Romney says Brown can ‘make history’

Mitt Romney - that rare political breed, a Republican elected statewide in Massachusetts - told supporters yesterday that if Scott Brown can pull off a similar feat next month in the US Senate special election, it “would shock the country and send a strong message that business as usual in Washington is coming to an end.’’

“He would bring badly-needed fiscal restraint to an out-of-control budget process that is adding trillions of dollars to our national debt,’’ said Romney, the former Bay State governor who gives every indication he’s preparing a second presidential bid in 2012.

Your attribution of bigoted motives to Romney opposition is bullshit. Pure and simple.

I have seen/heard a few honest bigots admit that their hostility was, at least in part, religious. I believe I acknowledged that other conservatives oppose him strictly on ideological grounds. If you are not guilty there is no need to squeal so loud.

I don't know who you think you are to speak for "a majority of freepers" but I find your insulting and intimidating remarks contemptible. I am aware that the management of this site dislikes Romney, but I am not aware that sincere conservatives are required to be in lockstep with that opinion. I think you are a little carried away with your righteous certainty, my friend. I really don't think I need to give it another thought.

You find his remarks insulting? How about yours?

"But I always find myself defending Romney without ever getting around to giving his record a hard look. And that is because those against him are so nasty and hysterical. Perhaps some despise him for purely legitimate ideological reasons. But most conservatives who are fiercely against him are motivated, I'm afraid, by religious bigotry. I have no patience with it."

You need to learn something about your man Romney, before you start insulting conservatives here at FR.

If what I posted is pushing Gov. you have a reading comprehension problem.

It's your problem, my friend. While you are 'trying' to appear neutral, you have failed miserably.

God Bless. .....courage from the Good Lord.

Coming to a conservative site to push your RINO agenda is deception. Reminder: God hates deception - think about that the next time you use His name.

I did not direct my remarks specifically at freepers but generally at those in the conservative community who are most vitriolic in their opposition. I’m sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable.

I really don't think I need to give it another thought.

That's one theory.

[ansel12]

You are making those anti conservative remarks in defense of Mitt Romney, on the world’s leading conservative forum, and you are directing them at the conservatives (freepers) that you are in conversation with. No one is more anti Romney that freerepublic are they? You just signed up recently, so I assume you checked out our politics before wanting to join, did you think that maybe you can fix us, and make us see Romney in a different light?

I’m sorry if your pro Romney efforts on FR are starting to make you feel uncomfortable here.

LIES do make conservatives uncomfortable. And they don't want to be associated with anyone that does. You got that?

Your DELIBERATENESS of saying conservatives are religious bigots as your cover for Mitt is the same liberal tactic used for Obama - if you don't vote for him, you are a racist. Take your crap and shove it! It doesn't work here, NEWBIE!

Let me be the first; don’t let the door hit your big ass on the way out.

You’re history.

Good post PNSN.
tic, tic, tic.

Get lost newbie.

[vox_freedom]

Mitt may be a RINO, but I’ll at least give him credit for not being so enthusiastic about p*ssing on conservatives like Juan McCain, his mini-me Lindsey Graham and Huckabee.

Comparing him to McPain, Graham and Huckabee ain't saying much or defending him.
just sayin'

[Diogenesis]

How many can say they sold out their voters on so much?

[RedStateDefender]

Well, with so many good freepers predicting my demise, I suppose I might as well just carry my "fat ass" on out the door, which I will be careful not to let hit me in the butt, yada yada, yada yada.

FR has a lot of activity, although nothing like it once had. But, as with all large crowds (although I definitely would not call it a "big tent," hee hee hee) you get a mix of people. To those with whom I have passed some pleasant chatter, I thank you and wish you the best. Ditto for those who disagreed with me but did not find it necessary to be disagreeable.

Unfortunately, the tone of the site is set by the owner who is a nasty, ill-educated, megalomaniacal piece of work. If so many of his fawning twits think I am about to get zotted, they are probably right. And I just hate it when the SOB pulls the plug on you and you don't even know it...I don't want to give him the sexual pleasure of power tripping me tonight. I know his record, I know that he is spittingly hostile to Romney and I know he is a brownshirt who has no taste for open discussion. Heck, he will even zot you for an opinion that used to be his own before he switched sides and started zotting in the other direction.

But, yes, you moronic groupies are right...he'd probably zot me when he got around to it. Just the thought of it reminds me that I don't really care to be here waiting until he feels the urge to use his great power.

Too bad this site has gone so far downhill. My apologies to you good people here who have not quite given up on it yet. It's really not for me.

Buh-bye now! ~~scurrying out so that darn door doesn't hit me back there~~

RETREAD!

He knows my heart and motives, he also knows yours, YOU think about that.

Oh, don't put yourself down like that...

Not all of us are morons and the site only goes downhill when people like you arrive and urge people to support RINO's and cause disruptions.

Since it is "he" who might feel the urge, I'll ping the owner to provide him the opportunity...

Bye now and take care.

He knows how much I hate evil/deception as much as He does. You seem to have a problem with that.

For a new sign up, you don't seem very enthusiastic about freerepublic.

GOOD WORK, Kitty!
