Of course, there's another side to that. Sometimes posts here are somewhat extreme, but the moderators seem to do a good job taking care of those.
My preferred candidate in this election was Herman Cain. Imagine my chagrin as I basically found out he's a serial ... well, douche and philanderer.
I still think he's brilliant.
Conservatives really didn't have a dog in the race. I think that many prospective candidates didn't bother because they felt Obama would be unbeatable and they didn't want the media proctology exam that they would be subject to.
I didn't post much, but I watched as people here tore each other a new one over things that they shouldn't have. The difference between Bachmann and Santorum wasn't that much, but freepers got in fights about it.
The Paulbots are a different breed, but Paul (aside from being like Jeff Dunham's Norman puppet) has some good ideas.
It seemed, though, that people here just got MAD.
I understand. Obama...to put it nicely... is a turd with sharp cutting edges.
We all know what he is and what we are facing... but it turned around in 2010 and it did so because Tea Partiers and conservatives made their voices heard. Some democrats JOINED us.
I think those people are still out there. That's what Mitt has to fear. He needs to assure voters that he supports conservative fiscal ideals.
But Mitt will also win over some middle and middle left people.
It's a shame that people will be ripping each other apart over this. Honestly...we can't do that anymore. It's over. It is time for the 11th commandment.
WE CANNOT SURVIVE FOUR MORE YEARS OF an OBAMA THAT FEARS NOTHING.
A man that fabricated his book. A man that has STOLEN VALOR from the Navy Seals for the sake of his campaign.
So...we all contact Romney and make our expectations known and we fight for conservative Congressmen/women and Senators where we are.
Hopefully, Free Republic becomes a place, again, where everyone can speak their mind and not be jumped on for recognizing the reality that Romney is going to be the nominee.
I honestly love this place and the people I have become close to.
Let's roll.
What you said.
I agree with your observations regarding the tone of many posts. And I also was a Herman Cain supporter. But I won’t vote for Romney.
Put your asbestos suit on.

It’s tough to UN ring a bell.

?Well, after eewading that whole thing, at least you’re paying to post it. Pay another $25 and I’ll read it again.
Bump for truth and sanity. Thank you.
You mean we gotta pay extra to make a pro romney post??
“My preferred candidate in this election was Herman Cain. Imagine my chagrin as I basically found out he’s a serial ... well, douche and philanderer”
Remeber, you were told this by the MSM. Was there ever any
proof?
I’ve decided to take the following approach with those who tell me that letting an unrestrained marxist win is better for my country than a Romney win, to laugh to myself and remember there are also folks who say some of the most vile things on youtube when a video of puppies appear.
But Mitt will also win over some middle and middle left people.
Romney is either a conservative or not. Nothing in Romney's past shows that those middle/middle left voters will be disappointed in him. Conservatives, on the other hand, will be proved to be fools once again.

I hate Romney. Enough is enough. I will not vote for the extremely conservative fraud.
No offense meant to you, for I believe you are well intentioned (by the way, it’s $25, NOT 25$....such things bug the hell out of me).
Vote for whoever the hell you WANT to vote for, people. Vote Romney. Vote the a**hole Obama, if you’re stupid enough. It’s YOUR vote.
I’m sick of these threads already.
Bless you, friend.
If you don’t take a stand on what it right then and evil smog will envelope you. The left has been playing the conservatives in this way for year. Welcome to today. We are here because good people thought that they should just get along with destructive and Evil ideas.
Best posted sentence since his pretense has been elected!
