Here is a simple suggestion on how to make friends and influence people on Free Republic.
Read more. Post less.
Read more, because there is a wealth of information regarding conservatism and it's qualities. Had you done this, the answers to your questions would have been self-evident.
Romney might be more conservative than The Swimmer, but not by much, and that isn't the kind of conservative candidate most FReepers are looking to support.
