Primaries are always bloodfests on FR. Probably always will be. People get passionate about politics.
You were persecuted daily for years on this forum for your Palin support? How is a large group of posters pinging each other and posting the picture of you and Palin while saying 'this is Palin Country'- you being persecuted? Pardon me but did you not realize your forum persecuted Perry,Bachmann and Santorum.I am here to attest to you (just in case you missed this) That is was Parry,Bachmann and Santorum that were persecuted on this forum.We lost a chance at a good conservative all under the guise of Palin running.Primaries are ugly but 'this was Palin Country', is not persecuting you.
Things are not as you say. It didn’t go down that way. But it’s fun to vent, isn’t it.
I liked Perry. I wish he were still in it.
But HOW THE HELL do you figure internecine squabbles HERE affected votes?
What percentage of vote failure for any of those folks do you attribute to Free Republic?
Hey, I got my butt hurt over supporting Perry.
I almost got the ZOT over disliking Palin. Bachmann and Santorum I never gave much thought to.
How do you figure trends HERE on FR.. which I'd LOVE to see you
graph out.. affected where we find ourselves today? How exactly?
Draw that conclusion with a few facts, please do.
Otherwise, you're just another sucker whining because you didn't get your way.
Got news, bud. It ain't gone ANY of our way. Suck it up.
Yes, I had support but was also persecuted, harangued, and insulted daily by those with Palin derangement syndrome. Finally zotted a few of them after Palin said she would not run, yet they continued to harass her and her supporters. And yes I am aware that the same thing happened to those who supported Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Santorum and Gingrich. I stated many times that I would be happy with any one of those conservatives and unsuccessfully cautioned people not to drive them all out. Every support group from every candidate viciously attacked the supporters of other groups.
Very few clean hands in this fiasco. I told the complainers that it would have to run its course. Though I feared it’d end up the way it did. Too many wannabe conservatives in the race, only one rich lying GOP officially backed and anointed RINO. He is the one they’ve been waiting for.
