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

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

[wagglebee]

Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

BTTT!

[JerseyDvl]

Cedric represents the group of R’s that have led us down this path. The Rino supporters are as bad as the idiot politicians they defend.

[MestaMachine]

Four words:
Jim Jeffords
Arlen Specter

[Cedric]

Bad analogy.

When self-professed conservative FReepers start demanding that (to cite just one example) Connie Mack (FL) be run out of the GOP solely on the basis of who he's married to, they have become totalitarianesque, indeed.

That's not what true conservatives do

[rintense]

It is totalitarianism, not conservatism which is associated with purges and “a one way ticket elsewhere”.

Jim, please give us all an early Christmas present and show this fool to the land of Zot.

“Dems are smart they don’t let perfection become the enemy of the good.”

Dukakis? Marxist

Gore? hard core left.

[Darksheare]

Yeah, tell me about it.
And they whine when it gets pointed out that there isn’t any meaningful difference between them and liberals.
It is truly hard for me to be polite to Rinos.

[rintense]

Imagine my utter shock and outrage when my sister said KSM should have been turned over to the world court.

[Cedric]

I’ll take your word for it.

[paulycy]

Bad analogy.

I stand by it.

Is this Connie Mack thing something that happened on FR? And does it have anything whatsoever to do with the general notion of allowing non-Conservatives to waste our time and bandwidth with incessant and unproductive cat fights?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

What’s that got to do with anything?

[Darksheare]

Ah.. so what is a true conservative in your mind?
One who supports liberal ideas and RINOs?

[sneakers]

Oh BOY do I agree!!!

Thanks for that Jim!

[rintense]

Some who puts this: (R) before principles. That’s Cedric’s idea of a true conservative.

[NoLibZone]

Which one ran against Obama?

Is everyone happier with Obama/Ayers than McCain/Palin?

Or Romney / anybody?

Or even nut bag Paul ?

[Darksheare]

Obviously, considering how upset they are over the fact that RINOs are endangered.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

I would be willing to live and let live.

Which is why the Government should simply get out of the marriage business. But the "equal protection under the law" clause - the 14th Amendment - is pretty hard to overcome.

And I could go on and on, but Conservative values are pretty straight across the board. To paraphrase a federal judge, I don’t know the definition of pornography, but I know it when I see it.

Am I a conservative, according to your vision? And how do you actually communicate your position and views, then? How do we (if I am a conservative in your view) recruit more people to the conservative cause?

[Restore]

Agreed!

[MestaMachine]

“You do not have a clue how to advance an agenda. You’re willing to shoot from the hip and hope to heck you hit something.”
“You consider RINOs a bigger threat than Dimocrats and I think you’re nuts!!!”

I say again.
Arlen Specter
Jim Jeffords

If you need me to ‘splain it to ya, no hope for ya.

Hence, the graphic. Same diff.

What did calling us nuts have to do with anything?

[Cedric]

Connie Mack

Conservative rating by The American Conservative Union:

2008: 100

Lifetime: 91.00

And how ‘bout those “conservative” FReepers who wanted Chris Smith (NJ) expelled fro the party?

Did they make ya proud?
