I agree with your assessment. Palin’s tease campaign was a disaster for conservatism. Her fans systematically destroyed every candidate with an ounce of conservatism in them until we got down to Romney/Gingrich/Santorum and then she announces she’s not running when our choices are gone.

I had many fights here with Palinistas over their rabid support of the candidate-that-might-be over the candidates that are actually running and deserve support. Unfortunately, St Sarah of Wasilla never donned her armor and rode up to lead the army and now we all have to choose between Romney and Obama—the ultimate pair of sh!t sandwiches (one on white, one on wheat).

Thank you very much, LibLieSlayer!! Just took another one out.

Sad to hear, but you do what you think best. I sat in my here in my chair too long yesterday, reading complaints from malcontented posters, whom for small part said they have already left, that when I got up to go eat dinner, I could barely walk, so I called it an early night.

I'm glad I missed all the ensued nastiness from anti-Freepers whom I see were consequently banned.

I'm sure you could see from the others members that some are unhappy or were unhappy but they'ere sticking here with you and us. FReepers have always been the absolute best.

This vociferous disruptive group can and should take a hike. We are the Resistance!

The forum is not as consequential as many of the posters think it is. There was a day, back in the Xlinton years that it was. But sadly no longer.

Some posters may have you convinced that is true. A lot of people seem to be trying to convince FReepers that the site's best days are over. If our principles are not abandoned or covered over to placate those who are not sincere, this site will always be needed by and consequential to our Nation.

Don't look back.

Still bashing Palin, eh? Got nothing better to do?

[lonestar]

Self-preservation is a funny thing and she took a whole lot before she started fighting back!

I remember when she would post an article supporting Perry and would be attacked immediately.

If you remember otherwise, you were late to the party!

So sad. We could’ve been a contender if only we’d bowed to the GOP-e and gone along with their big tent (abortionist/homosexualist/statist) philosophy. /s

Hell, Jim’s just in it for the money anyway. He could be rich if he’d just go with the company line. You got to go along to get along.

No thanks! We are the resistance!!

If not us, who? If not now, when?

>>Still bashing Palin, eh? Got nothing better to do?

She betrayed conservatism by not freeing her supporters to move on to another candidate when we had 9 candidates. I supported her until she wasn’t in the race for the first or second debate. After that, I knew she wasn’t coming to the dance and I started looking for a new date, but many stood in the parking lot, pining away for her. So now we have Romney vs Obama and it is forbidden to support either here, so I’m mostly sticking to religious discussion until after November.

Thank you dear friend!

Bunkum. The elites wanted Romney and with money, the press and manipulation, they got him. We got the shaft. Again.

[Jim Robinson]

Uh huh. I see. Romney is Palin’s fault. But don’t you know it’s really all Bush’s fault?

I agree with you about FReepers leaving because of the vile non-stop religious bigotry which has mushroomed here.

There should be no place on a conservative political website for holier-than-thou cliques of wackos whose SOLE PURPOSE for being on the website is to trash the religions of other conservatives. Let them take their venom to an anti-Mormon or anti-Catholic website which wallows in such hatred. I’m disappointed that they are allowed here.

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena...”

Speech by “progressive” Pres. Theo Roosevelt, and frequently mentioned by “rino” Pres. Richard Nixon.

From start of VP until elected Potus Nixon was “In the Arena” for 15 years.

From start of Calif. Gov until elected Potus Reagan was “In the Arena” for 14 years.

I rather think olde Teddy would be quite popular with non-partisan Tea Party supporters, for his populism, for his “trust busting” etc.

And btw olde Teddy was “In the Arena” for a long, long time too.

You are most welcome. I am sorry that it came to that but decorum must be upheld. This is not now nor shall it ever be the DU and we need to act properly. I have not always done that myself but I promise you all that I am making every effort to make amends for past transgressions..

Fact is there are not enough FReepers or members of any other forum to influence an election!

You wouldn't see Tony Snow or Barbara Olsen hanging out here these days because there is no open discussion.

Only group-thinking allowed these days.

Sorry, but I prefer the past to this mess.

[Bryanw92]

Bunkum? Good word. LOL.

I’m not blaming her entirely for this mess we find ourselves in. I’m really not blaming HER at all. She never said she would run and she didn’t. I’m blaming the people who helped destroy conservatives so she would, in their minds, have an easy run to the nomination.

I’m just saying that she was more of a contributor that a solution. The GOP-e, along with the leftist media, were the primary culprits here. All Palin did was to make sure that no one supported any conservatives en masse until it was too late, and seeing what was happening on her behalf, should have let her supporter know much earlier that she wasn’t in it.
