I understand that FR is not a pro-Romney site, but since he will be the nominee and is less bad than Obama, why should it become an anti-Romney site?

That’s just the nature of this site. All or nothing.

Because FreeRepublic is all about conservative principles and Romney, and now the GOP by extension have none.

“I understand that FR is not a pro-Romney site, but since he will be the nominee and is less bad than Obama”

You comparison is simply a lie situational conservatives tell themselves to justify voting for a democrat with an (R) after his name.

Oh...do you believe that we should all just cast aside principle and kiss his ring now after he spent millions in destroying the candidacy of other candidates?

The article is just the vanguard of the attack that will now be unleashed on Romney by the press. He has no chance in hell of defeating Obama. I, for one, will hold him responsible for giving Obama a second term.

I’m not sure how Jim’s going to handle this awkward place....I can’t see FR supporting either...rather focusing on conservative bills...topics and those who represent us in congress.

Such as with Scotus...opposing those who will not abide by the constitution. No matter how the picture is there are still conservative prinicples we can fight for...

[cripplecreek]

Romney is a full on liberal socialist who runs as a republican because he knows that some will vote GOP no matter what.

Its pretty obvious that many would vote for Obama is he changed parties and that’s no exaggeration.

It's become a clearinghouse for orthodox “conservatives” to demand 100% purity from politicians, yet none of them are willing to run for the office themselves. They always think it's someone else’s “duty” to lead the conservative charge as long as they get to call all the shots. Funny how Newt...yes, the same Newt who sat on the couch with Pelosi...became the great FR savior. He is a compromise to conservatism just like Mitt is, albeit in differing degrees. Politics is war...you fight with the tools you have, not the ones you wish you had. But those who put the punishment of the Republican Party ahead of the health of the USA will not get any support from me.

"...but since he will be the nominee and is less bad than Obama, why should it become an anti-Romney site?"

It's relative. If Romney was a moderate with a few blemishes, FR would probably back him. If Romney was who he claimed to be in his campaign speeches, FR would probably back him

But Romney's record is pro-abortion, pro-sodomy=marriage, pro-Romneycare the model for Obamacare, anti-gun, pro-big government.

Were left asking what's the difference between Obama and Romney. And were coming up with so little that it's not worth voting for a GOP-labeled liberal and having the liberal agenda attached to the GOP. Let the Obama and the democrats reap the failures from the liberal agenda.

[DannyTN]

As an example, what’s the first thing that Romney did, once it was clear he had the nomination? Named an open gay person to be his main spokeman.

That’s a conservative? I don’t think so.

This forum is probably going to officially be a pro-Virgil Goode forum.

After I vote for Newt in the California primary I am going to re-register in the Constitution Party and vote for their candidate.

If Romney is going to be elected he is going to do it with the votes of Northeastern Liberal Republicans, liberal democrats who are disillusioned with Obama and liberal uninformed independents.

That is his target constituency.

They can have him.

[ejonesie22]

Because there is an argument to be made that he is actually worse than Obama. He has an R after his name and the “opposition” party backs his liberal ideas. How much pressure you think will be placed on the Republicans in both houses to stand behind a Republican President and his policies?

In effect Romney's election ends any pretense that there is any opposition party at all. What ever roadblocks there have been to a socialist agenda will have evaporated.

Wow. You must have a tin-ear.

Romney Obama the Same
