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.

The Kos Kid hasn’t had an answer for the links above, nor the fact that John Edwards ‘suggested’ to do the mentioned events.
I was never a Democrat. My father raised me correctly. My dad was an anti-FDR - Robert McCormick Republican. Back in the days when the Chicago Tribune was a great newspaper.
I lean Democrat but I vote Republican, just don’t tell anyone :)
Welcome to Free Republic.
I could not find it.
I was looking for the link to Edwards’ suggestions - mostly so I can email him what a dirtclod he is - but have specifics to refer to.
Drats.

Freepmail on the way.
Mware might have the link on that.
I neglected to save it.

Well not actually all, but those who are in a hurry to zot a new member just because he is honest to admit that he is a democratic independent voter and also belongs to Daily Kos. Most socalled left leaning independent voters won’t admit that they are really democrats. I suggest we give the man a chance
For someone who wanted to talk, our New Member is pretty darn quiet.
Welcome, just never say anything good about Rudy and you`ll be safe
How do you know this stuff? never mind, I'd rather not know ;-D
BTW it's easy, just get on a plane!
Your profile.
WELCOME ABOARD!
The new ? is apparently already finished doing whatever it was the new ? did.
Hey, my late mum was a CT Yankee - but of the William F. Buckley variety, not the Ned LaMont variety!
I post over at LGF a lot - it used to be unregulated but Chaz had to start registering users cuz the KOSsaks would post vile crap and then cut and paste it over at KOS to show what vile hate-filled racists the “Lizards” were. I tried to explain the “Blog Wars” to someone once and said for the DUmmies, the enemy is Freep; for the KOSsaks, it’s LGF. Although I hear they’re branching out to the other sites as well; like I said, Chaz doesn’t open registration often (like 3:00 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon for half an hour, when the ‘bats are banging on the bong, if you get my drift) so they don’t get a chance to get “on” the site. Of course, he’s had to do some serious blocking and comment deletion lately - which was a RARE occurrence before now.
Yeah, I’m inching closer to getting on that plane, believe me. Texas is lookin’ REAL GOOD! Can’t wait to be able to keep my shotgun in the back of the truck again!
