES AND THEIR EXPOSURE IS WHY WE LISTENED TO LIMBAUGH AND HANNITY) and they both assured us Bush would not forget, and he would seek to prosecute....I am still waiting.
And with the blame game about 9/11, can you tell me a better time to expose the lapses of the Clinton administration? The previous bombings? Killing for Monica and how that probably made Osama madder than he already was?
Holding hands in a church with the religious leaders who tell their own followers America deserves it?? These same Muslims that Bush held hands with almost attacked us in DC back in April! Remember the reports of that Freep?
What steps have been taken to secure our borders? Our ports? Where is the manpower necessary to do this with any reality in approach?
