We the undersigned believe that roger55, does not represent any significant constituency within Free Republic and has proven to serve only as a distraction from the serious issues confronted in candidate debates.

The paucity of roger55's support among registered Republicans, the support he draws from external parties which are aggressively opposed to the constitution, as well as his fundamental opposition to many core principles of this country and his apparent inability to understand even simple geopolitical realities, make his continued presence in future forums undesirable.

roger55's belief that President Clinton and “50 years” of United States foreign policy on Iraq and Iran wasn't responsible for provoking Al Qaeda to attack the United States on September 11, 2001, are views which are totally inimical to common sense and are gravely offensive to the vast majority of Americans.

We FReepers do not wish to be associated with such views, or allow them to distort and damage the substantive content of future presidential debates. By forcing the other posters to confront his unsound and grotesquely anti-American positions on equal terms, roger55 lowers the quality and relevance of any debate and thereby does a substantial disservice.

It is not our belief that roger55 isn't entitled to his views, or to have them publicly heard and addressed. But we object strenuously to them being presented in the context of a Republican party presidential debate, for which they are entirely unsuited and broadly unwelcome. They will be better served in a debate over a party's nomination where they are shared by the party membership, such as under the Communist Party.

Therefore, we the undersigned request roger55's exclusion from future Free Republic presidential debates
