Attention "Anyone But Obama" (ABO) FReepers! If you go to the thread at the link you will will see that JimRob has "declared a truce" and hundreds of ABO FReepers are now vigorously defending their belief, which I share, that the ineligible Marxist Manchurian MUST BE DEFEATED to preserve the Republic...without fear of "the ZOT"! Please consider a DONATION not just to fund renewal of expression and amplification of your ABO views, but let's over-achieve this FReepathon to get JR his new equipment!
IMO, Free Republic and FReepers could be vital in swing states in rallying just enough conservatives to tip the election and prevent our troops from having to salute for even one day longer than necessary an ineligible Marxist committed to destroying the USA !
With Romney it wont' be our congress or our representatives that will influence him or hold his feet to the fire...it will be the unseen LDS leadership. We can at least try and move congress....we have zip zero access to Romneys leaders or to influence them....they will have free reign with no accountability to anyone.
They have their own global governance ambitions, under the authority of their leaders, or at very least a huge part of, and Romney to bring that about if he wins....with the leadership of his organization/alias church overseeing him.
They don't understand the denial and deception is the whole of the Mormon Agenda....control and so called "benevolent dictatorship..but control none the less.
Well, this is Free Republic, land of the free, home of the brave and freest nation on the planet, thanks to God, thanks to our Founders, thanks to our never surrendering liberty-loving patriots and thanks to our military might. Either you’re with us in the never-ending fight against evil or you’re not. The decision is yours and yours alone.
I have absolutely no doubt that by sticking to the straight and narrow path we will persevere!!
Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!!
Aw, shucks - - - thanks.
Glad it increased the activity of “your little gray cells.”
I too, used to consider what part of a year, month, or week that I could keep my own money.
Then I realized that I was not seeing the fourth dimension properly: I was deluding myself believing that THE GOVERNMENT was leaving me alone to work for myself for a highly productive, and for a long period of time.
WRONG! If my income rate changed due to a raise, promotion, new job, increased sales or productivity, etc., then I would have to go back and move up my previous date of “freedom.”
The effect was to increase my resentment to increased income because I was less “free” than before. I did not need that idea around as an incentive killer!
So I chose to use the % of just one work day, the basic building block of a work year.
Now I absolutely KNOW that THE BODY POLITIC wants me to work 100% of every 8 hour work day for them.
Thus, I am more acutely aware of how close to complete success they are, AND I no longer delude myself by thinking that I have a lengthy period of time when I am working for myself.
Time is moving like a trotting mouse, and the Jackboots of THE BODY POLITIC are moving as fast as a running rat.
BTW, a running rat runs at the rate of 40 MPH, and there are 40 work hours in a week - - - hmmmmm - - - ? NAH! Probably just a coincidence!
It’s a fool’s argument to insist that ABO means anything but “Romney.” Yes, “chances” may be a horse-racing term, but it still fits. I’ve no doubt Tom Hoefling and Virgil Goode are outstanding conservatives, but eventually reality has to rear its ugly head.
I don’t like Romney in the least and I loathe Obama, but between the two you have massive campaign machines backed by a billion-plus dollars (far more than that when you consider Obama’s using tax dollars for campaigning), strong press presences, and built-in national name recognition. Add to that that third parties are easily demonized as being the home of fruits and freaks by both liberals and conservatives (and ESPECIALLY so by Republicans and Democrats), it looks like people just spending energy on a cause that was lost before it began.
However, maybe I’m wrong—God knows I’d be delighted to be proved wrong in this, but I really don’t think so.
All I can say is “good luck” to the folks who want to take a stab at it.
Opus Adios, and not letting the doorknob hit me in the coccyx!
Some?
Main group would be, naturally, MORMONs.
Second, would be Oprahized 'Christians'.
Third; probably atheist/agnostics who don't like to heaar about ANY religion ANYwhere.
Which DIOS?
Well that is the Pits!!!! However, maybe this will make you feel better, at least until our Presidential election :
....”New French Socialist President vows “75% tax” on anyone making more than $1.3 million...that’s $975,000 in taxes for someone who makes $1.3 mil.”... he’s also lowering retirement to 60.
Here’s an idea....let’s welcome all the French millionaires into the united states! We could use the extra tax revenue!
I said, no, as the accusation was made here in the open forum.
If you want me to repent; you'd best Display my sins.

Ah! Never made the connection!
And an absolutely solid salute to you for trying! Since my guy is out, if you need any writing of policy papers etc done I am available.
If I have been ACCUSED of something; then is it NOT the ACCUSERS resposibilty to produce the evidence?
I'm not too big to be gracious and accept an apology; if your time is so valuable.
I felt I needed to respond to your last post yesterday, but am not interested in continuing this conversation here, as it is not germane to the subject of the thread.
(BTW, I realized my last post #1225 had a typo, which is why I logged back in and then saw several pings to me. I meant to say that “I do not have a problem with ‘Anybody but Obama’ people — they include the vast majority of my Republican friends in my county who supported Rick Santorum.” What I wrote was “Anybody but Romney,” which would also be accurate, but it's not what I meant to say. My point was to say that most local Republicans I know, even if they were opposed to Romney, are willing to vote against Obama. We do have a fairly active Constitution Party group in our area but I don't see them realistically getting traction in a presidential campaign in a closely divided swing state like Missouri where it is quite possible that every single vote could count.)
Thanks to caww as well for your kind compliments at #1229 on what I wrote. And I agree, Elsie, on your assessment at #1246 of likely motives. I don't know many of these people or have a prior background reading their posts, so I'd rather be charitable if in doubt.
Back to ohioWfan: yes, some of Obama’s core constituencies, including blacks, Hispanics, and young voters, are seriously hurting. There are reasons why the Democratic Party is pushing student loan issues now, sending racial signals on the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case, and trying to make a “war against women” argument.
Also, I agree with you that lots of unhappy people in 2008 projected their idea of “change” onto a largely blank slate, and now that they're seeing what the “change” involves, they're disillusioned. As conservatives, we can only hope that people have changed their minds about the nature of Obama’s “change.”
For the sake of the conservative movement in the short term, probably the best possible scenario out of our current bad situation would be an extremely narrow Romney victory with lots of conservatives in “safe Republican” or “safe Democrat” states casting protest votes for third parties, making crystal clear to Romney that he doesn't have a mandate to push a left-of-center agenda.
I think Romney will do whatever he thinks it will take to get elected, and I'm extremely unhappy with the trial balloons he's been sending up about a “move to the middle.” If we don't hold his feet the fire we're going to have an awful mess if he's elected, and an even worse mess with four more years of President Obama if Romney is defeated.
--MormonDude(A vote FOR Romney is a vote AGAINST Obama!!)
(Y'all ARE against Obama; aren't you??)
It doesn’t quite have the panache of Moon Over Miami,
but it DOES evoke a certain mental image!
LOOKS of it???
TMI and I don't want to know!
