If you think we're suffering under "liberal leadership" now, I wonder what you thought of this country in 1992, with Clinton in power with Democrats in control of Congress, in large part because of Republicans who voted for Perot. Is there room for improvement in our Republican leadership? Absolutely. Is the solution to allow Democrats to get elected? Absolutely not.
When the President campaigns for a Kennedy bill, you should oppose him. But this is the SAME President who brought us lower taxes, great federal judges, a strong defense, and the eradication of terrorist-states abroad--all of which Kennedy vehemently opposed. It is precisely this rationale of many FReepers that I don't understand: "I don't like the President's support of a Ted Kennedy bill, so I'm going to do EXACTLY what Ted Kennedy wants me to do--allow more Democrats to be elected, to teach the President a lesson."
The only conclusion that I can reach is that FR has become infested with devious trolls posing as disenchanted Republicans.
I have a quote for you, Deo et Patria. And, I'd like for you to name the source (it's recent):
"It would be nice to think that the GOP might get to enjoy a Geena Davis-style “hiatus” while they “retune” their winning formula."
Who do you think wrote this? His articles have been routinely cheered, here on Free Republic.
Could it be that Republicans have been infested with Trolls, and NeoCons that have no idea what conservatism is about?
