Jim, I can’t even describe the level of anger I feel toward the GOP-e and the Romney Sleaze Machine right now.
Not one of my dollars will go to the GOP anymore.
I will NEVER vote for Mitt Romney. NEVER.
Piss on them.
Thank you very much, big’ol_freeper!!
Woo hoo!!
And this just in:
$750.00 from Texas - “We need Free Republic more than ever! Thank you very much for leading the charge!!”
$20.00 from Michigan
Thank you very much, Texas and Michigan!!
And the first THIRTY-SIX percent is in!!
Rebellion is ON!!
Live free or die!!
I agree with you 100%. I held my nose & voted for Dole & McCain but no longer will vote for the GOP selection. I will write in Newt instead of voting for their Democrat Romney. Why was Ron Paul (who is a Libertarian) able to participate in the Republican debate? I’m fed up & will go Independent. The GOP doesn’t realize that we are fed up with their moving to the Democrat positions. I was from an Union family in Mich. & Democrat but the Democrats moved to Socialist then I moved to a Reagan Democrat/Republican & then moved to Republican but now the Republicans are the old Democrats & no longer my views or my party.
C’mon, Mark.
You know you want to....
;-)
My spouse has been hissing about the slimey behavior of Romney for months....no vote here.
.
FREEPERS
Left column almost half way down.
Vote yes or no- Do you think Fox has been unfair to candidates.
.
I will never vote for Romney either. Rebellion is a good thing in this situation. Go Newt Go ! Bring down the empire of the elites.
I hope Newt has the balls to stay in it and fight.
I have not been very active at all with my comments here, but I have been lurking. Today I have given up. You guys are all sheep and need to wake up. You are letting your passion blind you.
This will probably get me banned but whatever.
Whoever thinks any one of the GOP CURRENT candidates left is a real alternative to the establishment GOP, is totally blind.
And yes, this includes NEWT, which I find damn scary if you can’t see he does NOT represent what the tea party started out as standing for.
I mean come on, he was the Head of the establishment for awhile and he has a very long record of being liberal.
All the media had to do was attack him and we watch him bite bacl. Suddenly you all seem blind.
Has Newt done some good conservative things in the past? Yes. Is he the right guy that the tea party has been waiting for? No.
See the following links. Yes they are provided by Pauls website, but are all independant of Paul. And no, I do not support him either.

So what is so “conservative” about any of the above? Newt’s stances on these issues line up more with O’Bama’s Progressive Globalist agenda then those of a sovereign small-government conservative. I mean come on now…who is he trying to kid here? Maybe just you and me!
Wolf in sheep’s clothing…he’s the wolf…don’t be one of the sheep!
Wow! I have only been a part of this board for a couple of days now, but I sure feel at ‘home’ here!!!
Right-On!!!
Time to tell "them" again, "we're taxed (lectured, directed, humored and patronized) enough already!"
As for me, I've not thrown away my signs, tossed out my pitch fork or quite watching you guys so you'd best quit trying to tell me whom my candidate WILL BE, regardless of whom the people want. I'm ready to grab my megaphone (ala Sharpton) head for DC or my local elected critter's office is to tell you guys to "shut up and sit down" yourselves.
