I really think, and I know people don’t like hearing this, but I don’t think the American people will give second thought to a Mormon as president, a Muslim maybe, but not a Mormon. I know it sounds biased.

Just checked your sign up date...I’m guessing since you joined in 2003, you weren’t around in 2000 or 2001....to have been aware of what was going on down in Florida as concerns FR. I recall seeing many of the threads though I myself hadn’t joined until later in 2001.

A man such as yourself can’t possibly be honorably employed, considering how much time you spend dragging on Romney.

I cannot conclude but that you are on the Establishment’s payroll.

Do you represent the agricultural industry?

I know you had them removed. I separate the difference between private, UNPAID and UNAFFILIATED posters that make up the bulk of FR versus those that are paid bots and shills of campaigns. I think ALL of those should be similarly removed from FR, no matter whom they are supporting. Why should we tolerate spam ?

Didn’t you “out” someone you thought was a Romney shill up thread?

If that’s what FR’s all about, why’d you do it?

McRino is a democrat with an R after his name.

I like the way you think (post). You remind me a lot of myself. Running around the house talking (sometimes screaming) at the tv.

No, I was here. My wife and I shared the same name from 2000 to 2003 before I created this one. I lurked for about two years prior to that and posted at the old Townhall message board.

What does that have to do with my stating that: You don’t pull the lever because of feeeeeelings, or because of how a candidate looks or dresses. Support should be absent “feelings” and based upon a candidates past actions, decisions, stances, alliances made, positions taken. Based on those things, Romney falls way short of being able to honestly state he is a conservative.

What do you walk in and vote like a mind numbed robot? Without feeeeeeeling anything? So because Ronald Reagan was once a democrat and he supported FDR in the 1930’s and 1940’s. He was the president of Screen Actor Guild in the 1950’s. He raised taxes in the 1960’s and 1970’s in California. Then I should have not voted for him in 1980 and 1984 for his past transgressions.

Someone who has the name "Mitt Romney," signed up in FR in October of 2007, and only posts with his "Mitt Romney for President," icon was a "case in point" backing my post not even a dozen posts earlier in response to YOUR comments about new sign ups. "Mitt Romney" draws attention to himself by having done that and thereby outted himself. WTH are you talking about?

McCain is the worst kind. He will stab you in the back when you are not looking!

We have paid staff members for all of the campaigns posting here. As well as paid staff members for most of the radio talkshow hosts, many of the print media outlets, and some of the cable and network news channels. I even remember a post from a paid staff member of the Bush administration trying to convince us that amnesty wasn't amnesty. I value all of their participation, whether they choose to remain anonymous or whether or not I agree with their positions or candidates. I give them credit for thinking the chattering masses on an internet forum are worthy of attention.
