JIM ROBINSON AS THE NEW JOSEPH FARAH - STABBING THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN THE BACK [Re:Giuliani]

The tone of the debate and the attacks on long-time fellow Freepers for the cardinal sin of daring to support Rudy Giuliani in early 2007 around here have really saddened me. Instead of fighting the enemy FR is now imposing an 'ideological purity' test on FR members. The well-oiled train has gone off the rails and Mr. Robinson risks becoming the next Joe Farah - a fellow who started a great website for conservative news and opinions, but who gradually drifted off to la-la land, losing all credibility - and readership - in the process.

He has set himself squarely in the Internet media spotlight, doused himself with gasoline, and and lighted himself on fire - a fact that has not escaped the attention of the left-wing lunatics at Daily Kos. Their reporting on what has been going on at FR is perhaps the first factually true account published on their site.

Jim, if that quote of yours about setting up an organization to 'Swiftboat Rudy' is accurate as quoted in their article, the only thing I have to say to you is that you ought to be ashamed of yourself, as you have now become the back-stabber of the conservative cause.

If you wish to marginalize this site by turning it into a narrow "several-issue" forum, that is your right. Just as it is my right to choose to not participate here any longer.

But you will be disappointed if you think that the crude, illiterate "goon squad" you have allowed free rein around here (dmw, narses, dirtboy, extremely extreme extremist, ReaganMan and several others - if I have slighted anyone, please email me if you want onto this list) will elevate the level of intellectual debate.

The result has been predictably in the other direction. That is what happens when you hire a bunch of brown shirts to enforce your own brand of political correctness.

Well, guess what? Politics is 99% BS and one can quite nicely live one's life without the need to bloviate about it. I know how I am going to vote. I could care less about anyone else. Life is too short to waste my time around here when I am clearly one of those made to feel like they are not welcome.

So, go ahead Jim -

MAKE MY DAY. BAN ME. I DARE YOU.

ROFLMAO ....

Hope your cell is padded!

Giuliani is pro gun control and pro choice and pro gay rights. Go, Jim Robinson!!

I don’t think JR means to cut off pro Giuliani supporters here on FR but he doesn’t have to like it, either.

[Tribune7]

I see a lot of Rudy support too.

He has some good points but I have this feeling that if he should win he'd wind up treating conservatives like he did wives 1 and 2.

[Afronaut]

I still can't believe that the rest of the Rudy supporters have not got the hint yet. Like h-e-l-l-o ???, ya think that 91% of this site give a crap about a Liberal running for President? Still think this is an RNC site eh?

Oh snap. Your host is sleeping in a chair and you want to watch the end of Saturday Night Live? With Alec Baldwin as the host & Sheryl Crow as the music ....

No runs, no hits, one error.

Yer out at the ole ball game.

Rudy is a liberal but not only a liberal.. he is a liberal that agrees with Hitlery Clinton on most issues.. also he agrees with Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Barney Frank..

As a republican that makes him a poseur, a phony, a fake, a shill, a mole, and very probably a stealth traitor..

AL; In New York City he can pass as a republican, but in reality he cannot..

[Mike Bates]

I don't want Rudy as the Republican nominee. If, by some miracle, he gets it, then I'll have to consider voting for him as the only realistic alternative to the 'Rat. Heaven knows I've had to hold my nose and stomach to vote for some Republicans in the past.

What do you think, Leni?

[Centurion2000]

Nice one.

[hosepipe]

[ Rudy is the magnet you can use to trap all RINOs and get rid off them. ]

LoL....

[Centurion2000]

Nice one.

[freeperfromnj]

Now it just shows that you either have no faith in conservatism or don't like it.

I have faith in conservatism but when you take a realistic look at the possible list of GOP candidates (governors, senators, and congressmen) who are true conservatives - why is it that we can only come up with McCain, Romney, Gingrich, etc.? I would have been a strong supporter of Santorum but we all know how that turned out..... Show me the conservatives!

[SlowBoat407]

Getting mad, picking up your ball, and going home will insure one thing - The Conservative Movement will falter and socialists like Hillary Clinton will ru(i)n this country.

Bloomberg is a failed Democrat turned RINO.

We have many such failed Democrats.

[dirtboy]

Oh, man, no thumbs? What’s gonna separate you from the animals now?

For sure it ain't his brain.

[Smogger]

On the other hand, I agree that there is a great deal or rabid disagreement with those who are not “ideological purists”. But, that seems to be the nature of modern debate.

There is nothing more brutal then inter-ideological warfare.

[READINABLUESTATE]

The self-imposed exile doesn’t seem to be working very well.

[dirtboy]

Rudy is a liberal wolf in conservative clothing.

Perhaps if he's only wearing a pair of womens thong panties.

Last I checked, wolves in drag dress up as Grandma, not Marilyn Monroe.
