DO, look at who most of the anti-Freepers supported. (Hint...NOT Bush.)

Bush people generally tend to follow rules. We are just boring old main-stream Republicans, not conservative enough for you, of course.

By the way, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

This was contained in my response to BillyBoy.

Thanks for the nice response. I am aware that there are disrupters on the forum. I wouldn't say that they're limited to third party types though.

I would say that people who profess to be Republicans who do not support traditional conservative ideals could also be suspect. That's not to say that all supporters of Bush are guilty of this, or that all supporters of Buchanan or other third party individuals are all pure as the driven snow either.

People need to keep their eyes and minds open for people who aren't what they represent themselves to be.

Dear Miss Marple;

It wasn't my intent to hijack this thread in the RangeWars2000 direction.  I simply meant to address an issue raised by BillyBoy.  In that response I made it very clear that third party players were just as capable as anyone else of being disrupters.  I further stated that I didn't not assess each Bush supporter to be a disrupter.  How could I have made a more fair evenhanded statement?

Yes, many of the AFer's do seem to be third party types.  I might point out that by pretending to be a conservative when in truth your aren't would be a good way to besmirch conservative ideals when they came long though.  And those folks would be most effective by staying here.  Even at that, I am only asking that people keep an open mind.  I in no way made any attempt to trash Bush or all his followers.  It wasn't my intent, I didn't do it even by accident, and I would simply ask you to accept this reality.

Now, let's drop this issue.  There are plenty of good Bush supporters, and a few Buchanan supporters on the forum who both support Jim completely.  And this subject is not the topic of this thread.
