Someone needs to tell the poster that all the Cruz supporters were purged long ago.

RE: Where are the Cruz Supporters on FR?

1) Most of them have been Zotted

2) Many of them have come to this forum

3) Some of those who have NOT been Zotted are AVOIDING posting anything derogatory to Trump, preferring to post something more "acceptable" or "JimRob approved" instead, like attacking Democrats.

which is to say, if you are looking for any messages supporting Ted Cruz, FR ain't the site to go to.

And here's the other thing, if you are looking for nationally syndicated Talk show hosts who are supportive of Ted Cruz, these are NOT the people you should be listening to:

Sean Hannity
Laura Ingraham
Michael Savage
Mike Gallagher
Bill Bennett

(I'll reserve my comments about Rush Limbaugh until I listen to him later ).

Those talk shows that are more supportive of Cruz are:

Mark Levin
Michael Medved
Dennis Prager
Kevin McCulloagh

Almost all...lol. I'm currently under suspension. There are very few left, a hardy bunch that braves JimRob's echo chamber.

That is why I find this funny.
They aren't smart enough to figure out that they have fewer and fewer people that are in opposition to them, and it took them all this time to do so.

Either Zotted, or soft Zotted.  I fall into the latter category.  All of my comments are reviewed before published, and anything that is not pro-Trump is simply not allowed.  It's a shame what JimRob has done to his once proud and respected site.

As much as I used to love FR (16 years worth), it seems so troubling that most of the remaining contingent seem to have some brain rotting fungus in their heads.

I also noticed that they're 21 days into their latest Freepathon and at 24% of their goal, slower than usual.  I wonder if that is sinking in yet?

Hm. I hardly recognize any of the handles posting on that thread.

FR may have even more n00bs that TBR, but you can guarantee that none of them will stick around after Hillary wins in November.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

You'll notice many of the rabble-rowsers enticing mob action only come around every four years.  One one of the threads around February or March, before the purges began (and this is by far the biggest purge on their site) there were several people who called out some of them and posted links to their posting history to show they just come out for election cycles and every time, do the same thing- start fights, and get the mob worked up and divide people. It was almost like clockwork.

If you don't remember it, there was a book written around 2001 by a FReeper called 'Hillary's Secret War' and the entire introduction outlined examples they discovered of Clinton political operatives creating accounts on FR and other sites in order to steer opinion.

They know good and well this has happened but for some reason, they let it (they are about the drama, not values any more- that changed somewhere between 2002 and 2004)

Seems like I've been kicked off, also.  Been on for 10 years, but they say I'm a troll now because I questioned Donald.

Come to think about it, I didn't really question Donald, I just asked how come nobody thought Cruz was referring to Donald when he said "is to commit to each of them that we will defend freedom and be faithful to the Constitution?

It's still there, getting views.  The thread is over 300.  Thanks for the plug!  Apparently the purge continues because we still have lifeboats coming in to the FR Refugee Welcome thread.  It's a good thing I still have plenty of coffee and donuts (and beer) for the new arrivals.

Lick spittle cowards lying their heads off about Ted because they know they cannot be challenged.

What an offensive place it has become. I've never read DU but I can't imagine it being any worse.

As for those over there hoping the zotted ones will return, not me.

Zotted, or all of their posts are "moderated".
