Welcome.

Even on television when they are going to show this graphic they warn the viewers. If you're okay with spam and this kind of graphic now, that's good to know, although I just love how the rules change depending on which candidate is in favor.

I doubt that the objection to partial-birth abortion is contingent upon the favourability of the candidate.

Murdering babies is a moral issue.

It's a powerful little Mod tool called "WIPE"

Uh-oh. :)

I'm praying that Sessions is not ok with abortion.

I've just never seen numbers skipped like that.

I've only started seeing it in the last couple of weeks. Looks like the capability to completely 'nuke' posts without leaving the "removed by moderator" comment has been recently added.

Rudy's not a social conservative, But a true conservative is un-electable. Face it- government is not going to get smaller, some people will have abortions, guns will be regulated like everything else, and most all you can really do is make those personal choices for yourself.

Then why not jsut vote rat and get it over with . Not thanks. I will keep pushing for a conservative and will never vote for a rino.

He endorsed Giuliani. So maybe you should ask him the same question you asked me.

Is spam contingent upon the favorability of the candidate? Apparently so.

But regardless, now that Jim has decided that certain pictures and spam are okay, I'll be sure to engage in it myself with favorable Rudy articles.

It's a powerful little Mod tool called "WIPE" we use only sparingly ;)

Musta been a doozy.

[Corin Stormhands]

It was just a bit of fun.

I'm sure your choice of pictures and spam will be as revealing of your character to us all as your above post.

Do you really think the dims will hold Congress in '08?

They will have at least 55 Senators after the 2008 elections.

The House is less clear. I expect NH-01 to be retaken, but I don't know how things are in the rest of the country.

That image has never been accepted at FR and anyone who has posted it has been told to stop.

Not true at all. Here it is posted November of last year:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1735117/posts#18

It apparently only became objectionable when Rudy's pro-PBA positions became an issue on FR.

[dirtboy]

Kinda like "Nuke 'em from orbit - it's the only way to be sure."

[Lead Moderator]

lol, exactly.

[Peach]

OMG. You found where it was posted once and the mods didn't remove it. Well I've seen it removed, until now, every single time it's been posted.

But that purist conservatives don't mind if a child walks by and sees this image doesn't surprise me at all. There's a reason Reagan talked about the extreme right.

[Peach]

Which above post is it you take issue with, Miss Sensitivity?

[Spiff]

It apparently only became objectionable when Rudy's pro-PBA positions became an issue on FR.

Bill Clinton and other liberals were regularly beat up on FR over partial birth abortion and a number of other liberal things in the past. When we turn our ire on a so-called Republican who believes and supports things almost identical to Bill Clinton, then WE get trashed. The Rudybots want to complain now about a double standard where there is none except for the double standard that THEY themselves are demonstrating.
