| Message | Again I am appauld by the lack of support by the Freedom Party and the Republican Party, It is proof that the name "Freedom" only goes so far for the "Freedom Party" and of course we know the Republican Party is never for anything that would allow choice as that would go against their Moral Code but we were hopping that a middle ground could be reached, though we are seeing more and more that the Freedom Party and Republican Party are seemingly making some back room deals let us hope that such deals don't hurt the parties more then it helps them. |
