Why Does Every Thread (apparently) Start with an ant-Romney Ad? (a vanity post, but sincere)

Let me be clear: I don't like Romney. I wouldn't vote for Romney. I hope he never runs for President, and if he tries, I hope he never gets the nomination. In other words -- I don't like Romney!

However, -- I am tired of having to scroll past an anti-Romney ad as the #1 entry on every article lately.

Why does every post start with an anti-Romney ad? As far as I know, he isn't even running for anything right now.

In fact, why should every article begin with an anti-Anyone ad?

I've always considered most Freepers to be very objective and fair-minded.

Has FreeRepublic turned into a one-trick pony? (DestroyRomneyDestroyRomneyDestroyRomney...etc.)

It has become quite tiresome. Could someone please tell me why FreeRepublic is doing this?

Jim Robinson, are you aware that this is happening?

Thank you.

I’ve never understood how a thinking adult can believe that torches, pitchforks and clubs will bring people to your side or win an election.

Then again, it reminds me of a child “acting out” so maybe it isn’t so adult.

[novemberslady]

Jim “runs” the website. It is not “his” website.

Is that right?

So, is The Huckster a RINO? A JUANnabie?

It's a simple two question test.

Some people just can’t understand that complaining about a silly ad campaign against a candidate we will not support is not expressing support for said candidate.

You are either with us or against us, what can't you understand about that ?

[WayneS]

I thought THAT went without saying...

[staytrue]

We would do better to SUPPORT candidates that promote freedom, prosperity, and security (foreign and domestic) instead venting vitriol against one person.

VITRIOL, WE NEED MORE VITRIOL !!!!

I disagree. I think it is guys like you who are blind. You’re like the global warming nuts going around trying to push everyone onto new light bulbs before it’s economically feasible.

You want what you want RIGHT NOW. You want everyone to abandon Sarah Palin and think like you NOW. Not 5 minutes from now, but NOW NOW NOW! And everyone who doesn’t is a knuckle-dragging troglodyte.

As I said earlier on this thread, my support for Palin isn’t unconditional. And she still has some McCain stench left on her that I really want to see washed off.

Others, who you think are blind ‘Palinistas’ are probably just sick of you posting vanity threads based on media crapola or obviously biased nonsense from slimy Romney supporters.

Of course, maybe they ARE blind. If they continue to support Palin after she decides to support something like Romneycare, then we’ll know you were right.

Until then, you’re just urinating windward.

lol...

I kinda figured people stopped trying to use “reverse psychology” when the target aged beyond 6 years old.

Find another web site to frequent and post your dull observations. This site isn’t going to change or “moderate” to your liking or the liking of the socialists in the GOP, including Romney. We are agnostic in our opposition to socialists and Marxists. We WILL target ALL of them no matter what party they happen to be infesting, which unfortunately, is both the major parties.

Dingy Harry is a Mormon.

As outlined above, I think a Mormon is unlikely to be elected POTUS in the near future due to (unfounded) fear of Mormonism from both the anti-religious Left and Fundamentalist Christians.

[McGruff]

The self inflicted blindness of Palinistas is truly breathtaking to behold. And that’s what’s scary.

Nobody is forcing you to stay here. Me, I haven't been this enthused about a republican candidate since Ronald Reagan. Maybe that's what's scaring you.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

It seems you have enough for all of us.

Romneybot on the wire......

[WayneS]

You’re right. The correct term is probably marxism.

#1) FROM each according to his ability (tax those who work to make money but STILL make them buy their own insurance).

#2) TO each according to his need (use the taxes from #1, above, to provide “free” health insurance to those who don’t work and make money).

Thank you for the correction.

"We WILL target ALL of them no matter what party they happen to be infesting, which unfortunately, is both the major parties."

So, do you think The Huckster is a RINO and a JUANnabie or not?

[staytrue]

I don’t come here for liberal open-mindedness.

I see you are an ECHO CHAMBER CONSERVATIVE. The only thing you like is to hear what you say, echoed back to you. Ok, I'll play.

I DON'T COME HERE FOR LIBERAL OPEN MINDEDNESS EITHER (and I want a pony for Chrismas)

[Jim Robinson]

Because a couple hundred thousand people per day get a chance to see it.

Thanks,

Jim

For you, he can be whatever you want him to be. You can change the lyrics to all your favorite obama tunes to worship your huckster. I don’t care.

If you genuinely wanted my opinion, you could have simply asked. Instead, you attributed opinions to me that bore no resemblance whatsoever to anything I had discussed, then browbeat me to confirm or deny your accusation.

[GQuagmire]

Well put.

I don’t like threads to start with anything except the topic of the thread. I took my location off because every thread started with some Texas stuff I wasn’t interested in.

I’m especially sick of the Romney thing. Romney is only mentioned in some polls because he’s a known quantity.

He is NO THREAT and will never be a serious candidate. Anyway, we get it.

Please stop.
