Purpose of FR and why we can never support Mitt Romney
vanity | Oct 15, 2011 | Jim Robinson

Edited on 10/15/2011 1:54:20 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]

Our purpose and goal on FR is to restore, defend, preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity!!

The goal of the domestic enemy (the left), i.e., the statist liberals, Marxists and progressives is just the opposite.

The goal of the establishment RINO is to gain control of political power, but not to otherwise rock the boat. The boat continues taking on water and listing sharper to port every time the left takes over, but the unprincipled RINOs do absolutely nothing to right her when they get a chance. In fact, the RINOs actually tack on plenty of their own unconstitutional baggage when they're in power and so our ship of state today is in pretty bad shape.

RINO Romney is one of the worst. We can thank him for being the chief architect of ObamaCare, which if we cannot get overturned and repealed, will finally accomplish the left's major objective of shredding the final remnants of our tattered constitution and ending our God-given Liberty forever (they think).

The liberals believe our constitution is a flawed document written in a different time for different circumstances by rich old racist white men and no longer applies to today's circumstances. They're now even trying to promote the idea that the constitution was never intended to limit or restrict the powers of government.

Like hell! That was and is its primary intent! And we who have sworn an oath to defend it, will defend it--from all enemies, foreign and domestic!

And that's FR's purpose and reason for being.

Romney may be a Republican, and that's questionable, because he's violated nearly every plank in the Republican party's official pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Constitution, pro-Liberty platform, but he's definitely no conservative. In fact his record is that of a statist liberal progressive. And he's a total fraud to boot, with a nasty habit of lying--about everything. He'll do and say anything if he thinks it will help him get elected. He's a two-bit, unprincipled political whore.

Here's Romney's record on some of our primary issues of concern compared to Obama's:

Issue: Obama Romney
Pro-Abortion check check
Gun-grabber check check
Gay rights check check
Gov forced healthcare check check
Tax payer funded abortion check check
Man-made global warming check check
Liberal judges check check
Liberal appointees check check
Ted Kennedy pal check check
Proven liar check check
Fraud check check
Liberal Progressive check check
Enemy of Reagan/Bush check check
Enemy of the tea party check check
Enemy of Liberty check check
Defender of the Constitution no no
Conservative no no
Works across the aisle no yes
Architect of ObamaCare no yes
Domestic Enemy check check
Useful idiot check check

All of the above plus much more is documented in the RomneyTruth files on FR. Click the RomneyTruthFile keyword at the top of the main page. Also watch the "New Romney Campaign Video" also linked at the top of the main page. Watch it all the way through. I even saw some clips I'd never seen before. Pretty damning stuff for anyone running for president as a Republican.

Let's face it folks, the elite establishment RINO corps hates the tea party, hates conservatives, are afraid and even ashamed to have us identify ourselves as Republicans, feel we are dangerous extremist, racist, bigoted bible thumping, gun-toting, flag-waving neanderthals. The tea party is the best thing to happen for America since 1776 and our tea party candidates are the best thing for the GOP since Ronald Reagan, but what do the elite establishment RINOs do? They declare us the enemy! They went after Sarah Palin and some of our other tea party candidates with bared fangs and talons. Karl Rove and company were and continue to be as nasty and shameless on the attack as the nastiest lying liberal. Sarah Palin was the most exciting new face in GOP politics in a century and would have been a landslide 57 state victory over the corrupt, lying Marxist/progressive Obama. But the good ol' boys, i.e., the elite establishment corrupt crony capitalist GOP bastards could have none of that. Instead, they've opted to go all in with a corrupt, lying statist/progressive of their own: Willard (the Rat) Romney.

Well, good luck getting the Rat elected without the committed grassroots, pro-life, pro-constitution conservatives or the majority of the tea party.

FR, for one, will not play that game. NO MORE RINOS!!

No Romney. NOT ON FR!! NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Should Romney be "the one," I'll vote for the down-ticket conservatives on the ballot, but I will not vote for an abortionist, gay-rights pushing, gun-grabbing, global-warming advocating, big government healthcare mandating statist/progressive for president!! I'd rather write-in the name of the tea party conservative who best matches my beliefs. Romney is no 80 percenter. Not even close! He's the backstabbing enemy within.

God bless America!!

