I don't think the majority of freepers and and FR owner want to run off those of us who were thinking of third party but have changed our minds. Why have a debate then? There are votes out there to get, Tex is not going to capture any of them with the attitude that he/she doesn't care and it doesn't matter anyway, I can tell you that for sure.

He/she has run off two of them that I know of,already and they had a perfect opportunity to join in instead of feel alienated. So instead of "making friends" having fun and being part of the group, they have left disheartened.

Of course you my know the owners better than I do. I don't know the at all but that seems curious to me.

Oh BS.

I didn't say anything about anyone "running" anyone else "off". You said people here don't agree with Tex. You're wrong about that.

I don't personally know Jim Robinson, the owner of this forum - but I know that he is supporting President Bush for re-election, and has publicly stated that he will not allow FreeRepublic to be used by those who seek to promote Bush's defeat in November.

Bingo.
