RINO.
Three words: liberal progressive RINO.
Add a fourth, fifth, sixth, etc: unprincipled, untrustworthy, flip-flopper, aisle-crossing, fraud, liar, political whore.
And a few more: abortionist, gay rights panderer, gun-grabber, global warming advocate, big government mandate lover, socialist healthcare pusher, constitution trampling, liberal judge appointing, TARP loving, bailout loving, stimulus pushing Keynesian statist.
That my friends, is no definition of conservative or of conservatism. Not even close. In fact it's the exact opposite.
Free Republic is and will remain an exclusive pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-constitution, pro-small government, pro-capitalism, pro-defense, pro-borders, grassroots patriotic conservative site, regardless of party politics.
I support the Republican party as long as it promotes positions and candidates that I can agree with. The current party platform is a pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-constitution, pro-small government, pro-capitalism, pro-defense, pro-borders, patriotic, traditional conservative platform. When they formally (or informally) start knocking out or ignoring traditional conservative foundational planks so they can run liberal progressive RINOS then they have lost me. It won't be that I've left the Republican party, the Republican party will have left me.
Some people say FR is a cult. Well, I don't know about that, but I'll be damned if we're going to change our core principles and values so that we can support a man who has spent a political lifetime trying to run to the left of Ted Kennedy.
Every one of his leftist positions listed above are documented on the video linked below, which is a compilation of about a dozen debates and other Romney appearances where he vehemently advocates and defends his leftist positions and ideals:
Watch it all the way through. If he becomes the Republican nominee, I can guarantee you you will see these clips and more like them, over and over again on national TV. Romney is totally untrustworthy. And it's all documented in living color.
Yeah, I know. He's changed. He's now a life-long hunter who's always been pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government. And "most of his positions, all of them actually, have always been conservative." Just ask him. And that's the point. He's changed his mind, or at least, he's changed his political platform. And he'll change his mind again tomorrow. He'll continue changing his mind to match the current political winds. That's what unprincipled, untrustworthy, lying political whores do. It's in the nature of the beast.
I think I just did.
It’s good to periodically restate the conservative position. There is no way a conservative would be able to
vote for Romney.
We need to push hard for one of our conservative canditates.
Why do the squishes always get theri candidate and we take the tack”we’ll hold ou noses” When is it going to be their
turn to hold their noses?
I was sick to have to vote for McCain, the only thing that made it okay was the joy of it including Sarah Palin. A consolation prize though, was watching him actually lose and
the satisfaction that his idiot daughter wouldn’t be laying about the whitehouse. But i digress...
The common reponse is ‘whaddya gonna do,just let obama win?”
Well,if the nominee is Romney, the burden of the outcome is
on the Republican Party,not me. My vote means something to me,it’s all i have. This is why the media is pushing Romney
of course,they’re counting on the huge absence of the conservative vote. This is the year to push hard for a conservative. Curently, i think the best offering is Cain/Gingerich,in that order, but its early.
One word: NOT!
Leftist media plan
Stage one: support Romney
Stage two: support populist 3rd party challenger to siphon votes from Romney.
zero does nothing and wins with 45%.
Who wouldn't get behind a sensible thing like that?
Romney shouldn't even be in the race for more reasons than I have time to list.
Phew!! I thought we had another Romneybot troll to fight off. :)
Good job, once again.
Can I ask why we don’t have FR polls any more? Does the feature no longer work? Thanks.
Sadly, the formerly grand old party already has it narrowed down to Romney, a Romney supporter, and a Scozzafava supporter.
Only if at a minimum he is pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government. Bush was. Palin was (I wasn’t voting for McLame, but he was pro-life). Romney is none of the above.

The feature no longer works. Was dragging down our server and causing crashes. John took it down and said he’d rewrite the program but hasn’t done so yet.
Wow, you are right we could be disappointed, but voting for Romney will not be one of my regrets, will it be one of yours?
Where is Sarah Palin when you need her? If Romney is the nominee we will see her.
Thanks.
John? Pretty please, can you fix the poll, if at all possible?
*Flutters eyelashes*
I assume that's because the picture is real, and Romney would never come near actual firearms. Those things jump up and kill people, and he has big plans for his own future. That's probably the best picture they had for the message.
‘RINO facts’ is an excellent logo...one of the best!
A draft-dodging liar of ill repute.
BTTT!
