Obviously, you haven't read any of the FR mission statements or statements by its esteemed founder. Let me quote one of them for you:
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Now, nowhere in any statement by FR's founder is it mentioned that FR is an exclusively Republican Party forum. In fact, per the aforementioned quote, FR is a conservative forum, which means, yes, attacks on non-conservative Republicans, especially RINOs like McCain who enjoy pandering to the Democrats and poking conservatives in the eye on a regular basis, are probably okay, as I understand things.
“ Gasoline was $2.09 in the Twin Cities today. The MSM can relentlessly spam the “worst economy since the Depression” propaganda, but most folks pay their mortgages, have jobs and can’t internalize macroeconomic stuff like the Fannie Mae meltdown or a 3/10 of one percent decline in the quarterly GNP.The do know that they are saving $50 a week on gas compared to July. Banks still have money and neighbors are not being perp walked out of their homes by evicting Sheriffs. The Home Depot and Target parking lots are still full.That hits home. At some point, Joe Citizen is going to enter the privacy of their polling place and concluding ... “we’re not in crisis mode necessitating a rash change”. I think that will benefit McCain.I really think the gas prices will win the day.Take away the “Economy in Crisis” panic and Hussein Obama has no emotional hook to reel in suburbanites. ”
