I've been here just shy of 4 years and I can't say the 'site' as a whole was anti George Bush [good grief, I remember Don Morgan and a few other like-minded Republican Party worshippers]--as I recall, that deep division is what caused Don, and I believe others, to leave.

There were and still are many who are against him. Probably the strongest voice...or at least the one that sticks out in everybody's mind or nearly everybody, was Jim Robinson. He utterly detested him, and had no difficulty in expounding all the reasons why.

I remember sitting in stunned silence when someone told me Jim had endorsed GW! I went to the thread and had to ask him myself because this was not the Jim Rob I remembered from all those nights/early mornings/days on Fire Talk actually talking and listening to voices!

The Jim I 'see' today is not the person I knew in my earlier days here at FR, nor from Fire Talk...it is as though someone else has taken on his moniker...*sigh*

Well, I'll tell you what would get a same person over his dislike of Geo Bush, and that is the thought of a Gore Presidency. Sorry, but the continuation of the Republic was more important to me than my dislike for Bush. Still is.

Yes, I agree. I have read all the old FR stuff I can find. JR said he would NEVER vote for Bush. But he did and he encouraged everyone else to.

I didn't.
