When did Freepers turn so nasty? (vanity)

This is the most important election ever for these United States. If we choice wrong this election the country, its' people and its' constitution are in the trash bin of history.

As I see it there is only one candidate that is not bought and paid for by the Marxist globalists hell bent on creating their "make the world safe for the rich" oligarchy. Want to see what life is like when ruled by an oligarchy? Visit Mexico. And then there is the other war with Islam. And we've got to win that war too or once again we are finished.

So yeah this election is kindof important and just about everyone knows it. There is really only one battle going on at FR and that is between supporters of "Trump the good" and those of "Cruz the bad." Hang in there this cycles' FR primary war will be over soon.

If you don't vote Trump you either become a serf to the NWO oligarchy or (if you are a man) you lose your head to a Muslim (if you are a women you'd wish you were a man).

Cruz is funny looking.

Those eyes...

To my dismay, the moderators didn't even bother to delete it.

Perhaps they never SAW it!

I cannot image spending my time looking thru all of these threads; every day; hours on end...

Uh... wait...

[Elsie]

I’m on a knife’s edge on whether I’ll be able to bring myself to vote for Trump in the general election. If I do it will be the hardest vote I’ve ever cast.

Can I assume that you voted for Romney last time?

[MarDav]

Well, it’s easy to see who you’re voting for! Your photo side-by-side of Cruz compares him with a hound dog...nuthin’ but a hound dog. Obviously to suggest that he was cryin all the time. But weren’t the orangutan’s the intellectuals on the Planet of the Apes?

[Elsie]

People are idiots.

You are stuttering...

[yuleeyahoo]

Well said.

For myself, I do try not to say anything I will later regret and not be able to walk back. I find it helps to take a deep breath before posting while I consider alternate ways of making my point.

Being on the receiving end of some REALLY nasty rhetoric, and seeing other FReepers get taken out to the woodshed over and over and over, this is the nastiest time ever here on FR.

When it gets too wild and wooly here in the News/Activism area; we can always move of to the Religion Forum where peace and love prevails.

Many are inexperienced at posting their opinions without feeling the need to alyinski the other candidate.

marginalize, criticize, demonize then criminalize.

Just remember, there are the RINOS on the left of the GOP and RINOS on the right of the GOP and they can’t stand each other and are constantly trying to push each other out from underneath the GOP tent.

This is nowhere near as bad as it was the first time Ron Paul went for the nomination. It seems that an invisible hand has actually toned down the direct personal attacks and insults.

Is it really out of control? Or are we one of the places where the issues get thrashed out, and everyone can have an opinion? One thing I learned early on as a Freeper. If anyone is too sensitive or unimformed to defend themselves, it's not a happy place for them!

[Elsie]

And they harangue you for money every 3 months!

"At least I don’t think anyone has started their own site. ;-)"

LOL, I really hare to do this but Consistent Conservatives Hard core Cruz fan bots

[FreedomForce]

Yes, I did. I couldn’t bring myself to vote for McCain even with Palin on the ticket. I voted for the black guy in 2008...Alan Keyes. Thowaway vote.

[Elsie]

Where is the FR poll showing the current support for the Republican candidates?

[Elsie]

Posting on FR is an important responsibility.

Speak up, and out, EVERYWHERE!

The Silent Majority didn't do much good!

[Elsie]

I’ve only been here since 2000 and admit I’ve been mostly a lurker but I’ve never seen it so ugly.

Just yesterday, I was called "UGLY!" by a toad!

Almost every poster here who is supporting Trump also supported Cruz as their number 2 candidate Almost every Cruz supporter hated Trump from the beginning and has never had a number 2 candidate.

For a long time, I preferred Cruz, but very quickly Trump became my second choice.

Now I prefer Trump, but would get behind Cruz if he wins the nomination.

I know a lot of Cruz supporters that would get behind Trump if he wins, but there are way too many who will take their balls, pout and go home if he doesn't win.

I'm just glad that Jeb is such a bad candidate, likewise Kasich, plus Rubio has been exposed.

I like all that. It seems this is coming down to Trump or Cruz, and unless something changes, we should be happy with that. Actually, we should be thrilled.
