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.

“Their stance is except for incest, rape and the health of the mother...(which of course can be interprested as anything...)”
When it comes to this subject most Americans when polled say they only want it used for this. They are just fine if a woman’s life is in danger. Or if a woman is raped by a stranger. Incest? Yes I can see all the threads on the incest related abortions. Abortion for them is seen as an end a pregnancy of a statutory rape, not knowing it is some family member trying to hide a crime. Either way I am not going to tell a raped woman she can’t have an abortion, because of her state of mind. I will only tell her to think about it and try to change her mind. Same goes for a woman who’s life is in danger. I would suggest to that woman she seek a second opinion if she has not already. Most I talk to feel the same way. They don’t want it used as a birth control, and are shocked that this is the outcome.
My grandmother told me that before roe vs wade abortion was available for women who were raped and danger to a mothers health. I believe her she was conservative. I have to also imagine that these type of abortions were not common in most places, although I am sure they happened.
Really suprised trains didn’t come up.
They sure don't want any Tea Party types derailing that gravy train.

When Mitt Romney’s aunt died from that illegal abortion before 1970 the pregnancy was not due to any rape or health of the mother ...
are you suggesting she was the victim of incest ???
That the father was one or Mitt Romney’s own family ???
and not just an unrelated boyfriend after all ???
Jim, you should shut it down if Mittens gets the nod. The thought of the depression here will be just unbearable.

did your grandmother also happen to tell you what law allowed this ???
What? Where are you referencing?
They wish. If that sad day should come to pass, FR will be needed more than ever. We’ll be campaigning full-time, 24/7 against both constitution trampling liberal progressives, Romney and Obama!!
Long live the tea party rebellion!!
Go TEA party!!
Retread troll at #768 “Guy Gardner” zapped at #769 by JimRob.
Begging your pardon if you already have this info.
I saw the one about us. It’s from a troll banned from here. He said he lurks here to read what we and a couple of others have to say.... because we’re idiots I guess. LOL.
What I think is that you're nuts. Really, really nuts.
You are berating me for being proud of behavior I never endorsed, witnessed or participated in. If you can find any posts of mine bashing Rick Perry or those who favor him, list them here in this thread. You won't find any.
In short, I don't care about your childhood or how some Cain supporter gave you a noogie. Quit whining and grow up. Or at least go pick a fight with somebody who actually did some of this stuff you're obsessed with.
Excellent!
You founded this site, JR. You make the rules. They are good rules.
I would say Fr is rather lax.
I am a member at one of the largest muzzleloading sites. Any mention there whatsoever of another muzzleloading site sets one up for a ZOT.
A semi-reading from the book of ZOT!
I call it a semi-reading because although there have been a number of ZOT!s, this is beyond ridiculous. While I posted once earlier I just had to stay off this thread for the most part because my blood pressure couldn’t take it. So for those who cannot seem to wrap their minds around a few things, let me post some points for us ALL to ponder. And take this in the spirit of a fellow poster with no power or authority to speak with anyone but my bad self.
1: FR is the labor of the not Swiss but American Family Robinson. It is not the labor, the property oe the domain of anyone else. Further, as I have seen used in numerous Zottings and near Zottings, at what point in the mind of a person does he/she equate making a donation/several donations to having a say in the management/policies of FR? Does this apply in any other aspect of society with a similar dynamic? If you donate to a church and disagree with their policy on X, do you think that because of that the pastor must suddenly bend to your will? I think ZOT!
2: People more than ever seem to have no freaking clue what having principles and sticking to them actually entail. Likewise for the self-proclaimed label of “Conservative.” JR has a treasure trove of documented FACTS that show Romney to be the polar opposite of what the general consensus of “Conservative” actually represents.
Yet every single freaking day, in some post on the topic, we read another Freeper “Conservative” saying in effect, “No, I don’t actually believe the things I say because rather than live by them, I will abandon them all and vote for Romney rather than an actual Conservative, because I am a coward and I “fear” Obama.
Worse yet, I see Freepers defending the practice of abandoning principles. You people are on the wrong site and voting for the wrong Party. That’s a core quality of a liberal Democrat that you’re displayin’ there. And of course you (to those this applies to) refuse to admit it and cite non-applicable free speech laws, doomsday scenarios and anything else you can devise to trick yourself into believe that you are doing something OTHER than what you really are...AKA turning your back on conservative ideals and your own integrity.
Can ONE of you make the case that voting for a Romney is in any way shape or form a “Conservative” thing to do when as JR has documented over and over again, he is a libDem with an “R” following his name? Father of Romney/Obamacare...PRO/Anti abortion...Pro/Anti 2nd Amendment etcetcetcetcetc...
Do you have ANY idea what a fool you look like saying out of one side of your mouth “I’m a Conservative” and out of the other side of your mouth “I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee”. Actually you look and ACT just like the man you’ll vote for and claim to oppose. Romney. Or Obama for that matter since the FACT of historical data shoes little if any difference between them.
3: As for the subject of ABO, see the paragraph above. Stand for something or stand for nothing. Them’s the only two possibilities.
Lastly, this is a rant I had to get off my chest. As I have said repeatedly, there are a lot of self described ‘conservatives here that do not seem to comprehend what that is really supposed to be. And rather than firing off a post/flame to me on what an ass I am, why not better use the time for a bit of personal and political introspection and decide what it is you REALLY believe. Because your claims are pretty much contradictory.
Just answer me this. What OTHER things you claim to believe in STRONGLY are you ready to abandon out of convenience? Who are you REALLY?
Normie, Chief Druid of Trollhenge
PS. If we cannot win based on actual conservatism, not RINO BS, then this country is already dead. Period.
There you go!
If a person will NOT follow what he claims to believe in; don't come running to me, trying to get my vote, saying:
"I believe in America!!!"
