Well, I certainly don't disagree with anything you said. But posting favorable views on Romney on THIS website is not going to get anyone anything but grief. It's a decision that each of us has to decide individually, how far to push it with JimRob and the mods, and there are members of the 2007 "purity patrol" still around who make it a point of ferreting out those whose support for Romney is anything other than ABO.
But FR is not a secretive site where you don't know whether what you say will get you banned. JimRob makes it very clear what is allowed here and what will not be tolerated with respect to support of Romney. Those who cross that line and try to proselytize any undecided to Mitts favor are not going to be well received on here, period. Best to let that be and weigh in and discuss the multitude of other conservative topics here.
I don't believe any website is going to satisfy the totality of everyone's political beliefs and if a member believes he/she can not support or at least tolerate the forum's objectives and the positions of the owner, he/she is welcome to go elsewhere. Just my opinion for what it's worth...
Yeah I gotcha bud,all in all its sad to see her go.
Well said.
I pretty much agree. I’ve doubted that anyone got zotted just for voting for Romney, or indicating intention to. But you hear things.
Yeah, JimRob owns this site and some good common sense ought to have those who want to remain to temper their Romney remarks, it’s just good manners if nothing else.
I will end with my observation, for what it’s worth, that FreeRepublic, no matter how hamster-driven it sometimes runs, has the absolute best news discussion and commentary system of any web site on the Internet, bar none.
The “ping” function is great, Freepmail is unmatched most anywhere if I’m right with ageing mind.
I’ve not found a web site designed any better and that’s the truth.
