I have been a minor participant at Free Republic, the Internets 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 doesnt 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 dont force their health care plan down our throats, and defeating as many moonbats as possible in next years 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, Im more concerned about Harry Reids 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 Im 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.
You’re just fashionably late. The chics are all wearing beer goggles now too.
Well that only works in my favor...
I loath Romney also but the reminders are just too early. It does get tiresome. But I don’t make the rules....
Oh Wow! Is this said with a stamping of the foot and appropriate whine in the voice?
Ive seen this comment often on the education threads. Dont post to me ever AGAIN!
My opinion is that if you dont want posts to you then DO NOT PARTICIPATE on message boards. Big boys and girls understand that if you put your big opinionated toe out there in cyberspace it just might get stepped on.
It is obvious that there are NO Hillary supporters here.
What did they do, give a day pass to all the whackaloons?
That one is debatable on whether its because of an expressed opinion about a candidate or whether its because he chose to insult the owner of the site. Not clearcut enough that I'd consider it to be proof.
The alleged butt wiper in question hurled the supreme insult at me and got his butt hurled outta here as my response. Sometimes you live or die by the measure of your insults.
I think there's something cleansing about a duel, so if it ever comes to that, here is my choice... and I want my Opus.
I believe the butt wiper, as we refer to him/her, was asserting the belief as others did that day that Rudy was the only one who could beat Hillary.
Though they all underestimated the stupidity of the liberal voters as 0 got the nomination.
I’ve always only seen it coming from lefties (on another forum). And of course, usually, they throw in the obligatory “So there!”....LOL!
Then you have a short memory.
Oh!...And don't forget the obligatory, “I'm going to **REPORT** you!
Honestly, the Marxists are mentally and emotionally stuck in the 7th grade. Cry baby little girls!

Why thank you, even an axe murderer gets a last meal.
I don’t know, maybe he’s not a butt wiper at all, but, obviously, no, Rudy was not the only person who could beat Hillary. And my point was even if he would’ve been, I’d still want no part of him. Rudy is and always will be a constitution trampling, abortionist/gay rights pushing, gun-grabbing, illegal alien pampering liberal. See Arnold Schwarzenegger, most hated governor in the country.
