Good by and good luck to you.

You keep repeating this useless phrase. For what its worth I started lurking just after the Civil War and started posting in the '60's before Al Gore invented the Internet.
As to Bob J, nobody owes him an answer to a "when did you quit beating your wife" question. The picture express the clear view that Jim Rob is the equivalent of Jim Jones and any FReeper that doesn't agree with Bob J is a brainless follower and cult member. This is clear to most everyone but you and no matter how many times you express your mistaken view it is changing no minds as it doesn't change the facts.
Let's get a few things straight. First, any objection to the pic I posted at 187 is simply ridiculous. As hennie pennie has pointed out (thanks Hennie) the use of the term “drink the kool aid” has to have been used at least 100,000 times on FR. It wasn't even posted to Jim yet people are alleging I called Jim a murderer. Huh?
Give me a break. The feigned outrage over actually posting a pic (which is worth 1000 words) which has also been done many times here to make a point are nothing but crocodile tears.
HP also correctly deduced the meaning. I've posted many times that my concern with the Palin worship is that if she doesn't get the nomination her supporters may be so outraged they pull a “PUMA” and boycott the election which could throw it to Obama. When someone asked what was so wrong with FR being Palin Country the pic told the answer better than I could...supporters might sacrifice their vote in a demonstration of indignation and kill any chance of unseating Obama taking the rest of us with them.
I have to believe 99% of posters understood my meaning and the outrage was feigned disgust and hyperbole.
I've also said many times that I like Sarah but don't love her and most of my comments are directed at the so called Palin worshipers who won't allow ANY kind constructive analysis or criticism of her, her actions or words. I and other critics have been subject to most vile and profane comments one can imagine. Yet all of these are okay and a pic of Jonestown a scandal? How many Palin supporters have expressed criticism at the filthy scatological and homosexual references (not to mention the obligatory ‘go back to DU’ refs) that are posted? Very few if any. So excuse me if I find your “outrage” at any of my comments a little hypocritical and self serving.
Lastly, I think the original question posted here is a valid one. Many on this website are currently engaged in a “burn down the tent” and “run the RINO’s out of town” effort. Anyone who expresses any kind of support for RINO’s, in particular McCain, Graham, etc. are asked to leave. Jim Robinson himself has made it clear that this is a RINO free zone and anyone not with the program is not welcome.
So what if Palin endorses and supports McCain? Does that mean we have to run Sarah out of town? Do people make excuses for it? Does she get a pass? Why not others as well? You can't draw a line in the sand like that then step over it the first time things don't go your way. People constantly talk about maintaining “principles” over politics, is that just talk?
IMO if this happens, it will be an opportunity for people to show their words weren't just loud but empty political rhetoric. Will Palin/anti-RINO supporters stick to their principles or toss them overboard for political expediency?
I got an idea how it will go down, I just wanted to hear from the people who are going to be effected most by it.
For the last time, if Palin wins the nom I will vote for her in the general. She hasn't won me over yet but there is still time. I'm not a Mittbot or Huckster or Paulite. Like Palin, there are things I like and don’ like about all of them. If Cheney were to run I would support him. I like DeMint and want to see where he goes. I haven't picked a candidate to support yet, it's still a long way off and nobody has declared.
