YOU LIE and write INSULTING FALSEHOODS HERE as do most Romney supporters on Free Republic. Attributing to "hatred" and calling their posts "vitriol" has, over the past many years I've read and participated in Romney threads (along with many other FReepers who know what a dangerous force Romney truly is to our freedom and the GOP's future), is RARELY DONE by we sensible folks who try to point out to Romney supporters why Romney is bad news for the GOP. THAT IS THE TRUTH, Flaglady, and you know full well that "hatred" and "vitriol" are signature accusations tossed BY Romney supporters, not AT them. But you are held hostage because you engage in LIES and even believe them.
You give it away in your post just now -- you call us "irrational antagonists." There is zero that is "irrational" about pointing out Romney's track record of EVERY TIME calling for more and bigger government as the solution to perceived problems. There is zero "irrational" about pointing out that Romney has made it crystal clear that he would REMOVE our right to peacefully and morally discriminate against open homosexuality in our midst, down to preventing an openly gay man from being the Scout Master of a Boy Scout Troop. There is zero "irrational" about pointing out the dismal aftermath of Romney's reign in Massachusetts.
Anyone that considers such reasons for rejecting Romney "irrational" is a fool whose words here should be dismissed FREELY, hence the truth setting us free. Furthermore, when this same fib-telling fool disses Palin ... it makes me think Palin must be pretty good.
Done hyperventilating yet?
