Hello, NeoCaveman (and everyone else)! Hope all is well with you.

[Saundra Duffy]

Reaganesque - Thank you so much for your perseverance in the face of such mean spirited opposition.

You would think that since Mitt so graciously stepped aside “for the good of the party and the good of the country . . . in a time of war” that the Mitt haters would take a break but apparently, it is not to be.

I am so proud of all of us who took so much crappola and did not respond in kind. I think I blew it a few times out of shear frustration and anger. But all in all, we handled ourselves in a commendable manner. I, for one, am not ashamed.

That includes the horrific anti Mormon posts and threads here on FreeRepublic. It was nothing short of evil. It was very hard to stomach. Mitt Romney did not deserve to be treated in such a shabby mean way. He is good man with a good family. I am proud of Mitt and all of us who supported and defended him on FreeRepublic.

Go, Mitt! To fight another day . . .

Mitt Romney attracts pure class. After reading numerious idiotic attack posts on FreeRepublic, it is easy to see why many of these posters aren’t attracted to him.

Yeah, you guys were just as kind when Hunter and Fred dropped. But you’re right, I’ll let you comfort one another. You need it.

I shouldn’t be so vindictive. But hey, I’m human. And I’m sorry.

[GOP_Lady]

Thank you so much, Saundra, as well (along with everyone else). :-)

[colorcountry]

Yes, every generation of my family has served in the US military, including my son and daughter in law. I thank them and their fellow armed service members for their service to my country.

I too, have my rights to voice disagreement with any religion. Perhaps you should re-read that constitution thingy.

I felt bad when Fred left I did not know Hunter so I never commented.

I felt the disppointment of others and personally did not have contempt in my heart for them.

You guys had pure hate and that was puzzling unless one was was aganist for being LDS it made sense.

Can someone suggest another site where decent people can go and be treated with respect and equality? I have just about had it with FreeRepublic. And I am one of those original FReepers. I have FReeped ‘til it hurt. I FReeped when no one showed up. I led huge FReeps and little FReeps. I traveled long distances to FReep, including to Washington, DC.

I am grateful to Jim Robinson for being a mentor to me. I FReeped by his side in Modesto for over a year to get rid of Gary Condit. I coordinated the C-Span “American Perspectives” event. I was there on the corner of Shaw & Blackstone when Jim Robinson signed up to become a Republican. I FReeped Danny Glover, just my husband and me in Modesto.

I have been spit on, pushed and shoved, screamed at, flipped off and literally had my life threatened by liberal rats.

But never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would be treated with contempt and suffer such horrific vicious attacks here on FreeRepublic - regarding my LDS faith and my support for Mitt Romney. It has been a very rough ride these past several months with Jim Robinson leading the charge and my heart is pretty much broken.

I need a break from this place before I say something I will regret.

We all the right to make a fools of ourselves and a perfect right to be a loutish boors.

Question is, why would we?

Give me a break. The absolute vitriol from the Romney supporters on all the Huckabee threads proves that your statement is utter nonsense. Some of the comments were so offensive that DU regulars would have been ashamed to post them.

[tantiboh]

Umm... dude... it’s over.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

My condolences to Mitt supporters.

[BlueAngel]

Reaganesque, thank you!!!!

:)

Well, I already told you in freep mail, R, but I'd like to say again how thankful I am for all of your dedication to our cause. As the leader of "our team" you set the bar high and conducted yourself with the utmost of class and grace under some rather unfortunate circumstances around here.

Like you said, we had a good run. Thanks for all of your efforrs!

For your enjoyment, in honor of the Gipper and the Mittster:

Obsession, pride, and the irresistible urge to gloat. All these things are grown out of sooner or later. Maybe.

Pot meet Mr. Kettle. Some of these nuts were calling Romney the anti Christ. So F’n palllleeeeze.

I’ve not delved into it, but the following forum has been recommended to me:
