Free Republic founder Jim Robinson has a message for supporters of Mitt Romney: go away.
In an email to POLITICO this afternoon, Robinson admitted that the site routinely blocks Romney supporters from posting -- and offered no apologies for the practice:
Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency.

Mincing words again. lol
Did you clear this with Jim Thompson?
Fox News has been steadily moving left for a few years. They only appear conservative to the loons watching MSNBC. There is an opening for a conservative news network on the cable system.
Who will be the next conservative Roger Ailes?
I still find it funny how many are shocked that a private website freely chooses to include the content it wants and exclude content it doesn’t want. I haven’t seen gardening threads on motortrend forums or welding threads at egullet.
ENOUGH of settling for the guy who's only somewhat better than the liberal dem.
Welcome, to all the new ABR's signing on to FR after reading this article. Thanks politico!
The very same thing could and has been said about.... McCain.
In a nutshell, yes.
And he may be even better than just “ok”.
Here’s the way I see it. We constantly talk about throwing out the career politicians and putting in people with real conservative conviction.
Well, here is a chance to do that. If we start complaining that he isn’t ENOUGH of a politician we’re going to have to call ourselves hypocrites.
Compared to a “normal” lifelong politician or lawyer running for office he’s not what we are used to seeing.
The knee-jerk reaction is to be uncomfortable.
The long term reasoning though should be, “GOOD!” We have an option that isn’t establishment.
There is no reason that politicians have to be from the political class. That is a lie that we have come to believe in recent generations. There is no special quality of leadership that “trained” politicians have. Leaders are leaders no matter what their walk in life. A president has to be a leader of men and have wisdom to choose the right people and right ideas when presented to him.
He does NOT have to be a career politician.
You can presume, but your presumption is wrong. Just checking to see if they’re ok.
SandRat, you seem confused about the nature of Free Republic if you want to ban conservatives like Ron Paul. As the article noted, “Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site.” Ron Paul is also well known as a pro-life, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, and pro-liberty advocate. If you want conservatives banned because they don’t share liberal foreign policy views that the Founders would find anathema (such as trying to do to other countries what liberals do to our own cities), you are at the wrong site IMHO.
Rumor has it that Romney Beat JR in 1 on 1 b’ball back in ‘86...JR can’t move past it.
And they've ALL heard it before. Can they hear us NOW?!

Thank you, Jim.
He said pro Constitution
Are you opposed to the Constitutuon
RINOS = Republicans Implementing Nuances Of Socialism
*What about the athists and non-Christians that post here?*
Poor spellers and lousy grammarians who post here is that which concerns me.
It should come down to, "Romney's an abortionist, cross him off my list, which candidate should I look into next". Even considering Romney is admitting that you don't think what's right is more important than what's the easiest.
Regards
A big thanks for all that you do Jim!! _01.jpg)
