Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-America, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-religious freedom, pro-economic freedom, etc, etc, etc. We support conservative government and conservative candidates. RINOs need not apply and will be thoroughly exposed and run out of Dodge!!
Hope this helps.
I will crawl over a glacier to vote for Sarah or any other obstacle.
I doubt you wil have to crawl over a glacier but we may have to step by, or through a black panther, acorn, or union jackass.
Not from Phili..live close to this town!!!

....and there's cluster of very confused Pub members there if they truly believe for one second that Romney is a viable nominee for President.
He is not. Game Over.
I don’t see why the switch from “conservatives” to “RINOS”. There are Republicans that are not conservative, that we won’t support, but who are clearly REPUBLICANs. If they pretend to be conservatives, we could clearly say they were “Conservatives in Name Only”, or CINOs.
And as you have said before, this is NOT a Republican site, but a conservative site, so it makes sense that there would be little support here for any non-conservative republicans.
My only argument is with the suggestion that only conservatives can be Republicans. THere are clearly republicans like DeDe who were not really republicans, but democrats pretending to be republicans because it improved their election chances.
But there are also clearly dozens of republicans who are moderate at best, but who in their districts would never win a vote from the Democrats, because they are clearly on the republican side of the ledger.
I certainly don’t think Free Republic should support Republicans who are not conservatives; but Free Republic isn’t a Republican web site, it’s a conservative web site.
SO in fact, I would say that the Free Republic creed is more restrictive than you said — where you said “RINOs need not apply”, I think it’s “Moderates and liberals need not apply”, which would include Republicans who were not conservative.
I would argue against making the Republican party a purely conservative party; but not against Free Republic being a purely conservative web site.
Romney is a pro-choice, pro-Government-run Health Care, RINO, who needs to pull up his Mormon, chastity underwear and get the hell out of politics.
