Such an incredible post I don't know where to begin!
Of course that has yet to ever stop me...
First, I assume by your “VILE” comment you have taken me up on my offer to take credit for Diogenesis posts as well.
Most Excellent!
I also can deduce that your definition of “VILE” is “Posting links to documented facts and direct quotes that dispute your unthinking and illogical “Kool Aide” acceptance of Romney's so called “Conservative” Creds and stances”
By your definition may I be the “VILEST” person you come to know, for I WILL NOT go blindly into the night for expediencies sake or to make anyone happy.
Another thing I soooo enjoy on the Romney threads is the irony. My FRiend your post is a full day's supply of my favorite commodity.
First you regale us with a post about your run in with the Teamster thugs, something for which I commend you for.
YET...
You in turn have, and have for some time behaved in an equally ugly way in the digital world on FR, the worlds largest CONSERVATIVE forum, demeaning and insulting what has proven to be, through various polls conducted here, the vast majority of Freepers for whom Mitt Romney was a choice of last resort AT BEST.
Intersting...
You tell us of your years of conservative service, your tireless efforts to support conservative causes, which again I commend, and understand that commitment given my almost 30 years of working numerous local and national campaigns (including running a few local ones) since I first was bitten by the bug as a young 16 year old during Reagan's first run in 1980.
YET...
You complain abut being "harassed" here on Freerepublic, the largest and best CONSERVATIVE site on the WWW for almost 9 years. That is not something I have heard of before and not something I find to be normally associated with Conservative activities except perhaps when one is off the reservation in some way, and that only comes in response normally, not in some proactive form, to the words of the so called "victim". Suffice to say it is "suspicious" at best...
Another YET to the fact above, you seem to almost blindly support Mitt, and I have yet to really see ANY admission that he has had serious issues in the past despite whatever he says now. It would be one thing to say "he's changed" he has "seen the light" but many of his team act as if the sum total of his ENTIRE political career is nothing but a duplication of his words and a few actions over the past 18-24 months. It is as of "pre presidential run" Mitt never existed.
Pragmatism and reality are hallmarks of the Conservative way.
Anyways a last few thoughts. If the opportunity ever arises for my personal life to be the subject of anything, so be it, it is rather dull though accomplished. And I do not hate Romney, indeed I voted for him in the last FR poll, and would have at the polls if need be. But I refuse to cheer lead those I don't fully trust until it is the last resort, and even then I am willing to take my lumps to stand my ground.
I also have no desire to silence you or anyone one. Indeed quite the opposite, I would campaign to keep the "Team Romney" folks active here on FR if it ever got down to a "Rudy" like purge. Now don't go getting mushy on me, thinking that I am being all fair and stuff, actually I want you guys here for purely selfish reasons. See I have found that when it comes to opposing Mitt, as a group, you Romney supporters are our best asset, our most effective team members. So keep up the good work...
You have no respect for people who sacrificed a great deal to protect the first amendment and stood up to some nasty people on the left for a very long time to do it or who have done much in their lives for the movement and conservative candidates. You should be thankful and grateful and saying so. Posters like you are undeniably an enemy within.
Not surprising coming from a poster who is obsessed with hatred for Mitt Romney, who has done much to build conservatism, while you and you despicable group do everything you can to tear it down.
You use the same Saul Alinsky tactics to shut people up as the left does. Such tactics have been used on myself and my brother by the left personally, so I am well familiar with them.
Buh-bye, Evan. You and your group are a colossal waste of time. You can say whatever you want to say. And people can choose to ignore you. That will be my tactic of choice in the future.
