You and Mercuria, for example, would be two Buchanan brigagers who I strenously disagree with on FR during the 2000 election, but you made some great points and always had some insightful commentary.
The problem was liberal Democrats who PRETEND to be(and certainly are NOT) 3rd party people for the sole purpose of destorying icons of the conservative movement. There are a number of individuals on FR (who shall go unnamed) who are caught gloating when a liberal Democrat defeats a conservative Republican. The best way to identify these disruptors is that while they claim to be 3rd party, they never say WHAT party they are a member or WHICH candidate they are supporting.
A good example is the VA Governors's race last year. A number of disruptors were rooting for liberal Dem Mark Warner to win (and he did), by spreading blantantly false, vicious lies about the GOP candidate here. They claimed to be 3rd party people, but hardly ever did you see them tote the alledged "3rd party" candidate that they perfered over Warner. They didn't have any. All they did is exclusively tear down the Republican-- NOT tear down BOTH main parties like most "third" people do here. Their posts purely helped Warner get momentum by fracturing ALL opposition to him. When Warner did win, they could barely contain their glee.
A geninue 3rd party person will be more than happy to tell you who they are supporting and why (whether it be Carla Howell or Pat Buchanan or whatever). A liberal disruptor will not, because they need conservatives to buy into the vicious propanganda they are selling.
Well said.. Ditto!
