“what will happen to FR w/o a candidate to elevate?”
I was wondering about that myself. Apparently, the tantrums began yesterday, from what I saw-really nasty and even irrational confrontations between Freepers-it made me sad to see that, so I stayed away from it. I like it here at WFTD because people are sane and polite. I came to FR in the first place because the discussions were civil, even between those who disagreed on the fine points...
my only hope is that the lunatic fringe is more minimal than it appears on FR.
I’m hoping many of those standing on the sidelines claiming to be more conservative than the rest of us will finally realize the next President probably means replacing a SC seat - several of the left wing bats on the S.C. are close to 80 and if bammy pulls another Kagan and puts in a 51 year old then we will be stuck with that choice for 30-35 years. Maybe they will grow the hell up and realize their vote counts for more than just a personal badge of honor.
