Jim Robinson wrote the foreward for a book called Hillary's Secret War. The book details the early days of conservative web sites and FR is mentioned frequently.
Robinson was able to determine that a lot of so-called Republican posters coming here were actually posting from the Clinton White House and the Washington Post.
Now, you know they weren't really Republicans. They were either paid to come here or did it for kicks to stir dissent.
And I think we're seeing the same thing happening again. Because there's no way that semi-intelligent freepers would spend their days 24/7 trashing Republican candidates.
It's one thing to nicely comment why one isn't in favor of a particular candidate, but these freepers are the ugliest, nastiest freepers on the board. So I truly doubt that most of them are Republicans and if they are, they're a branch I want absolutely NOTHING to do with and they actually HURT our efforts because they are the ugly side of conservatism that turns away moderate thinking voters.
