well if you support a gun grabbing, baby killing liberal then what are you doing on FR? there are other forums for that.

Oh, you're saying this forum should be purged of everyone that doesn't fall into line with you foaming at the mouth Romney haters?

If that happens, I guess the traffic here will slow down by a good 90% or so, huh?

but the signal to noise ratio would improve tremendously

"I don’t think Ronald Reagan was ever a liberal.

He stated many times that he did’t leave the Democratic party, the democratic party left him."

You are absolutely correct. Reagan was a democrat not a liberal. He certainly was never anything like these liberals today. I usually have to explain this over and over again to Romney's people. They just can't seem to understand that candidates back then, not even the democrats, got as liberal as Romney did up in Massachusetts. Trying to excuse their liberal candidate, they disparage Reagan and anyone else they can think of to try to help Romney's judgment appear better.

Well that, and his conversion to conservatism didn’t happen a year and a half before he ran for president. If Romney had gone through his big transformation 20 years ago and since then had a consistent conservative record - it would be a totally different situation.

I agree.

I want to know, do some of you think that because the owner of this site says something that it carries more weight or it is going to be more influential or likely you think more intimidating to others?

The fact that it was a quote from JimRob in not significant. Truth stands on it's own no matter who proclaims it. The intent is not to intimidate but offer mutual support and give other Freepers food for thought.

“That’s one thing the McCains don’t worry about.”

That’s true, the McCains don’t have to worry, we do. The last thing I want is John McInsane’s finger on the button.

[calcowgirl]

From the 1:52 minute mark forward, he is right on!

He doesn’t want the U.S. putting caps on itself and regulating itself out of business (as McCain and Huckabee would have us do), while Russia, China, India, etc. grow unabated building new coal power plants every week.

I don’t want another WTO, either. Nor did Romney advocate any such thing.

...defeated Rudy because he was a gun grabbing, baby killing liberal and...

Romney will be next.

...as well, that may happen, but, not without a lot of us doing all we can to prevent it from happening for the hope of America's future.

I appreciate the sincerity of your answer...although, I’m not sure that others that practice this have your purity of motive.

[SolidWood]

I’m an Evangelical and I loathe Huckabee and support (since Fred left) Romney.

If McCain is President, it will make the third military aviator in the last three Presidents, and the second Naval aviator.

[Leisler]

Flying combat off a carrier off the coast of Viet Nam vs walking the wild streets of fwance.

Yeah, that’s about equal.

[Coldwater Creek]

Cindy, I had to take a couple of weeks break from Free Republic, because of the vitriol.

A lot of these “conservatives” are just plain ignorant and untrained in manners.

Not a Huckabee supporter, just a defender when needed.

[Coldwater Creek]

Hmmmmmm! Why don’t you find out the whole truth about this very old story, instead of just repeating what you think it is?

[Coldwater Creek]

As the wife of a Naval aviator, I won’t be doing any bragging about McCain’s service or disservice to our country.

I know what a REAL HERO is, and McCain is only a survior at best.

[Philly Nomad]

You mean like how we lost control of the country after 1986?

[Edward Watson]

I’m sorry, I wasn’t talking to you or referring to you or even referring to those who won’t vote for Romney in general.

I was referring specifically to JRochelle, who has consistently demonized and misrepresented the beliefs of Mormons here on Free Republic for quite some time.

Frankly, I find the actions of anti-Mormons like JRochelle verging on the obsessive. It is amazing at how much time and effort they put into demonizing Mormons. They just can’t seem to stop or get on with their lives.

As an American citizen we all have a right to worship the god of our choice. I only ask that you stop scaring old ignorant folks out of their SS dollars to buy a Rolex or build a mega church.

[Polybius]

Mitt is unelectable for many many reasons that have nothing to do with his religion. My mom isn't a political junkie but she doesn't trust him just from his performance in the debates. There is that intuition that he just appears to be shady, that he is trying to sell a used car.

I am shocked, shocked that you would imply that Mitt Romney is not totally sincere when he takes a position in a debate.

Romney trying to be more liberal than Ted Kennedy when he seeks liberal Massachusetts votes

Romney on gun control when he seeks liberal Massachusetts votes

Romney on abortion

You can assure you Mom that, if her positions match the positions of the voters that Romney currently wants to court, he will back her position 110% until he wants to court the voters who think otherwise.
