You ready for this? Sanity AND serious thought from a Freeper
“We may not have liked or trusted Spector, but he gave the Republicans a very small margin of error. Franken will be seated and there you go. Moreover, there are now no Republicans from the border of NH to VA. We cannot go on like this unless there we can pick up strength in some other places. And that is not going to happen anytime soon.

There are no blue states turning purple and there are no purple states turning red. But there are a number of red states turning purple and a number of purple states turning blue.”

6. Seems like reason is taking a foothold in Freeperville just when DU is losing its mind.
Go figure.

12. Quite obviously, not all of them are brain dead.
Still selfish, racist, and evil (in various proportions, depending on the Freeper) but not necessarily stupid.

13. They can see the handwriting on the wall.
If Republicans want to be a power again, they are going to have to return to their true core values...jettison all the "wedge issue" crap, because we've finally evolved enough as a society that the "wedge issues" are wedging THEM apart. Also, other more pressing matters are on the table, thanks to the fact that we tried 30 years of doing the economy and the government their way and it has failed miserably. That's something they can't jettison. If they still want to be the party of personal responsibility and small government, they have to send a different message: maybe "small government that gets more done more quickly that can't be done by anyone BUT government" and "personal responsibility as much as you can take on, so that more resources are available for those who truly cannot care for themselves."

14. I like your formula for Republican recovery.
I just don't see it happening. They have been captured by their loony base, and they're helpless now, as David Michael Green argues here: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2008/11/24

16. How come we can post links to Free Republic
and not anti-war, or what really happened, or bellaciao or alex jones etc. even when it is an important story?

18. LOL check out some of the other comments.........
Here's one that responded to him

To: mcvey
I couldn't agree more.

We need younger people, more education of people through ads and internet, a younger face, and a positive attitude.

So far, we are batting zero on these things. I am not one to despair, but I am a realist.

Conservative issues do NOT always win, especially if we let the other side present us as bitter losers who don't care about the poor, the sick, etc.

I am disgusted. Back to working on my garage sale and llistening to Rush.

and here's a few more I found somewhat amusing



"One less RINO horn up our butts."

"Good for him. Another RINO down. Long live honesty."

"The problem is that they’ve got their lock on 60 until 2010. There is no stopping the socialist blitzkrieg that will get rammed through in the next 12 months.

Arlen, how far will your 30 pieces of silver get you?"

"Hey, National RNC leadership. Please do the honorable thing:


Please step aside and let the true conservatives run the party...
Obviously, moderate-ism ain't doing it -- now is it?"

Then someone posted this pic for some reason


"Oh my goodness. I would be freaking out but Rush is calming me down. lol. I live in Pennsylvania and now if he does this we are officially fully blue....Ugh! Even though Spector does not vote our side all the time it was nice to know that Pennsylvania at least had one Republican Senator not that he was great but still..."

"Great news. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins should follow."



one guy even states the obvious here he is quoting someone



To: piperpilot
Exactly. I don’t know why people are so happy about this.

I do. There are a bunch of idiots on FR.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Freeper rage is hilarious.
