Goodbye Freerepublic...

I can tell that Freerepublic has started spiraling into hysteria similar to what I sensed around the 2008 election time.... I'll check back in in 2013 to see if things simmered down.

That he would do a 180 and suddenly begin to support Romney, putting the lie to everything he's said in the past? Really?? Simply put: Yes. Many, many FReepers have done that very same thing now that the numbers are turning out for Romney. Sadly the idea of conservatives having principles is, more and more, giving way to conservatives having a party affiliation.
I wish I was surprised by the number of "conservatives" who said just months or weeks ago that they couldn't support Romney but who now are. Even our side is turning squishy. To me, that's what disheartens me the most. We can't win if we don't bother to fight.

I wonder if they total reflects accidental double posts I'm sure it does. No two posts have the same number, even if they're duplicates.

its discourgaging isn't it....I hope the sheeple can pull themselves together to get rid of bamey, but heck, then these people can really complain for the following 4 yrs, when guns are taken away, national id cards implemented,silencing of conservative talk radio, and a forced draft, as well as continued subserviance to muslims, homosexuals, and illegals....
hey, maybe its their investment in righteous indigantion which can be so satisfying in a tyranny.
Then why would you be promoting a guy like Mitt Romney, a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal that the only thing inevitable about him, is that he guarantees an Obama re-election exactly because of this lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal record.
The media and Obama have treated Romney with kid's gloves. If God frowns on us and allows Romney to be our nominee, Obama and the media will use Romney's own record like a club upside his head, 24/7, to utterly destroy his candidacy.
Just a small part of Romney's record:

This is what I don't understand. I lurked here for three years, and I'm very well aware of Jim's longstanding opinion of Romney. It was made clear long ago. So what did these folks expect? That he would do a 180 and suddenly begin to support Romney, putting the lie to everything he's said in the past? Really?? Yep. I have no idea about the number of those FReepers, but several were under the mistaken thinking or emotion, that Jim would be ABO, and that's never going to be the case when it comes to Romney, and God bless him for it.
Everyone here should know precisely the principles upon which Free Republic was built and emphatically stands, and in turn, should easily see than Romney is the anathema to all.
Sorry to see them prematurely leave, given that the liberal, liar abortionist hasn't even successfully bought the nomination yet, but good to know that most were Party Firster's and not actually conservatives. The GOP-E counts on folks like them to rally 'round their moderate's every 4 years.
We did it in '08 because of Sarah Palin. NOT this year, provided they're successful. (Still praying and almost non-stop).
God bless and keep you!
