>>>So by helping to elect a Republican I've undermined the GOP..? WTF!?

If could you could think before engaging your fingers, you'd understand WTF is going on here. FreeRepublic is a conservative website that is catagorically opposed to the liberal agenda. FR generally supports PresBush in his efforts in the WoT and for the most part supports conservative Republicans who are running in opposition to liberal Democrats. You should read the opening of JimRob's website. He makes his agenda crystal clear. It's an agenda that I agree with and one that you obviously don't agree with.

Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.

Governmental largesse means liberalism. FReepers champion the causes which further conservatism, not liberalism, the Democartic Party platform or the agenda of RINO governors.

No, it doesn't. Government largesse has to do with liberal taxation and spending. It has nothing to do with social issues of morality.

And the best way to further conservativism is to prevent Democrats from being elected, not help them by undermine Republicans. Electing Bustamante over Schwarzenegger would advance liberalism. That is what you advocate.

I advocate stopping the bleeding. Arnold may not be your ideal candidate, but his holding the office still prevents Davis or Bustamante from being in there conducting business as usual and doing even more damage.

Most importantly, Arnold turns new voters on to the Republican party. He helps to repair the damage to the party's image that people like you inflict on it in the minds of mainstream voters. That also advances conservative agendas.

So when you claim Arnold is "undermining the GOP", what you actually mean is Arnold is not advancing conservativism.

I disagree with even that, because you have to understand, before we turn around and change directions, we must first slow the leftward momentum. You cannot throw a car into reverse before hitting the brakes first.

Arnold being Governor will open the door to other Republicans getting elected again in the furture. The way things were going, and the way the conservatives have been acting, that seemed likely to never happen again in our lifetimes.

Since you are insisting that this is a small tent forum concerned only with the advancement conservativism, and not the success of the GOP, then perhaps you yourself should not use the two interchangably.
