You're the only one among us who had an account there.

The chances of that are almost zero.

One thing Bill Clinton did was bring in the moo-lah for those far right groups. With a conservative in the White House, a lot of that dried up. Just ask Keyes.

[Jim Robinson]

If you will go back and read the contract you will discover that it had very little to do with actually advancing conservative causes and more to do with simply reforming the congress and certain government entities, ie, rearranging the deck chairs.

[PhiKapMom]

ROFLOL! Very true -- you are AWESOME!

[DreamsofPolycarp]

The more I see of your posts on a variety of subjects, the smarter I think you are.

All that shows is how easy it is to fool people on the internet!

There are a couple of internet "personalities" here in NC that I would like to meet. You are one of them. Betsy (aka BETSY'S PAGE) is another. I REALLY REALLY think she rocks!

Btw, my wife likes your posts, too [smile].

I understand a Keyes' operative was seen at a Hunter event a couple of weeks ago; troubling, IMO.

[Romulus]

I think you missed my point.

[skeeter]

So stop thinking like fanatics, and start thinking like chessplayers, or be ready to nurse a string of principaled defeats.

I guess principled emotionalism only works for our opponents, eh? After all, they'll be the ones handing us the defeats.

[BigSkyFreeper]

The chances of that are almost zero.

So you didn't go over there to counter all the libel? Which is it?

[Peach]

Gee, I've read it and seem to recall some discussion about welfare reform and other issues. hmmm

Yet not one word in that Contract for America about abortion and gay rights. Oh, well.

[nopardons]

Yes, it IS being encourage; sadly.

[EternalVigilance]

Actually, you registered there when they got the facts about you; we all saw it, so there's no reason to try to mischaracterize it.

I realize that in your bizarre world, scurrilous lies are "facts." But outside the walls of your little asylum, they're not.

[Peach]

Eeew. That would be troubling.

Mark for later read; time to go.

[Cold Heat]

and how we can reach back out to some disenfranchised voters.

I wish I could share that optimism.

We, as a party, have been badly tainted by some of our own, and lots of stupid political errors.

Add to this, the rebellion within that is being fueled by the MSM on a daily basis and for the last three years.

I don't think it can be turned around by anyone. The "R" has been sullied.

It will take a few years of democrat mismanagement to remind everyone what they were like. I don't need reminding, but apparently many do. I'm thinking 2014 for a mid term comeback.

I will vote for Rudy if he makes it through the maze. I like Mitt, as more of a traditional type of republican candidate however.

I think they will be the last two standing.

[Guenevere]

nope.....nada....not at all....uh uh....

[Rex Anderson]

I understand a Keyes' operative was seen at a Hunter event a couple of weeks ago; troubling, IMO.

Poor Hunter.

[BykrBayb]

I thought we weren't supposed to discuss FReeper membership at other sites. Does this mean that the anti-FReeper group Howlin started is now open for discussion again?

[Reagan Man]

Falsehoods ain't part of my lexicon, but being a buttinsky is your forte, I see.

[Registered]

I asked him not to post to me, and there he does it again. Did he say people opposing him had thick skulls earlier?

I believe he did.

[Al Simmons]

"After what JR has posted about RG, he could never vote for him, even against Hillary, because to him Hillary is more conservative (she used to be a Republican)."

*OMG* *ROTFLMAO* (IN SHOCK).

These are really interesting times for FR.

Well, debate is a healthy part of growth - but even the moderate posts are starting to BITE... ;>)
