How Many Freepers Will Leave The GOP? Man50D Posted on 02/07/2008 10:39:44 AM PST by Man50D Romney has now bowed out of the race leaving only McCain, Paul and Huckabee. It's impossible the latter two have any chance of garnering enough delegates to win the nomination. That leaves McCain. He has slapped Conservatives in the face more than enough times by siding with Socialist Democrats on issues. It's clear McCain will take the GOP farther to the left. The question now becomes how many of you have had enough of the GOP abandoning Conservatism and will in turn leave the GOP? 1 posted on 02/07/2008 10:39:45 AM PST by Man50D [ Post Reply | Private Reply | View Replies ] To: Man50D I am out.... 2 posted on 02/07/2008 10:40:20 AM PST by The Forgotten Man (He works, he votes, generally he prays--but he always pays....)

Suppose McCain loses out to Hillary or Obama this year. Then conservatives will want to gear up and plan for the 2010 mid terms and 2012 presidential election. And if McCain wins, he’s getting old, he may not run for re-election in 2012. The Clintons were criticized for running the permanent campaign, but maybe it’s a good idea. There will be events and candidates and issues to consider beyond whatever happens in this years election cycle. 29 posted on 02/07/2008 10:44:53 AM PST by Dilbert San Diego [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 9 | View Replies ] To: Man50D Not much point in leaving until there’s somewhere useful to go.

Herr Robinson will have to purge these heretics, given his penchant to vote for the "lesser of two evils."
Alex Jones just ended his show today by "thanking the FReepers for helping destroy the country." LOVE IT!!!!!!
LOL. They're a legend in their own minds.
And a walk through the oceans of their souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
