I do realize that management at FR does not support Ron Paul. That’s their right after all. Their political view shouldn’t have any influence on mine. As a matter of fact, their mission statement so to speak is -
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We’re working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!
Admittedly, I am not an independent but I am a conservative. I also don’t consider myself a fool - that of course, is in the eyes of the beholder though. :)
My point is that none of the other Republican candidates are vilified to the point Ron Paul is, and those who support him. It’s not a matter of arguing points or his position, just a lot of name calling. I find that very odd for this board.
Good night. Have you read the Romney threads this morning? Are you aware that a number of long time Freepers were banned from here after a civil war over Giuliani?
Your candidate is an idiot. He’s an imbecile. He says stupid things. My grandfather was a better speechmaker after he lost his marbles than your candidate. He can’t put two straight sentences together and look like he’s going to drool on himself.
I gave the guy a hearing. I’m very, very conservative. But the more I watched the less I liked. This is not personal. We are a collection of screennames. Don’t take it that way.
Hillary Clinton and a bunch of unshaven 7th century heathens who should have been smoked on 09/12/2001 have got most of these people scared s--tless.
They are completely missing the bigger picture, and would rather elect any Republican because "he'll be better than the Democrat." I've been on this board since 1999 and seen it happen with FReepers defending Bush ("He's more CONSERVATIVE than his father, OK?") nonstop. I'm glad FR came to its senses on Giuliani though.
