You mean like this guy?
Well, there is the Republican party with some conservative members and some not so conservative and then there's the evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat Party. I'd rather have a conservative Republican in office, but I'll take a not so conservative Republican over any evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat any day of the week. And I might express my unhappiness with some of his policies but I think I've learned my lesson about irreversibly trashing the Republican office holder or the Republican base or the party itself (at least not too much trashing). As they say, the alternative is unthinkable.
Checkmate.

John McCain, you treasonous bastard, I challenge you or any of your traitorous cohorts to find even one thread, one post, one paragraph, one sentence or even one lousy word posted to this web site that is not fully protected by the First Amendment!Please note that it was a Republican-controlled Congress that were John McCain's "cohorts" in passing CFR, a Republican President that acted as a "cohort" in that he signed CFR into law, and a Republican nominee dominated Supreme Court that acted as "cohorts" when they upheld CFR. Carry on...And I will extend that to one chapter, one group, one poster or any group of posters on this forum. Name one assembly, petition, letter, protest, meeting or rally convened, filed, submitted, attended or supported by members of this forum that is not 100% protected and guaranteed as free speech or free assembly by the First Amendment!
Your McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation is a treasonous act. You and your cohorts are attempting to subvert the Constitution of the United States of America, the very same constitution that you swore an oath to defend, so help you God! That makes you a domestic enemy of that great document and a traitor to your country. Yes, and Benedict Arnold was a war hero before he turned traitor too.
How dare you even think that you are qualified to sit in the oval office! Ronald Reagan's office! President? Hah! You miserable excuse for a two-bit political hack, you're not even qualified to shine Ronald Reagan's boots. If you do run, I'm afraid you're gonna be at least one vote short. It'll be a cold day in hell before a traitor like you ever receives my vote. And that's a campaign promise you can take to the bank.1 posted on 03/22/2006 8:58:46 PM PST by Jim Robinson
Finally, there's the mission statement of this entire forum. One that DOES NOT include the words "Republican", "Republican Party" or any demand for support of any specific party - just "independent, grassroots" support for conservatism in America.
Free Republic is the premier 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.
It is unfortunate, but the President and the Republican-controlled Congress have done the opposite of relling back decades of governmental largesse. It is embarassing, but this Republican administration and the Republican-controlled Congress have had a little too much political fraud and corruption associated with them - and not, it isn't all just stuff the Democrats and MSM make up. Some of it, sadly, is credible. And it is very much a matter of debate whether the President and the Republican-controlled Congress have done much to further conservatism in America.
