Free Republic does not and will not support RINOS!! Not now!! Not ever!!

My day after Thanksgiving message | 11/26/200 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

Apparently there are still some posters on FR who are fast asleep. Wake up! Dammit! We are in the middle of a conservative rebellion! While you were sleeping we, along with millions of other freedom loving grassroots Americans have participated in hundreds of tea parties all across this great land and fully intend to keep it up until all of America is awake. We are fed up and mad as hell! We grassroots Americans are delivering a message to the ruling class: NO MORE!!

No more big government! No more high taxes! No more government bailouts! No more government takeovers! No government healthcare! No more corruption! No more global baloneyism!!

We're sick and tired of liberals and RINOs running roughshod over our God given Liberty!

We want our country back! We want our freedom back! We want it all back!!

No more socialism!!

Cut the taxes! Cut the spending! Cut the government!

Restore the constitutional limits on government! Restore our freedom!!

And not only no, but HELL NO to liberals and RINOS!!

Free Republic will not support RINOS!! Rudy McRomney, et al, can go straight to hell!!

The strategy is we win, they lose.

Any questions?

I repeat, this approach is completely wrongheaded. Jim Robinson is mad, which is great, but he is taking this site in the wrong direction.

Kinda like the wrong direction RINOs have taken the country?

[GeronL]

110% correct!

[Cedric]

I am NOT a Republican.

Duly noted.

And your opinions regarding the disposition of RINOs is discounted accordingly.

[BykrBayb]

Anyone who provides aid and comfort to the enemy is no ally of mine.

[drellberg]

“Also, notice that nobody is yelling anybody else down. The “go to hell” comment is a general attitude, and one which is expressed quietly.”

Ahem, perhaps you missed the original Jim Robinson post. That’s not yelling????? He is expressing himself quietly?

Hmmm ...

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

But, bottom line...no matter who WE consider to be RHINO’s or not...the GOP and it’s money will decide who the Republican’s CFR candidate is, like they did McCain...and, at that point, the more important question will be...what it will really come down to is....do we support that person, RHINO or NOT, because “at all costs Obama must be defeated”?

Good question, and I hope most here would - at this point - vote for McCain over Obama. We wouldn't still be waiting to see if the President will provide the troops needed in Afghanistan, we wouldn't have tax increases, we wouldn't have the stimulus bill, we wouldn't have the Obamacare nightmare, we wouldn't have the forgive-US tour going on worldwide, we wouldn't have Copenhagen (the new Kyoto), etc.

Our real enemy are socialists/marxists - the Obama wing of politics. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, even if he's not really in full alignment with my priorities.

[Cedric]

Nonsense.

This is not a Republican site. It is a grassroots CONSERVATIVE site.

[BykrBayb]

Maybe we should notify Jim Thompson of this Jim Robinson guy taking his site in the wrong direction.

[paulycy]

A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be.

But it may be the best possible solution in the real world.

Finding rationalizations for sitting out the entire war is known as cowardice. The enemy must be engaged, even at great risk.

Warriors know this already. They plan endlessly so that those chosen battles advance the prime goal - to win the war. We need winners who are prepared to fight, not snipe from the sidelines.

[DJ MacWoW]

People like you are the reason we got McCain. How'd that work for you?

And your opinions regarding the disposition of RINOs is discounted accordingly.

Oh and, this is a grassroots CONSERVATIVE site. NOT Republican.

[rintense]

And your opinions regarding the disposition of RINOs is discounted accordingly.

And your opinions regarding the acceptance of them is discounted accordingly- and likely a one way ticket elsewhere.

[Darksheare]

“No More RINOS” -Jim Robinson <=== Yeah, what he said!

[rintense]

Snickers. That damn Jim Thompson!

[American Constitutionalist]

" I repeat, this approach is completely wrongheaded. Jim Robinson is mad, which is great, but he is taking this site in the wrong direction. "

Ok, tell him that yourself if you feel so strongly about it.

[who knows what evil?]

90 million eligible voters stayed home in 2008...if a CONSERVATIVE candidate could have harvested 10% of that total; Obama might not be in the White House right now. (Remember...many conservatives stayed home.)

[rintense]

Funny how even the most tenured freepers fail to grasp that fact.

[Darksheare]

Perhaps you should read the FR mission statement.
Show me where in there it says “RINO”s.

[Cedric]

Precisely.

[Darksheare]

Then perhaps RINOs don’t fit in here.