Long live the Republic!!

If Romney is the best the GOP has to offer, then I’m no longer in the GOP.

It’s not that I’ve left the Republican party, the Republican party has left me.

Go, TEA party!!

In my view, a Romney win of the R nomination essentially guarantees a 3rd party challenger from the right.

Probably so but a third party would assure 0 another win. There isn't enough backing for a third party IMO, unless you know there is.

Romney is stuck at 23% in the primary. He was stuck at about the same level in the 2008 primary. That's about all he is going to get, either in the primary or in the general election.

The liberal/moderate/commie wing of the Republican Party make up less than 25% of registered Republicans. More than 75% of us registered Republicans are conservative, and therefore against Romney (and every other RINO the establishment trots out to test the waters).

Now about those Independents: the 2010 election proved that the majority of Independents are conservative, more conservative than most Republicans, and they came out to vote in droves for conservative TEA Party candidates.

These conservative Independents outnumber the entire number of registered Republicans, and these conservative Independents combined with the 75% of conservative Republicans outnumber the liberal/moderate/commie wing of the Republican Party six to one, or 86% conservatives against 14% RINO vote.

In other words, the RINO mouthpieces gracing the daily talk shows represent only 14% of the general election vote, only slightly larger than the 10% to 12% represented by black voters who vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.

The only power the RINOs have is the power of the mainstream media, which they have used successfully for decades to convince conservatives that we must vote for the liberal/moderate/commie RINO of their choosing.

NO MORE! Never again! We will not vote for Romney or any other RINO!

We will have a conservative nominee, or the GOP will disappear in the dustbin of history along with the Whigs.

>If Romney is the best the GOP has to offer, then I’m no longer GOP.<

I’m watching Fox. Some older female commentator is saying that Romney “is the only candidate that can win”. She is clueless that if he’s nominated, the conservative base will either write in their choice leave the president blank.

I knew McCain was a flawed candidate. Dole before him didn’t have a snowball’s chance. IMHO, Romney has less popularity than McCain or Dole. McCain beat Romney like an OWS drum in the last primary.

WHY on earth does a large part of the GOP establishment refuse to learn from experience??

Thanks.

I’m with you completely. The GOP is going to have to dump Romney if they want to remain viable.

In the past, you've posted in support of Romney. Did some recent epiphany change your opinion of dear Mittens?

Jim, I completely understand your position and will fight against Romney to then end of the primaries, but if he is the ultimate nominee, I will be voting for Romney.

...and the GOP elite will hear, "Blah, Blah, Blah, I will be voting for Romney."

Way to surrender, C.M.

Now I’m from NC,and I’ve never heard that. From 1st grade up my schools and classes were 50% each Black, and White, so my friends growing up were fairly evenly divided. All of the Black people I have known have told me the term comes from a White person being “pasty like a soda cracker”.
Now granted this is anecdotal, but that’s what I’ve heard my whole life.
I guess the use depends on perspective.
Falls back to one of my mottos, I learn something new everyday!

Strange that you would address me in a thread that I didn't post in. But it's nice to know I'm living rent free in your head.

All I've said is anybody but Obama. Right now I'll be voting for take Cain if he is in my primary. And every night I end my prayers with a message to God to get a true known conservative into the race. But since my prayers aren't being answered what's a girl to do?

This is OUR tea party rebellion. Among others, the tea party conservative Republicans make up the majority of the current conservative wing of the Republican party VOTERS. If the statist/progressive conservative-hating Karl Rove RINO wing successfully wins the nomination for RINO Romney (with the all out help of the commie media) then the current tea party wing of the Republican party will become the new official opposition party of America. We must have a pro-constitution conservative party to combat the commies and Marxist/statist progressives!!

Long live the TEA party!!

Beyond that, the moment Romney wins the nomination, the commie media will turn on him and all of his past liberal/progressive acts, deeds, statements and speeches will be blasted across the wall-to-wall media and will be contrasted with every flip-flop the lying bastard ever made. And his vaunted real world corporate experience with Bain Capital will become the bane of his existence once the current crop of anti-capitalism/anti-corporatism commie lunatics get through with him. The media commies are pushing for Romney, simply because he’ll be the easiest for them to defeat in the general. Romney is Obama-lite!!
