Illinois is the perfect example of what happens when RINOs take over. George Ryan and company have ruined the state GOP for at least a generation.
To: KantianBurke
Perhaps the labeling of people as "bots" might have something to do with that split. Just a thought.
To: Miss Marple
Perhaps Republican is a misnomer for the Grand Old Party. I see so many of the GOP that seem to have no interest in perpetuating republican principles. Maybe the terms Rino's and bot's should be eliminated in favor of SR's and CR's. There should be truth in advertising maintained to distinguish between the socialist and conservative pubbies.

On the Republican side, investment banker Jack Ryan is the party's front-runner and has great potential in the general election. On the 'Rat side, there seem to be four top-tier candidates: state Controller Dan Hynes, invesment banker Blair Hull, ex-Chicago Superintendent of Schools Gerry Chico, and state Senator Barak Obama.

During the height of the Arnold v. McClintock threads and on thread discussing Bush policies, it was quite common for McClintock people (or people complaining about some of Bush's decisions) to get banned.I dunno. I was and still am pro-McClintock, pulled no punches, and was as vicious as anyone in my denunciation of Schwarzenfraud. I didn't get banned or even warned.
I did take several weeks off (voluntarily), however.

There are a lot of Repub's I would not vote for. We have a governor here in Ohio who says he's a Repub, but acts like DemRepub. He's raised taxes, is anti-concealed carry and so on. I would NEVER vote for Gov. Taft again for any office!

"Italics" and "Behind the lines in CA" are the only two names I saved. Jackalopebreeder was banned, as was TLBSHOW, although I will admit Tod was a pain in the behind. The names were too numerous to remember. Many were long time Freepers not new disruptors. The more libertarian you are the better the chance of getting banned. The fact that you have not been warned or banned doesn't mean anything.
If you want a better list on who was banned, just go visit Liberty Post. I think most went over there. There was a thread on "what ever happened to...." freepers but it has been pulled. Even freeper Sabertooth got banned briefly but was quickly brought back. Freeper Comwatch has been banned several times just for complaining that his breaking news stuff (and it was breaking news) was pulled from the breaking news side bar.

I did take several weeks off (voluntarily), however. I too took off several weeks. Carry_Okie and others survived as well. Not all the McClintock people were banned. JR even said he was for McClintock. But of the banning I saw during that time, all were McClintock people. I complained directly to management but got nowhere. It was common for Arnold people to say how vicious the McClintock people were, yet all the viciousness I saw came from their side. They would ping the posse and start in with personal attacks, calling anyone who was a McClintock supporter liberal or worse. They would hit abuse repeatedly and soon the McClintock supporter being attacked would be the one banned. It was well known among my friends and posted to the open forum that I was on strike because of the banning.

"Freepmail me if its need to be kept under wraps."Why? Even you, the master debater wouldn't ever go to the FR postoffice to read it, right?
From your FR homepage:"Also don't bother sending FRmail. I make it a point to not read them and simply delete whatever comes into my box.If you have something to say, do it out in the open rather than using it as a vehicle to avoid the mods."
When are you just plain honest as opposed to perfection in honesty? You don't need to respond to my concern if you aren't concerned about it, or can't even figure out what I'm typing about. If you're oblivious to the whole situation, then there's absolutely no reason to take up band width drawing you pictures.
To be perfectly honest I feel THAT is the case!!!

Fat chance. The Republicans in Illinois are more concerned with living it up than with furthering a conservative agenda. I'm afraid President Bush doesn't have a prayer of carrying the Land Of Lincoln next year.

My FRpage says what it does due to other posters having a proclivity of avoiding debate and flaming me by what was written inside it.
No offense but your screed was hardly intelligeble. Hence why I requested a clarification. No need to get snippy at me. Good day.

I am not worried about the GOP in Illinois when I have to worry about GWB giving anmesty to Illegal Aliens.
Anyone else out there?

Our President will be losing many votes, but for different reasons. His policy on illegal immigration will be a major problem for him!
