I assume that related to the Republican primaries. When we get to the general election, an entirely different reality is present. See below the content of an e-mail I received this morning.
Political Futures "If Mitt wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep four things in mind: Justice Scalia just turned 78, Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year, Justice Breyer will be 76 in August, and Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago. We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court -- in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don't think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you're smokin' something funky." --columnist Andrew McCarthy
ditto
“If people applaud Romney leading Obama in the polls, etc., is that going to run afoul of FR’s policy regarding supporting Romney?”

Where is that Policy set forth? Could you cite us a source on that? While most people on here, including yours truly, can’t stand Romney’s political philosophy, I believe this is still the United States of America and Freedom of Speech is still a right. I don’t think FR practices Censorship. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Well, but McCarthy doesn’t set the policy for Free Republic. Jim Robinson does, and I understood his recent posts to mean that supporting Romney here even during the general election campaign won’t be tolerated. I’m honestly wondering because I don’t know.
“I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind: Justice Scalia just turned 78, Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year, Justice Breyer will be 76 in August, and Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.”
That’s worth repeating over and over..
Major bttt for sound thinking vs invincible stupidity.
