“I want the Freedom on A ‘Conservative site’ to bash Romney all I want without being told I’m ‘a traitor’ for not voting for Romney.”
I want the freedom on a “conservative site” to say I’d reluctantly vote for Romney (or anyone else) in hopes of avoiding four more years of the destructive bastard Obama without being accused of being a “Romney supporter”, a “troll”, a “Romneybot”, or “campaigning for Romney”. I think that’s an equally reasonable desire.
Furthermore the weak backs of some Freepers in not being able to be challenged in their opinions is something to behold. They sound like Progressives with their whining and “hurt feelings”.
Politics and elections are fiercely personal and tempers and emotions run high. You have to have the ability to let things role and stick to the discussion topics etc.....if you can't then perhaps another site where passions are less significant might be a better choice for some.
IMO The moderators do the best they can at keeping it to a limit....I see more freedom of expression here than most sites, so I would argue with those who say otherwise.
But again...Promoting Romney here is not the same as I want to vote against Obama. So voice that and then let it go. Don't trample on those who put their principles and their vote at a higher value and understand they stand before another for what and who they support...and or refuse to support.
But most don't....and that's because they all too often don't care what boundaries they cross...and they want a stage to promote Romney. Their frustration is anger they cannot convince others to follow them in voting for Romney....has nothing to do with being insulted.
