You're laying it on a little thick. To get zotted from this community, you have to make a distinct effort. Yes, there are some third rails not to touch, but they are eminently logical at this stage in the process.

I watched my old FRiend the_doc get zotted for merely stating that he would not vote for Trump in the general election. Frankly since I live in California, I might not vote for him either, because my vote counts for nothing and my conscience prohibits me from wasting my vote on someone who isn't truly pro-life or pro-constitution. I have my doubts about what Trump believes, especially since he now wants to change the platform on abortion to make it more liberal.

A lot of people were zotted for saying things that were simply opinions that went contrary to the feelings of the owner. Of course that's his right, but it is also pretty dumb to zot old time Freepers who are standing on principle, even when that principle might seem to be counterproductive in the long run.

Personally, if I have to compromise my principles to vote for someone, I will not vote for them. I will suffer the consequences.

When I die, I am not going to be standing before the Free Republic Admin Moderator and asked to give an accounting of my life.

That "NeverTrump. That's a vote for Hillary. Jim admonished FR members not to adopt that position. I agree with Jim.

So, fair enough. The_doc chose poorly, and he provoked JimRob.

I'm sure he'll be back after he comes back to his senses.

Because refusing to vote for Trump, and thereby helping Hillary, is counterproductive, insane, whatever you'd like to call it. I call it dead wrong.

It would have been easy enough for him to keep that opinion to himself if he knew it would antagonize JimRob (and he did know that)...

Vote Trump
