"Well personally, if I were a noob and saw so many Rudy threads on here, I'd just assume this isn't the place for me. Same goes for all of the conservative sites that are suffering from Rudy-Spam."

Agree. In recent years, the site seems to have been increasingly hijacked by special interests. The Rudy-span and nuke Iran are obvious ones. In the past many who did not toe the line were liquidated. Sterility has set in.

I hope JR gives a 'pardon' to those removed from the conservative battlefield for opposing ideas.
