Zot me if you wish, but after all the vitriol towards me on FR, the last two GOP candidates left are McCain and Huckabee, the irony was too good to pass up.
JMO, but a lot of Freepers acted like the left with their stern demand that every person must adhere to a 110% litmus test.
With now McCain's sealing up the nomination and blaming everyone else and their dog, maybe you all should look at yourselves, despite the claims of 20 million listeners or being a top web site, the results are in and your brand of conservatism is not selling where it counts, the GOP primaries.

I’ve always liked you, respected you, and profited from your posts.
But you’re dead-wrong on this.
Conservatives and Grass roots Republican must take back Congress to save the republic.
Presidential elections are never about the message (consrvative vs. liberal) it is about the candidate. There were no good conservative candidates.
Rush struck out. He is not even running.
Limbaugh is just fine and will continue to be fine.
you been here since 1998.. I dont think you will be zotted. Your just wrong.
“the results are in and your brand of conservatism is not selling where it counts, the GOP primaries.”
Yeah, so what’s your point...do we just go away? What’s your solution?
Ditto.
“HUCKABEE, FOR ALL of his glibness, is striking much closer to the bedrock of philosophical conservatism than his critics. If conservatism is not about conserving principles that originate in reality — a reality that comes from God and is made known to man through his reason — then what good is it?” - George Nuemayr
Gov Romney it’s time to endorse Huckabee and throw him your delegates. Campaign with him if you are serious about stopping McCain.
This is a conservative website, not a Republican one, what would you expect us to say? It’s a moot point anyway, John McCain and his ilk will open the borders to the floodtide of entitlement voters, who will then vote ‘rat out of self-interest-no Republican of any stripe can out-pander a ‘rat.
Mccain has no class. huck has less than no class. and they will lose in the fall.
Yep. Contract with America II.
Is this akin to the BAF - Blame America First - mindset?
Blame Conservatives First.
your brand of conservatism
Take YOUR brand and shove it..
Problem is not with the “brand”. Problem is with the Salesmen, who absolutely suck, to put it lightly.....
As usual, being the token nutcase here at FreeRepublic, you are wrong in your assesments.
Calm Down.
I supported Hunter. He dropped out.
I supported Thompson. He dropped out.
I held my nose and supported Romney. He dropped out.
I'm going to support O'bama next - maybe I can keep the streak alive!
Zot material!
I really don’t understand the posters who claim FR failed or caused some candidate to fail. It’s an influential board but we’re not kingmakers.
