"Strange statement from a long-standing FReeper."
Unlike the majority of posters here I'm a conservative, not a Republican (RINO). Since the election of GH Bush the republican party has been one disappoinment after another. The party has supported one RINO after another. The RP is no longer the party of conservatives but one of the old southern democrats.
I don't understand how anyone can support a party that has encouraged massive debt, expansion of social programs, continued support of groups like the National Endowment of the Arts and has continually ignored the problem of illegals working and living in the USA.

I'm not pleased with the current state of the party either, but it sure is better than the only other alternative we have at the moment. Frist needs to reel the RINOs in and do it quick. We are squandering a great opportunity to make a real difference in this country. I get extremely annoyed when our own base screws us too.
