I'm a Democratic-leaning independent voter that has lurked on the site for some time. Although I don't agree with the viewpoints of many here, I've learned quite a bit from the research necessary to fairly appreciate both sides of the issue. Pretty much the same reason I listen to Hannity and Rush.

I also belong to DailyKos but likewise rarely find myself in lockstep agreement with the left, either, on any issue. I'd be the first one to admit that both sides often have valid points. I just wish politicians would do a better job of acknowledging that, instead of unmercifully demonizing the other side in playing to their constituencies.

Hopefully, questions I ask along the way may enlighten other non-conservatives who occasionally browse FreeRepublic.

"So, like Rosie O’Donnell, Liberals lecture and hector—but run away from a discussion."

Sensory overload, Ahhhh!

No Elisabeth Hasselbeck photos to deface either.

HELLO FREEPERS!

He's not replying!

He's not here.

He's not going to answer your questions...

...HELLO!

[Blue State Insurgent]

Please tell me that you don’t hang out at the ‘DUmp’ with the evil DUers.

[RedRover]

Well, as long as we’re all here, what would YOU like to talk about?

"I'd be the first one to admit that both sides often have valid points."

Could you cite just one from the left? Seriously, just one. Thanks

RBOB gasoline $2.30 down ten cents. So much for vague economic complaints. What else you got?

[tioga]

-this is HUGH!!

[Darksheare]

So, anything to add?

[Guenevere]

LOL, y'all I have a LIFE :))

I'm gonna make supper!

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL!

[RedRover]

You have a life? Nobody likes a show-off.

[Darksheare]

He shall savor fruits of Gonorrhea.
/ end reference to old troll thread.

[Jet Jaguar]

Your memory is still the sharpest.

[JRios1968]

Cigar or pipe?

The Kitties await...

fwiw , I don’t know that you’re gonna be able to hit your stride with that opening,, , imo, Progressives, middle of the roaders and pooftahs need not apply... and do so at their own peril.

I doubt many will seek enlightenment from you as you so offer, but I’m sure some others will be watching for any of those that do take ya up on it. Enjoy the roast.

So, do we pull out of Iraq as your Democrat friends demand or do we stay till the war is won?

[Darksheare]

Not very.
Remember the troll that said he’d release 1000 wolves in someone’s yard because they didn’t care about the environment?
Well, somebody said the same thing again, but I can't recall the previous handle.

[Not A Snowbird]

That’s all good, but answer me this. Do you, or do you not, think Rudy should be thrown under the bus?

[Right Cal Gal]

Or someone who was playing “bait the Freepers” to see if we’d be insulting, so they could cut and paste over at KOS. KOS usually tries to bait the Lizards over at Little Green Footballs, but Charles Johnson doesn’t open registration that often, so maybe they’ve given up.

Almost 2 hours after your vanity post and not one response to questions posed..........Guess I’m finally in BTZ too........
