The tone on FR is very demoralized. Liberals and their media unfortunately have succeeded in demoralizing a large number of freepers. From their constant savage attacks on the President and the Republican Party with lies and distortions, to their biased polls, to blaming the President for everything under the sun, many freepers are feeling very demoralized. They are further demoralized because President Bush is not fighting back, because the RINOS in Congress are screwing thing up for the President agenda. Add to that a huge numbers of trolls who infiltrated FR in 2004 and 2005 to divide and demoralize by creating doom and gloom, and piling on the President and the GOP.
So what are the solutions for the demoralization problem?
(1) Stop the knee jerk reaction every time the liberal media write an article telling us that President Bush and the GOP are finished. Stop taking every biased poll as the end of all. No doubt that the President approval is down but no doubt that the polls are so biased to take 6 or 7 points more from his approval numbers. Never before we have had so many polls coming in an off election year and the reason for this is very simple. The media is doing all these biased polls to demoralize the Republican base and it is succeeding to some degree as we see from the knee jerk reaction of many freepers. The media is taking any event that is happening and distort it with the most negative spin to demoralize us. Rather than falling for the media lies, distortions and very negative spin we must take anything they write or say turn it around on them and destroy all their lies and spin.
(2) Ask the White House to fight back the lies and distortions of liberal and their media whores. How do we do this? Demand replacing Scott Maclelan? Besides new junkies like us how many people listen to Scott Maclelan? Ask the President to hold a press conference every week to expose the lies liberals and their media? Do you want the President to spend his time fighting every lie and distortion made by liberals and their media? How can we guarantee that the media will cover what the President is saying or what any of his spoke people are saying? Can they just ignore what is he saying?
(3) Put pressure on the RINOS to stop screwing the President agenda. How do we do this? Ask the White to twist their arms? What if the RINOS say to the White House Screw you? Ask the GOP leadership in Congress to twist their arms? What if the RINOS also tell them Screw you?
(4) Purge the trolls who infiltrated FR in large numbers in 2004 and 2005. These trolls are not necessarily someone who spread Dummy crap on FR. They put on a phony conservative mask and bash the President and the GOP on every occasion. Their main goal is to divide and demoralize. Their job is to spread doom and gloom. Purging these guys can stop a lot of the infighting and the demoralization that is going on. We need to report these trolls to the mods and do not let them get away with this.

That fact seems to be that the country is more than one half, either traitorous, or idiots, or some combination of both.
It is to those that the Senate and most all other elected officials cater to.
I'm afraid the prognosis does not bade our future well.
See you in the trenches."
If the truth hurts ... so be it.
Sure there are lots of trolls, but getting rid of that mindless rabble isn't going to help the Bush administration, or the Congress to grow a stiff spine.
We laugh at France and the Euroweenies. We will be laughing out of the other side of our mouths soon enough.
Excellent!
I live in WA state, so I'm not happy about the anti-smoking bill passing and the gas tax being passed, but other than that, what did the D's win on Tuesday beside Virginia?
The news out of CA is actually pretty good. The measures almost won, except in one case. Unions have been put on notice, and the conservatives can continue to hammer away at the Pensions in a way that is going to put a serious restraint on the ability of the public services unions to strike in any meaningful way for the next 5 years or so.
California is still blue, but it is way redder than the D's want to admit, which is why the word went around Sacramento that gloating would not be tolerated. Arnie may not have won any of his measures, but the enormous press they garnered, and the huge money the left spent on beating them did its job.
Now the public is watching the unions, and so are its members. Massive damage has been done there, and everyone there knows it. The word around Sacto is compromise. Remarkable being that its one man vs the Senate and the House down there.
I'm afraid my 'gloomy gus' has bloomed into an 'battling bambino' ...
The only thing that aggravates me is the spinelessness of the Republicans in the Congress and the WH in refuting these outrageous charges coming from a desperate lib gang of thugs.
The only thing I find demoralizing are politicians who claim to be conservatives but are in fact big-spending, foreign-welfare loving, open-border weenies who are able to convince people on a conservative board that they really are conservative.
There are FR pubs? Places where you can go for a beer and talk to other Freepers? I need to find out if there is one near me.
I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
The news that George Soros is behind the liberal RINOs was the last straw for me. When is Bush going to stand up and fight?

I'm not a new junkie, I've been a junkie for years.
Let the vetting begin and continue.. SECRET: the odds of a freeper voting for a democrat or not voting at all, is slight.. Lurkers are another story.. THEM lurkers are a fickle bunch.. Trolls are fun... by and large..
Nah.. nobody discouraged here.. Where else can a sacred cow be filleted and BBQ'ed with ice cold-slaw and a hold mah beer(and cigar).. NOWHERE, thats where..
Huh? I'm too busy, I suppose. I missed this. To what are you referring?
You are soooooo right. Too many of the Republicans in Washington have become a large part of the problem. How is the country better than it was before the 1994 house-cleaning? What has the GOP accomplished other than to keep the Dems out of power? Conservatives had to jump up and down and scream to keep Miers off the Supreme Court. She was a Republican appointment! What's going on? Something happens to people who get to Washington. Invasion of the body snatchers?
