If the vast majority of the FReepers want it so, then Free Republic will officially become the newest "Republican wing" of the Republican Party.

Republicanism
and Independence forever...
! JR's prior soliloquy, in case anyone missed:
Vanity: Free Republic Priority One: Defending the Constitution
Please don't anyone ask me what I'm doing up and awake right now.

What's the difference between a conservative Democrat and a liberal Republican?Can you make that a multiple choice question?

What has changed with GWBush's administration from any other presidential administration here in post WW1, modern America?
Can you say, N-O-T-H-I-N-G?

What's the difference between a conservative Democrat and a liberal Republican? Just to interject, from Illionis, where we made the mistake of electing George Ryan (R) over Glenn Poshard (D) a little over four years ago... there are some Democrats that are better than some who pass for Republicans.
You may now return to your insomniaconversation. ;-`

The Liberals are relying on the "Disgruntled Republican Mentality Syndrome" that affects you so that they can put in place the last big missing link of their FDR/Socialistic/Democrat socially-addictive program: Universal Health Care and all the tax increases that will be necessary to support it.

I can't " dictate " anything. Jim Robinson, the owner of this site has stated over and over again that the ONLY way to defeat the Dems, is to vote for Republicans. I too think this is the way to go. Staying home is NOT an alternative; neither is voting for a fringe party. Staying home, or voting for someone who can't win, never has and never shall " punish " , nor " teach a lesson to " the candidate or party one is trying to do that to. All it does, if there are enough doing either/both of thsoe things, is
HELPING TO ELECT THE PERSON ONE LEAST WANTS IN OFFICE . It's as simple as that. If one doesn't understand that, then they don't really belong on a polictical forum, nor imagining that they have any political interest at all.
There is NO political candidate in the history of this nation, who would have / could have fulfilled the wants, desires, and wishes, 100 % ( even 70% ) of the time, of all, or even some of those who voted them into office. It has taken most of the 20th century to get this country to where it is now. The things most of us disagree with, can NOT be changed overnight, nor even in two terms of any GOP president. Those who crave that, are childish and/or really want a dictator; no matter what they might say.

So is GWBush. Do you think I "feel better" with a republican stealing my tax dollars implementing social welfare more than a democrat?
As I told Jim Robinson earlier up the thread, "give me a brake!"

A " brake " ? Your car's having brake problems ?
Seriously, you won't EVER get what it is you imagine you want. Ergo, you have to either just forget about politics, or, have to face reality.
To: Consort; Jim Robinson
Break, even. Jesus Christ, you folks have lost vision in my absence over the past few years. If allowed, I am going to fill holes into the mindless political mantra of the singular republocrat party here in America.
I pray I don't get kicked again.
To: Buckeroo
Well, for one, we're not subject to the UN (which I'm sure we would've been under Gore). Number two, we won't be appointing liberal activists, abortionists, feminazis, homosexualists, etc, to the federal courts (which we would've done under Gore). Number three, we use our military might to defend the nation against foreign attack (which we would not be doing under Gore). Number four, we did not ratify Kyoto (which we would've done under Gore). Number five, we got a huge tax cut (which we would not have gotten under Gore). Number six, we got a partial birth abortion ban (which we would not have gotten under Gore). Number seven, you still have your guns (Gore would be agressively advancing the effort to nullify the second amendment). Number eight, we can hold our heads high knowing that the corruption and sleaze of Clinton/Gore have been removed from the White House. Number nine, we are enjoying a Republican majority which will eventually lead to more conservates in the courts, an overturn of Roe vs Wade, less regulation, smaller government, less taxes, stronger national defense, a booming economy, etc, etc. Number 10, as the conservative majority begins replacing the liberal activist judiciary, we will be setting the liberals back 40 years or more.

"some" does not mean Jackson
Political parties are people's mechanisms for nominating candidates, they are not the candidates, nor are they handed us from Heaven nor Hell.

our Bill of Rights are being gutted by Ashcroft A quote from the "Democratic Underground"?
Trite isn't it? Traced it back and the left really got going on that allegation starting in 1918. John Reed, Emma Goldman and other communist/anarchists did a reversal and put our Attorney General at the time, Palmer, on trial. Worked very well for them. Willi Munzenberg even conned Felix Frankfurter wife into having the justice write an article for Atlantic Magazine on how civil rights were being violated and our constitution trashed. The Kremlin was so delighted, it printed millions of copies and distributed them around the world.

We have lost nothing. Your " vision " is through a glass darkly. Your glass is forever empty , even when ther is more than 1/2 measure of liquid in it. You make a pessimist look like a gallopping Pollyanna, cockeyed optimist.
To: DPB101
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, facts, instead of unadulterated emotion. Keep 'em coming !
To: Buckeroo
Do you think I "feel better" with a republican stealing my tax dollars implementing social welfare more than a democrat?If you don't "feel good" with either party, then you are in for a lifetime of hurt, and pain, and misery..... Enjoy it.
