“Some of that has to be expected and endured, and ignored, if it becomes over done, over used, personal, and is creating logjams and hijackings, and too much bloodshed on threads, then a little slap down and a reminder of what freerepublic is, seems called for occasionally.”
You are right of course. I used to be of the mindset that GOP = Conservative and voted accordingly...and would have thought not voting for the GOP nominee was being a traitor. Of course, with my increasing age and experience I realize that is a naive view...but not something you can tell someone younger...or for that matter desparate to get rid of the current Dem POTUS.
“The last 3 months of an election year when freerepublic is against the GOP nominee, is going to be interesting and challenging.”
You know, from the posts I have read (especially in response to Jim’s post like this one) I am convinced that 75% of FR regulars are ABOs, and with the advent of Ryan that number has gone up. Those of us that oppose Romney, out of principle, may have to tone it down just to keep it from destroying the forum. I hate to back down like that, but at the same time I can’t see that I’m getting anyone to think, just pushing them into being more stubborn in their resolve to replace Obama with Romney, no matter how unsuitable Romney is for that purpose. Anyway, I’m probably going to post less often, and on threads where it won’t cause open warfare here on FR. I don’t like rabble rousers and if that all I can accomplish, it isn’t worth the effort. Besides, I know that ultimately America’s problems cannot be solved by political methods....they can only be made worse.
I am convinced that 75% of FR regulars are ABOs,
***true inundation by CINOs, as I’ve been saying for a few years.

I would like to see an idealogy litmus matrix here on Free Republic, but when I proposed it to Jimrob, he called me a newbie.

To: babygene I don’t think he’s all that interested.
To: MHGinTN It doesn’t matter what a FReeper thinks. It’s just a list that they tell us what they think. That way we can tell who we’re dealing with.

To: Jim Robinson Hah hah, that’s great. I signed up 2 months after you and I’m a newbie. Back then no one even said, “Welcome to FR”. But yeah, I do think that there are tons of RINOs. To be more accurate, the term would be CINOs.
I’ve been pushing for an idealogical litmus matrix here on FR, not to get rid of RINOs but to expose them.
THE GOP DOESN’T WANT US- SO WHAT’S NEXT?

***It simply takes too long. Look at this thread alone. I see evidence of RINOism in some of the FReepers on this thread. It takes 700 posts to drill down. We need the matrix posted and available so that we don’t have to drill down on every FReeping thread. They’re wasting our time. Deliberately.
Agreed to a large degree. Perhaps a way to rate members by other members???
