How dare you... So that’s what Freerepublic has become? Think one way or else your booted? I have been here since 1998. I have never been as ashamed of it as I am right now.
“So that’s what Freerepublic has become? Think one way or else your booted?”
No, it has not. You can hold a ABO opinion and espouse it. However, to say that those that don’t agree with your ABO opinion to be “Obama supporters” (even unwittingly) because, out of disgust for the GOPe’s pick Romney, they refuse to support Romney. That is just NOT true and not welcome here. A third party vote or a blank ballot is NOT a default vote for Obama...it is what it is...a vote against both Obama and Romney. Jim Robinson and a great many regulars on this forum WILL NOT roll over for a liberal (pro-abortion, pro-homo, liberal compromising) candidate like Romney that has been foisted upon conservatives by the GOP establishment that are NOT real conservatives.
So, insulting a person here that takes a principled stand against either Obama or Romney is NOT to be insulted by calling them default (or otherwise) Obama supporters.
IF you are others chose to waste your vote on a piece of human excerement like Romney....that is your choice. IF you do it because you think Anyone if Better than Obama...that is also your choice and you are free to express it. However, stick to that line...DO NOT insult principled conservatives than won’t drink the GOPe Romney Cyanide Koolaid. Romney is NOT pro-life, he is NOT anti-homosexual agenda, he is NOT even conservative. He is NOT a proper candidate to represent the conservative base of the GOP faithful. We (many of us) are sick of being marginialized by the GOPe as being the only way we can vote. So, we are standing up to them, and liberalism in the GOP.
So, if not being able to call Romney opponents on this forum, “Obama Supporters” (by whatever specious reasons you may dredge up) is something to be “ashamed” of....then maybe you are in the wrong place.
Jim Robinson wrote the following today on a post:
“We are losing our country to godless socialism and what does the GOP do? Run an abortionist/homosexualist statist whose socialist RomneyCare program was the blueprint and impetus for ObamaCare! Screw that!! I’ll vote for the GOP’s candidate for the presidency when they run a CONSERVATIVE!! Otherwise, to hell with them!! The GOP is fast becoming cementing their place as part of the problem! Wake up America!!”
He wrote this on a slightly earlier date:
“Well, people keep badgering me about this. No I will not vote for an abortionist for president. Period. It’s no secret. I’ve been posting that I will not vote for Rudy/Romney abortionist for many years. Have had a headline stating that fact on the top of our main forum index page for years:
Welcome to Free Republic, America’s exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives!
Romney does not qualify on any count!”
How dare you... So that’s what Freerepublic has become? Think one way or else your booted?
Yes . It’s gotten so much different than in the past . Damn shame really . The commonality , associations, the knowledge . I dont see it anymore . It’s all good . we have the entire planet at our finger tips ;)
Pretend for a moment that botox didn't exist.
The ABOs were allowed to pontificate but not lambast the Conservative majority. Those days are over when you could come in here and tell people that if they didn't vote so and so then you were going to he((. Does not compute.
