Probably because most freepers are disgusted with the republican party bigwigs who have forced Romney down our throats.
Betrayal after betrayal of the party base by the elite and getting to watch it daily from people like Rove and Morris have left most of us sick to death of the whole mess this year.
If Romney wins it will be without a huge chunk of the disgusted GOP base and because Obama stinks so badly dems will vote republican not because Romney is a good candidate.
The real drama the GOP has not factored in is the real possibility a 3rd party wises up and decides to become a real player and runs on the old Republican conservative platform, makes Romney out to be a dem in his voting and leadership, and puts up a real conservative Republican as their candidate.
The only thing the GOP has going for it at the moment is the total disgust at the other party's candidate and that is a real iffy prospect in the long run. No enthusiasm from your base means less foot soldiers and money and the prospect of them being easily picked off by another party.....THE STUPID PARTY BEING VERY STUPID once again. This was a sure thing coattail year if they had put up a conservative and now they are living off the other guy being more hated....not smart. The whole thing is disgusting to watch.

These are my sentiments exactly. I feel the GOP has spit in the face of conservatives by foisting a liberal like Romney to represent us. I am looking at this time for a party elsewhere to call home; one that genuinely desires to represent me. I've come across this :
http://www.constitutionparty.org/. Maybe it will interest you as well. There is also
America's Party whose candidate is a FReeper himself. I am intent on voting for someone that represents me in order to get out of this viscous cycle of voting for the lesser of two evils.
