Say what you want, Onyx. It is a theory and I have a right to express it.
The comments by Santorum haters have been so over the top on Free Republic that to me, it is a reasonable theory.
It’s not the Santorum supporters who are acting inappropriately..It’s the Newties who are upset and angry that he is fading..and are lashing out at Rick FOR NO GOOD REASON, resorting to name calling and vicious attacks that have no basis.
I have a friend who was connected to the Romney campaign who told me that they are authorized to do whatever they have to do to win. With that in mind, to invade blogs and create chaos would be possible.
Romney was hated by his opponents in ‘08 for similar tactics and reasons. This man has not an ounce of honor in his makeup.
Have you seen some of the ads that Mittens has run to attempt to destroy the other candidates?
I would put NOTHING past him and his minions.
Our site is not exclusive. It’s open to all kinds of people, some who love to post anonymously because they can be more bold.
Some of the posters on FR have contributed to the most ridiculous, immature bashing contest imaginable. We don’t have that much power. We can only do our small part. The results are then out of our hands.
The Presidency is only one third of the equation. If we feel powerless, then we need to ask ourselves what we can do to make a difference instead of complaining and becoming bitter. Keeping the Congress and taking back the Senate..two hugely important tasks to focus on.
To be able to identify Conservatives in our states, locally and statewide, and contribute time and energy to their efforts.
That’s what grassroots volunteer activism is.
And no, I’m not a troll and you and the other regular Freepers know that.
I’m a patriot and lover of all things America!
Thanks very much, you did and I did too, just like CatherineofAragon in her reply to you.
Nobody called you a troll and I sure didn't. You didn't say the Romney invasion was a "theory" of yours. IIRC, you said you were told.
I have seen nasty posts and vicious attacks from supporters of Santorum's too, but you didn't mention those. It's always the same: it depends on whose ox is being gored.
Of course, I've seen Romney's ads. He first used his vicious attack ads on Newt Gingrich beginning in Iowa. Nothing is beneath Romney. He's ruined this primary for everyone except the GOP-E and lamestream that support him.
Be well.
Mary, I have no doubt you’re a patriot and that you love America. I haven’t been here that long, but you and I have had only friendly dealings with one another, and I hope that continues.
I agree that NOTHING is too low for Romney, and I believe that his people will do anything to win. And I believe he knows it and sanctions it. But the idea that Newt supporters, by definition, are Romney operatives, is just, well, silly. I readily admit I wish Newt was doing better-—it makes me sick that he isn’t. And I wish Santorum supporters would drop Rick and get behind Newt, because I think Newt is by far the best man for the job. But I don’t think you all are closet Romney supporters for not doing so.
If in doubt about a person, usually a search of their posting history is a very good clue, IMO.
Onyx, thank you for the ping.
