I usually just scroll right past the things about Romney.
It's really not that difficult to do.

I have been a minor participant at Free Republic, the Internet’s leading conservative forum, since September 2004. An online friend referred me to a discussion where members of Free Republic were talking about the 1952 and 1956 presidential elections, and using my maps from this page to make a point. I had to join FR to introduce myself to that group, and thank them for visiting. Because that was right after the “Rathergate” scandal, I thus became one of the “Pajamahadeen” that had just brought down the Sauronic eye of CBS.
Being a “Freeper” has been an interesting and fun experience, but I am disturbed by a current trend on those boards. For the past few weeks, at least since the latest fundraising drive ended, I have noticed that every new thread begins with a picture or video reminding us that Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate, supports abortion. It doesn’t matter what the topic is, the anti-Mitt material pops up.
Personally, I think our current priorities ought to be making sure President Obama and his leftist pals don’t force their health care plan down our throats, and defeating as many moonbats as possible in next year’s congressional and gubernatorial elections, especially Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Chris Dodd and Slobbering Barney Frank. Then in 2011 or 2012 we can fight over who we want for the presidency. Consequently, yesterday I posted the following on the Kentucky board:
Is anyone else getting sick and tired of the Mitt Romney bashing that goes on at the beginning of each new thread? Granted, he may not be conservative enough for most of us (my first choice for 2012 would probably be Sarah Palin or Duncan Hunter), but he just HAS to be better than the Chicago mob that rules Washington now. Somebody ought to tell Jim Robinson that BHO and his cabal are the real enemy, not Mitt. Sheesh, an outside observer looking at us now is probably getting the impression that Republicans eat their own. And as for Mitt Romney being a Mormon, well, I’m more concerned about Harry Reid’s Mormon faith. Does he HAVE any?
Four replies have appeared since then, and only one agrees with me. The others just said we ought to do whatever we can to make Mitt Romney unelectable. I guess I’m going to take a timeout from Free Republic. Hopefully the Freepers will be acting more sensibly when I return. ’Bye, see you guys next year.
Ditto.
He posts a link right back to this thread. WTF?

Pretty much GOP vs. Libertarian. And at that time there were a lot of libertarian leaners on FR. Not so much now.
“but I’m also quite pragmatic at times.”
Pragmatism is good, it leads to accomplishments instead of being bogged down with indecision, inaction and unworkable solutions.
What I believe he was telling you is is that you keep asking for names - JRBC said she was not going to read the 18 thousand + posts to get the names.
He linked you back to her post.
Rats! Why didn’t I think of that?
Like a pragmatic Cap and Trade bill? Like a pragmatic amnesty bill? Like a pragmatic Obamacare bill? Don't you think there are times to draw a line in the sand?
Well, gee. I guess Jim doesn’t want Romney as our next President. I guess he’s focusing on us NOT voting for ANYTHING WEARING an R. Maybe he wants an actual conservative as our nominee. Since the other side got a Real Communist as their nominee this time.
I get that. In other words, he made the claim and yet he expects us to do what he’s supposed to do....back up his own claim with proof.
Sorry. Not in this reality.
It depends, Wissa.
We can have the greatest candidate in the world, but a great candidate who loses by 20 points...STILL LOST.
You have your principles, I’d rather have my country.
He does support socialized medicine and he inflicted it on the State he governed. How stupid can a Rino get? He supposed to be so great with handling money and he’s about bankrupted the State. They are now rationing care and ripping off hospitals to pay for Romney’s Rino generosity. He should have vetoed that monster and let the Democrats take “credit” for what is happening there.
I don’t know if some reject Romney because he’s a Morman but that baiting is not going to work on me. If he were a conservative, I would support him. He is not even an economic conservative - he is a socialist! The last thing we need in power right now is a Rino playing tweaking games with the globalist pinkos the Democrats have put in power and the media. We need a conservative.
That’s not true. Not everyone here agrees with every word of Jim’s platform perfectly. But all who mostly agree are welcome. There are Jews, atheists, and libertarians here. Even people who thought they were liberals but are realizing they might not be are here.

I should have added that everything should be checked with a “go no go gauge” before final release.
She, not he.
If you are so curious go read the thread. It did happen but if you think I am going to go back and read the thread so I have names to satisy you, forget it.
Did you ever see A Fish Called Wanda? Funny movie!
satisfy
So I guess its kinda like the global warming people making their claims, and if they're questioned on it, they just say "the science is settled".
They will protect me from the flying monkey’s.
Still stuttering, I see. Hold your breath for 30 seconds. No wait, thats for hiccups. Hmmm...
It’s K-K-K-Ken c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me.
“Right. It is time to stop whipping the dead horse.”
Unfortunately for the people of Mass. the socialized medicine horse Romney left behind is far from dead. He’s out bragging about being the one who bankrupted the state and led people to rationed health care and underpaid hospitals in one of the strongest medical research hubs of the Nation. What, is he stupid?
