The choice of Paul Ryan, and the reaction, finally got me off the donation sideline.
I just donated to the Romney-Ryan campaign. And in case you were wondering, maxed out. For the first time in my adult life I was proud to do so.
It’s not just about Romney-Ryan, it’s about who we are up against:

#Teaparty forced @MittRomney to pick @RepPaulRyan and killed 2 birds with one stone for #Democrats. It cost #GOP the WH and the House #p2

The blaring intro music for Romney and Paul Ryan is f**king ridiculous. Baggers love that nonsense. #tcot #p2

You can DONATE HERE.
Update:This tweet was removed from the embed because, as pointed out in the comments, I apparently didn’t get that it was sarcastic. That happens sometimes, as we know. Scrolling through her tweets, she’s actually quite conservative and quite humorous, including this one:

Go back to what? 4% unemployment? An annual budget? AAA credit rating? Less debt? #CountMeIn RT @BarackObama: Romney-Ryan: The Go Back Team.

Also, The first race card has been played against Paul Ryan.
Finally! A Romney hater who is also a realist who is willing to fight to give this Nation at least a chance of slowing down the rush towards the abyss. I'm with you and will even dontae to Romney if it comes to that to keep him viable.
TO ALL WHO THREATEN TO SIT OUT THE VOTE THIS YEAR:
Better people than you fought and died to secure your right to vote for the person of your choice. Failing to exercise your civic responsibility is a slap in the face for all those who made the supreme sacrifice.
You and your buddy were running down us "purists," i.e. us Constitutional Conservatives who refuse to reward the crooked, corrupt GOP-E by holding our noses (once again) and voting for lesser evils. There's no walking that back now.
Don't hold your breath. Romney is not Reagan and has been caught in enough lies and flip-flops over the years on all the key Conservative issues that nothing he says can be believed.
So Free Republic is a government entity chilling your 1st Amendment rights now?
That's weak.
You apparently haven't gotten the memo. As California governor, RR signed a bill allowing abortions in CA, he signed a "Tax increase to balance the budget", and he was a member of the GOPe. This makes him a "baby killing abortionist RINO tax and spender". No other position is tolerated.
I know why, he's an adolescent cry-baby whiner trying to get you banned.
Was this a FReeper Twitter feed? I know I’ve read very similar stuff here.
Some people prefer the heavy hand of Obama. I do not.
Yep. Now he’s back at it on the Sarah thread....pinging Jim.
Our ONLY option now is to get rid of the marxist in the white hut...along w/ his conspirators.
After 2010, we knew it would take several elections, perhaps a generation or 2 to get America back on track. Why some people are allowing their PRIDE to force them to not vote R&R is beyond me.
Oh please. You’re just a little butt kissing tattle telling troll trying to get REAL FReepers banned.
I’ve seen you on other threads, pinging to Jim, “telling” on them.
Perhaps you are just a troll trying to cause trouble here on FR.
The lesson that the GOP will probably learn from your scenario, is that it needs to jettison purists once and for all.
A drowning man has no use for a life raft that only inflates if it likes the temperature of the water.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine; In memoria æterna erit justus, ab auditione mala non timebit.
Beauseant!
I don’t understand your last sentence. Could you translate for me....please? =)
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine; In memoria æterna erit justus, ab auditione mala non timebit.
If you can't rely on something at the precise moment that you need it the most, because that thing that you need to rely on is only reliable when the circumstances suit it, then get rid of it.
If the GOP realizes that "purists" will only supprt the GOP when the Party's candidates meet their test, then it may be best to not count on them at all.
Beauseant!
Thank you. That is one of the truest statements I have heard since, well, Paul Ryan’s speech yesterday!
Before that, it has been eons! =)
“No other position is tolerated.”
Soooooooooo...you’re saying Free Republic is not a free forum? That would be kinda ironic. I don’t think there is anyone here more conservative than I am. What’s the requirement for membership now? And why is voting to keep a Marxist out of office offensive?
Do you really think I needed a /sarc ?
Nope.
You're the one voting for Romney, troll. Go look in a mirror.
