Mr. Michael Peroutka: His Face Is Set

...please prayerfully consider Michael Peroutka as worthy of your vote as the next President of the United States.

BWA HA HA HA! Are these people looney tunes for real or is it all a big joke to them?????????

On another thread page, you said that the mission statement on the home page is still current. Others have since expressed their doubts, and I would like to know if this applies to my questions below.

Since President Bush has exceeded Bill Clinton in terms of federal largesse, it seems to me that supporting Bush's campaign contradicts this statement.

As a U.S. citizen, I support Bush in his efforts to carry out his Constitutionally-authorized duties as President for his elected tenure, and I am thankful when he fulfills them.

Considering that he has signed bills that implement unconstitutional spending and infringe on Constitutional liberties (such as campaign finance reform) and that he has called for further government expansions, we know that he intends to further roll out (not "roll back") federal largesse.

May we continue to post about efforts to stop acheivement of his intentions of liberally spending our tax dollars?

As a "gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism" are posts about non-Republican conservative efforts also allowed?

I am grateful that this was the case in the past, and I hope that FreeRepublic will continue to "champion causes which further conservatism in America" and "have fun doing it!"

I'd like to have a candidate I can really support from the heart. I wish Peroutka's campaign would hurry and make yard signs, bumper stickers, and t-shirts available to the public. I'd also like to see them run commercials during this summer's Olympics so that Peroutka's name gets out there to people who otherwise might not know him.

Peroutka's web page has the image for the bumper sticker available for free. I printed it out and put it inside the rear window of my car.

used to be a FReeper named Constitution Party... wonder what happened to him??

There's Mid-state Constitution Party, but he has not posted in a long time.

David Black would be MUCH more comfortable if he removed that stick.

Yes, advancing conservatism, etc, is the mission statement. We do that by electing the most conservative people we can possibly elect and by doing all we can to ensure that conservative judges get appointed and confirmed, and by doing all we can to see that America and our freedom and liberty is defended and preserved. And, obviously (to most of us), helping to elect the United Nations loving, abortionist, gay agenda advancing, Marxist/liberal John Kerry would be a giant step backwards from where we are today.

Bush will defend America. Kerry will surrender to the United Nations.

Bush has said no to Kyoto and other sovereignty robbing treaties. Kerry will sign on to all he possibly can.

Bush will appoint conservative judges. Kerry will appoint liberal activists.

Bush is a proven tax cutter. Kerry has sworn to raise our taxes.

Bush is pro-life, pro-family, pro-God, pro-gun, pro-America. Kerry is an America hating, abortionist, homosexualist, feminist, godless pinko hippy peacenik.

Either we reelect Bush or obviously we get stuck with the corrupt Kerry. That would be a huge setback to our conservative causes.


Free Republic is a grass roots organization and it IS independent of any party, including any third parties, but that doesn't mean we can't support the best available conservative for the job. I defend America. I defend freedom. I support the conservative cause and I wholeheartedly support Bush for reelection and want nothing whatsoever to do with splitting the conservative vote thereby helping to usher in another corrupt liberal Democrat.

Like I said above, if you want to promote a spoiler do it elsewhere. Free Republic is a place to advance conservatism, not liberalism.

Bush for reelection and want nothing whatsoever to do with splitting the conservative vote thereby helping to usher in another corrupt liberal Democrat.

Don't you think that by running for re-election after advocating and implementing abhorrent liberal policies that Bush is splitting the conservative vote? He would serve conservatives better by dropping out of the race and supporting someone who is consistent in his positions.

He barely beat a half-witted socialist Democrat who served in the previous administration. A repeat race, especially after outspending said administration, will only further divide conservatives.

[Jim Robinson]

Look, I support GW Bush 100% over John Kerry even if I don't like some of his policies. Is that so hard to understand?

Don't you think that by running for re-election after advocating and implementing abhorrent liberal policies that Bush is splitting the conservative vote?

No, holding Bush to a "Reagan" standard that Reagan himself would have fallen well short of is splitting off a fairly small part of the conservative vote.

[The_Eaglet]

I understand that.

[The_Eaglet]

Why not hold Bush to the standard of his oath to preserve and defend the Constitution

Why don't you guys go start your own damned website

I will honor Jim's request and start a forum site for the Constitution Party and other conservatives upset with the current moderate state of the GOP, as not to upset anyone else here at FreeRepublican.

This new site will be a "online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web." Whis will allow us to work "to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America."

[Jim Robinson]

Good lu8ck. But don't come here recruiting.

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, right. By electing John Kerry? Get real.

[The_Eaglet]

Great idea. You might want to change the wording to avoid copyright infringement.

We need all the conservative sites we could get to balance out widespread coverage with stories filtered by selective liberal media, many of which purport to be fair or unbiaseed.

[The_Eaglet]

If he were to endorse Peroutka it would help defeat Kerry or whoever the Democrats nominate.

If Bush were to apologize for his liberal actions, stop all of his socialistic and unconstitutional spending, call for repeals of the unconstitutional legislation he has signed, and direct some more of our existing resources to border defense and expired visa violations, I would consider voting for him.

Right now, we don't have reason to think that he would do any of the above, and it might be less trouble for him to endorse another conservative candidate.

[k2blader]

That was a pretty childish outburst.

I like hearing various conservative points of view. Non-Republicans can have valid ideas.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

And we'd never have a governable majority. I don't like this liberal stuff either, but conservatism is not yet the majority. Sometimes he has to throw bones in order to win elections.

[Jim Robinson]

Fine, but they're not going to use FR for their official recruiting campaigns.

[The_Eaglet]

"coverage with stories" above was meant to be "coverage of stories".
