Regrouping

JANUARY 22, 2016 ~ CONSISTENTCONSERVATIVES

This is an emergency means for us to keep in touch with our FRiends, who are real Conservatives, in case of purging. Or, if there is no purging, do we really want to continue our discussions in the forum where the owner despises us for not supporting his non-Conservative candidate?

My purpose is to figure out what to do to continue our discussions to advance Conservatism.

Jim Rob is one of a kind!!!

[mrsmith]

NO.
These were people who constantly posted insults and idiocy- most of them anyway.
They embarrassed Cruz supporters and negated efforts here to inform people of Cruz’s fine qualities.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

That’s

[don-o]

Will you vote for Trump if he is the nominee?

I propose that we ALL lay that question on the table. It does nothing but stir up strife. Let the process work.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Received word that disgruntled FReepers are passing the above message around underground. Let's get it aboveboard.

There is a lot of recognizable names over there, good to know who the traitors are.

Thank you Jim.

Been here since 2000 election and popup every 4 years since.

Forum is still great.

We are all fortunate to have such a wonderful gathering place compared to anywhere else on the web.

Freepers are usually a pretty classy bunch in my opinion. :)

Brothers. This is . good analysis of what was going on. Your attempt to keep things civil was no doubt lost in the fray. My analysis at the time was that outside instigators were leading the attacks.

Keep up.the effort. See you around

“If Cruz is the nominee, will you vote for him?”

Absolutely. Will you vote for Trump if he’s he nominee? Or is this a one way street?

I noticed that Jim Rob has been quick to say (today) he’s voting for Cruz. I want to see how quickly the mood changes at FR when Trump starts losing.

Nice comment....

I’ve been here since 1997. We go through this craziness every four years, and I’ve learned to keep my head down until tempers cool. I’m not going anywhere.

[FreeReign]

If Trump hadn't run, what would these "consistent conservatives" have done? They would have bickered and circular-argumented themselves to death about who was more conservative, Christie/Huckabee/Bush/Rubio/Fiorina. Cruz would have been completely destroyed by the media/Dems and Paul is a non-factor.

Cruz would have had more support, if it wasn't for Trump, not less.

[dforest]

Ole Normie Lenhart is over there using his same old tired schpiel.

Edmund Wright too.

Oh, and a lot of hatin’ going on too.

Good place for it.

[Read Write Repeat]

For over fifteen years, I thought I knew it all.

Much gratitude to you and FR for opening my eyes to the truth.

[digger48]

Not much to add to that.

Good rant!

[DesertRhino]

“but then demand that we vote for whom-ever the Republican nominee is.”

You just asked us if we would support Cruz if he won. Almost every Trump voter I know quickly says yes. Then you come out and sound like you wouldn’t.
You should think hard about that.

[SisterK]

You are sort of stuck with me.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yeah, I noticed.....reminds of the new and upcoming “TrueBlueLiberty” days....good to see what the self professed “real conservatives” are really made of.

[PA Engineer]

You are funny. See you are in good standing with them there.

[beandog]

You’re correct.
