I submit some hypothetical scenarios for consideration:
1945 - World War II is over in Europe, and as France begins to rebuild, the provisional government led by General Charles DeGaulle nullifies all past acts by the Nazi-collaborating Vichy government as illegal and anti-constitutional. However the vast numbers of Vichy-collaborators are kept in the many government agencies and departments, and proceed to sabotage and undermine the efforts of the new government.
So: What is wrong with this picture?
1980 - After defeating Jimmy Carter in a 44 state landslide, President-elect Ronald Reagan chooses NOT to fire and dismiss all of the Carter appointees and staff, keeping a goodly number of them in their jobs and positions as a 'friendly gesture of bipartisanship and cooperation'. The leftist Carter crew immediately gets to work by throwing road blocks and obstacles in the path of the Reagan Administration, and by the Fall of 1981 the question is being asked "how did the Gipper fail so quickly?"
Once again I ask: What is wrong with this picture?
2009 - After Free Republic's Founder Jim Robinson declares with absolutely clarity and purpose that FR will NOT support RINOs, and states without equivocation that George W. Bush was (and is) a RINO just like Mitt Witt Romney, Mike Huckleberry Hound, Juan McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Goober Graham, Olympia Snow, Susan Collins, etc., etc., etc., Freepers who continue to sing the praises of George W. Bush and worship the ground he walks on, continue to post their sly suggestions that anyone who criticizes GWB must not be against the current 0bamunist regime in Washington, hints that those who are calling a spade a spade (as in GWB being a RINO and greatly responsible for the colossal mess America is now in) are actually liberals, Bush-haters, trolls, et al.
So once more: What is wrong with this picture?
What we are witnessing is nothing more than a replay of the disgusting RudyBot campaign here on FR which ended with them leaping off into eternal ZOT-dom with their clownish opus posts, practically begging to be banned, and they got their wish for the most part, thanks to the famous 'FR Bug Zapper Thread'. It was a necessary step to eliminate the infestation of liberal-RINO trolls and sleeper accounts from (clearly stated too) a "conservative website".
As I see it, this is the most logical next step for FR:
