I recall during the primary strict instructions were posted here to not post any pro-Romney posts - This was an anti-Romney site.
What happened?
This is NOT a pro-romney post. It’s a pro Jim Thompson post.
What happened?
The GOPe convinced many to vote ABO.
That is a problem, a huge problem.
Is ABO a good strategy? Yes, and No.
It will be good to get BHO and the socialists out, however what happens then?
If Romney/Ryan wins and the GOPe agenda replaces the socialist agenda what will the ABO people do? Lay down, give up on the Tea Party and a conservative agenda?
Will there be an extended honeymoon?
Not as far as I am concerned! Unless a conservative, smaller government, lower taxes agenda is followed I will fight against Romney/Ryan as strongly as I do now, more so because the GOPe will have done what it always does.
They say give them the vote one more time and things will improve. Then they stab us in the back! They tell us to STFU, sit on our hands and go along to get along.
NO MORE!
They can go to hell!
Then come 2016, after 4 years of conservatives fighting against the GOPe the left will use that against the RR administration and socialists could take the WH and all of congress.
Unless we swallow the same old GOPe line. You have to vote for us! It’s the most important election in our lifetime! We promise this time we will include your conservative agenda!
And the cycle starts anew....SUCKERS!
There was a period of time during which FR was pretty much the sole remaining opposition site anywhere.
Finally that changed, and FR got on board. Sort of.
While it’s still entirely safe to oppose Romney here, Thompson has moderated and now actually proposes some degree of working together in this election.
Sort of. :D
“...This was an anti-Romney site.
What happened?”
People were so afraid of Obama that they decided to drop their opposition to socialism, govt. run healthcare, abortion, gun control, the homo agenda and a general further erosion of our freedom.
Then JR posted that he was going to vote Romney.
That was all it took.
Free Republic flipped.
It is now a pro Romney sort of a place. Begrudgingly and with great reluctance, but a pro Romney site nonetheless.
So now we have a bunch of freepers running around waving magic underwear on a pole while chanting “rah rah Romney”.
Meanwhile, the rest of us just slowly shake our heads and mutter under our breath while we wonder what the hell this country is coming to.
