You said — “I’m still waiting to see the edit.”
You would have been waiting a very long time for that edit ... LOL ...
And this is a good example why you should never base “facts” on your own “political persuasion”. The “facts” exist apart from a political viewpoint and/or persuasion. SO ... no matter what you “prefer” you should always fact-check.
It appears that they were right ... I just received the citation ...
Quote from Jim Robinson ...
Well, I just didn’t have many options left. Most all other large conservative sites had already stopped resisting. The other candidates and potential candidates: Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, even Palin, DeMint, West, Walker and just about anyone who would potentially be the miracle candidate to come out of the convention had already endorsed Romney. Most of the conservative pundits and talkers endorsed him including Coulter, Malkin, Hannity, Rush, Levin, Reagan; Ingraham, et al. Even the pro-life, pro-family sites were endorsing him. Even the Christian sites. And many of the tea party groups. I was beginning to feel like the Lone Ranger here. It was pretty damn drafty with my butt hanging out there like that with only a few holdout sites left and our dear loyal supporters here on FR. And I was seriously losing sleep over this. My opinion of Romney has not changed one iota, but I now think it is more important that we wipe out the Marxists if we can this election and take on the RINOs in the next battle. My personal opinion is not important, especially if we’re just a small group of devout resistance fighters and holdouts. Guess I’ll reluctantly have to join Palin, Levin and the others and go all in with our last choice, last chance candidate. It sucks but there it is. But if he pulls a McLame on us, we’re pretty much done for. Praying for the best.

I knew about that, but the Wikipedia says a little more, and is not sourced.
I was well aware of JR having to change his public position on the Romney ticket for freepers nationally, but I wasn’t aware of this statement, and am still not, yet.
“”However, just nine days before election day 2012, Robinson backtracked, admitting he was voting for Romney and a straight GOP ticket. [56]””
Really???
Reminder.. This is the WikiP.D.A. quote "However, just nine days before election day 2012, Robinson backtracked, admitting he was voting for Romney and a straight GOP ticket. [56]" with the [56] directing to the nonexistant link so the statement is unsourced.
Your 'proof' post does not satisfy that statement. It is not a post from nine days before the election (since it was posted in August) and it does not say that he is voting for Romney and a straight Repub ticket. What it does say is that JR can no longer actively oppose MythRomney because he seems to be the lastIn addition, the TBL post reportedly linked in the nonexistant link was also posted in August.
Someone has a strange calendar. And reads more into a statement than is there. For your proof to be valid, produce one (from FR) that actually says JR will vote for Romney and a straight Repub ticket. Extra points awarded if it is actually from nine days before the election.
If you can produce such 'facts' then you would be correct that 'they' were right. If not, 'they' are mistating something, either date, fact, or both and you still have valid reason to edit the WikiP.D.A. article.
Still waiting for real facts not interpretations from your political viewpoint and/or persuasion. In the absence of same, I’m still waiting to see the edit.
