Not really any of my business, I guess (though when did that ever stop a FReeper? LOL), but I think the comment you took as accusing you of supporting Romney was a general comment on the article, not an ad hominem attack.

No. It was an ad hominem attack accusing me (and a few others) of supporting Romney. Here's the telling line..

"You bots stay on that cruise to ambivalence aboard the SS Romney 2012"

Some people who have blind devotion for a particular candidate can't quite grasp the fact that criticism of their "hero" is just that criticism, and not the work of some secret Romney cabal.

You'd be wrong about that. The comment in question was a case of cross-thread stalking, directed to those of us who are unimpressed by Sarah Palin's qualifications.

For some reason, there's a group of morons who equate "unimpressed with Palin" with "Romney supporter." Their behavior is, unfortunately, a good example of the current state of political discourse at FR and elsewhere.

Precisely,

OldDeckHand and I have been engaged in numerous conversations on the Palin topic. I know that he is not a Romney bot, but I wanted to include him in the conversation because he has reservations about Palin’s policy accumen. Steve-b and Reaganaut on the other hand, are definitely romney-bots, with Steve-b leading his own personal crusade to post every single specious lie and rumor about Sarah Palin that he can find. I also resent the implication that support for Palin is worship. I worship the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. My support for Palin is because she represent the charisma, character, and will to do to this government what needs to be done. Pare it down, restore it to its Constitution bounds, and get it out of this Politically Correct/devoid of Common Sense policy making mentality.

EVERYONE else I see on our side is a go with the flow person who just wants some small changes to programs and tax policy.
