....."As to Jim's Mission Statement, that answers the confusions about his policies regarding free speech 'rights' on his website..... As long as Free Republic is his property (which it most assuredly is),.... he gets to 'define' the goals, purposes, and policy of the site.... Folks who want to stray outside the boundaries of his very clear statements regarding this, are essentially going out of agreement with his Mission Statement. ...... It couldn't be any clearer to me...... There's nothing unambiguous about it. It's almost laughable to me that some people continue to be baffled when he shows someone the exit who disagrees.".......

I agree....and it is baffling why some don't get this. With Newt still standing in this race, and folks knowing what stands at risk in the general...why on earth they're 'already' supporting Romney defies imagination, IF indeed they are the conservatives they claim.

Further the threads evidence more than just wanting to see Obama out...it often seems like they're 'Promoting Romney". Why do so when they surely know how Jim and others here see Romney as equal to Obama? To me they are asking for discord and to be challenged.... it's just the way it looks on the threads.

I think the anger and bitterness we see is their efforts to change peoples minds about Romney isn't working, rather they're being challenged head on, and yet they want to air their opinions favorable about him none the less. And this is why some are attacking other posters....

Good observation, caww. Those who are abandoning their alleged principles, and who are advocating that we throw our support to Romney, seem to become emotional when we don't buy their arguments.

When our refusals to join them in their headlong rush toward a new Socialist master escalate, they scream and cry that we're being foolish, or that we're essentially voting for Obama. When Jim has finally had enough, and shows a few of these people the door, their sympathizers begin crying 'foul!'

Enough. Some of us simply won't be coaxed or bullied into accepting the left's terms of surrender, no matter the outcome. I'd rather stand and fight an avowed enemy, than relax my guard and get a shiv in my back from a Trojan horse traitor.
