DanZ, Bray is NOT pissed off because someone is attacking Romney.
What is pissing him off is the CONSTANT dumping of anti-Romney material we’ve all seen before, and no doubt will keep seeing until the election, and perhaps long after. We’d like this thread to be a place of serious discussion and thoughful debate among friends... Is that so wrong?
Certain threads on Free Republic and certain FReepers are at each other’s throats; wanting people banned and zotted for merely disagreeing with them. Can’t we please avoid that here?
I have seen this behavior directed at supporters of EVERY Republican candidate over the past year. Because of this stupid infighting, we’ve lost all the conservative candidates, and some chose not to run (Sarah Palin). most of us on this thread strongly supported every other candidate EXCEPT Romney. In fact, I don’t think I ever met an original Romneybot, that is, someone whose been for Romney since the beginning.
Some long time ago we on this thread agreed not to get into the antagonizing of other people over their candidates, and it worked very well. No one spammed against other candidates here even though it was happening constantly on about every other thread.
We—ok, I, simply speaking for myself (chime in if any reader agrees with me)—do not want that here. I acknowledge I have no power to enforce it, except to ask people kindly not to do so.
Free Republic has lost a number of good people over the past year due to this mean-spirited infighting. I’m deeply saddened by this. I’m not going to argue in favor of Romney, but if you don’t see that the game is over I don’t know what else to say. I know I will vote AGAINST Barrack Hussein Obama come November.
I do not contribute much more than a comment here and there, because mostly what needs to be said is already said when I log on, however, in this, I agree 100%.
To help clear up any possible miss interpretations of my point of view.
I would wager that most on this thread would consider the departure of Kay Baily Hutchison a good thing.
I see Mitt Romney as being to the LEFT of Key Baily and in the same / similar mode as the last President Bush. The two things President Bush did well was appoint two “Constitutional” disposition layers to the Supreme Court. The Jury is still out on how they will “grow”.
My preference is for a limited Constitutional form of G’ment with things like the Dept. of Education, as well as many other Federal agencies totally eliminated.
I see the unlimited g’ment as a cause for most of what ails the U.S. Unfortunately there are no signs from the Republican brand to change my mind.
Representative Ryan’s budget is one small hope. If in March of next year there is a majority Republican House and Senate as well as a President Romney - Will his version be implemented?
The other option - Democrat/Socialist is worse, but only because we get to arrive in Hell faster.
Excellant post. thank you for your succinct reasoned comment.
Dang!
You give up quite easily!
