I thought that "personal attacks" weren't allowed. Not that I really care what you think. Just saying'.
I really have no party. I would describe myself as a rather typical Tea Party religious conservative. The truth is that my kind were driven from the GOP by Bill Buckley back in 1992, when he canned Buchanan, Sobran, Francis, et al.
The really frustrating thing for me the past 20 years was pitiful spectacle of my fellow conservatives panting around the GOP table waiting for the Country Club gang to throw them some scraps. At least enough to get them out to vote.
Chiang Kai Shek famously said that "the Japanese are a disease of the skin, the (Chinese) Communists are a disease of the heart." And he was right. The Japanese occupation was doomed from the get-go, because they were foreigners, and over time China always got rid of its foreign occupiers. But that's not true for an internal enemy like the Chicoms.
It's the same here. We conservatives need to WAKE UP and realize that Karl Rove ("the GOP is the party of Big Government"), Mitt Romney and all that they represent, are our most lethal enemy. We need a full-on purge of the Party. And if it means four more years fighting the Battle of the Wilderness, then so be it.
I can only speak for myself. But I note that Jim Robinson made it very, very clear for years now that he would never support Romney. The Country Club Set ignored the warning. Now we conservatives need to make good on the threat, or lose all credibility within the GOP.
It would be far better for Obama to win, at least in the long run.
I'm voting Libertarian for President, GOP for all others, providing that they're conservatives.

***It gets confusing at times, doesn’t it?
I really have no party.
***And neither does Free Republic. This is a conservative website, not a republican website. It’s amazing how many freepers simply do not know that.

***That’s the rub. Free Republic seems to have been infiltrated by CINOs.

***I’d rather fight someone in front of me than get stabbed in the back by an internal betrayer.

***Looking at 2016, if Romney wins we would need to try to unseat a sitting republican president in the primaries. The ABO crowd seem to think this is possible, though it’s never been done.
We need a full-on purge of the Party.
***And possibly, Free Republic. On the original bugzapper thread, JimRob said that if tootyfruityrudy would become the nominee, there would be a major purge of FR to get rid of all the RINOs. Perhaps the same thing needs to happen now that Romnuts is the apparent nominee.
And if it means four more years fighting the Battle of the Wilderness, then so be it.
***We started FR in the wilderness. We can do it again.

***Again you are saying, “we conservatives”. The problem I see is that there really aren’t that many conservatives posting on FR. When I scratch the surface of antagonists on FR, I find CINOs. Lots of CINOs.
It would be far better for Obama to win, at least in the long run.
***I see your courage in putting out that statement. No matter what happens in this election, conservatism lost. Maybe Ryan is a bone thrown to conservatives, but you can’t survive on bones.

***I recently decided to vote for fellow Freeper Tom Hoefling/Eternal Vigilance. At least he pings us once in a while. I have no doubts about his conservatism.
