As far as you're concerned, we have no role to play in these elections, other than to meekly pull the R lever. If we are so ineffective and not listened to, why do you bother with FRN? The GOP doesn't pay any attention to FR, according to you, we're just a bunch of "nuts." Thanks for making that clear.
I have a higher opinion of FReepers. I've seen us in action many times over the years and witnessed our successes. I've seen for myself and been told of our impact. To dismiss us as the irrelevant right-wing equivalant of Deaniacs is insulting.
If, as you say, we don't matter, then who cares if we vote third party? Or are we just trying to protect our invitations to Important Conservative Republican Meetings?
P.S. I have seen numerous posts on this thread so far alleging widespread dissatisfaction with the direction the Republican Party has been taking in recent years. Earth to Freepers: the market is signalling the Republicans that they are doing everything right.
The article which these comments are based on states that the Republican Caucus is responding to market forces telling them of widespread dissatisfaction with the direction the party is taking.
P.P.S. I read the Deaniac article. Liberals falling for a fantasy is nothing new. The Deaniacs were just the last ones to figure out Howard Dean was not presidential material.
sad to see While it may not be apparent to everyone, it is certainly apparent to me where that spear is coming from. For God's sake, Kristinn, let it go. Almost everyone involved buried the hatchet on that crap years ago. I don't even think about it anymore. I had an opportunity to speak at CPAC; I made sure that you folks were in it. When an opportunity came up to get somebody into a small-group setting with Bush, the first person I offered it to was a member of the DC Chapter. Now you come up and throw some rusty old spear from the War of 1812. Life is too short for this. |
