Nowhere, in FR's stated puposes, and reson d'etre, does it say that this site is a primary idolitry tool for Ron Paul; a man who runs under GOP colors ( and takes their money ! ) , because he can't get elected as the Libertarian he is. He's about as valuable to this nation and the GOP, as Jeffrords.

You'd best reread the rules. It doesn't say that no one may not ever say a bad word against Paul.

Ron Paul; a man who runs under GOP colors ( and takes their money ! )

The GOP refuses to contribute to Ron's campaigns, his money comes from individuals all over the country who like his ideas.

'Cuse me, nopardons, but wherever do you get it that I was referring to 'rules".....if you had simply read my #9 rather than hitting the 'post' button, you'd have read where I indicated his/her need to read FR's 'purpose for being".

For the record, this is the first paragraph on the FR opening page:

"Welcome! Free Republic is an 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!"

And pulling out a dictionary, you will find the word 'largesse' refers to 'liberal giving', or generous giving......that is something, my dear, that knows no party lines!

And as the opening page doesn't refer to Free Republic as a "Republican" web site, I do believe it is not your place, nor certainly not mine, to attempt to make it such. But then, you could contact Jim Robinson and tell him what you want.
