This time next year, when we're sitting across the table from each other in the concentration camp shoveling in our daily bowl of thin gruel, you can crow about how your conscience is clear because you didn't pull the lever for Mitt.

2ndDivisionVet, careful what you say to Diogenesis. He may hand you the dullest of all the shovels when he's passing them out for his man Obama.

Cringing Negativism Network:

You REALLY shouldn't have.

For people who ARE ACTUAL CONSERVATIVES, Romney will NEVER be "our guy." He is NOT meaningfully any better than Obozo unless the biggest issue in one's life is the care and feeding of Little Muffy's trust fund. Romney is not as good a liar as Obozo but Romney does have decades of practice. Real conservatives recognize Romney as the flesh-eating bacteria that he clearly is.

For any conservative who IS a conservative, the answer to a dichotomy of Obozo or Mittler is NEITHER.

Admit it: You are simply advocating that Romney be elected by people who hate him a smidgeon less than they hate Obama. This is what America has come to when the GOP-E can BUY nominations for left-wing Demonrats in GOP drag. RESIST!!!

Aren't you amazed when virtually no one here (not even Mittler's paid staffers advocating votes for the absolute POS Mittler will admit that they favored him as their first choice?

I posted previously that even Anne Romney might post here as to how Mittler wasn't her first choice and someone responded that she was engaged to someone else when Mittler went to hide in France as a "missionary" to avoid service in Viet Nam just as all of his male relatives had avoided military service in every war, just as his five sons have avoided military service. While Mittler was off in France, Daddy George the Brainwashed took Anne in hand, converted her to Mormonism and got her to commit to marrying Mittler instead. Mittler's Mommy Lenore who ran for Senate as a babyscraper in Michigan in about 1970 and pre-Roe vs. Wade would be sooooooo proud!!!

Elephants NEVER FORGET! RESIST! Now and forever!

I reckon that concentration camp will be there regardless - Both candidates are rabid globalists, and I believe the ultimate end game is the same no matter which is sElected.

It really is too bad that the 'premier conservative site on the web' won't get it together and lend a hand to one of the Conservative candidates that are available... But I know that won't happen - the pragmatists have the bit in their teeth again.

In the end all will be for naught. Principle dictates it.

Demoralization is a weapon of the enemy. Don’t get it, don’t spread it!

You bring nothing to the table endlessly repeating his sins

Doubtful the contempt for Romney will change much. And I'm not sure the Liberty we strive for would force a man to vote against his will.

The tacit support for Obama is indeed frustrating, but we can only assume our choice to elect Romney is the correct one — a choice that is essentially speculation.

Those who love Freedom FIGHT FOR IT. They don't vote in a slow path to slavery.

We should all wear these words you posted, below your graphic, around our necks, in our hearts, and in our tag line.

Resistance has to begin sometime when it has a cost or it is meaningless. We either pay up or we give in until we can’t.

Now is that time.

For anyone who claims not to be a reality denying idiot it will be one of the two. I didn't ask what you will do I asked who do you prefer.

"I'm not sure the Liberty we strive for would force a man to vote against his will"

I didn't advise (or 'force' in your BS false witness) anyone how to vote or even that they should vote. Did I? Learn to read.

Make no mistake.. I hold Romney in high contempt.

Romney isn’t our best guy, but he’s light-years above Obama.

Play it all you want, that is a fact.

[roamer_1:] I reckon that concentration camp will be there regardless

Demoralization is a weapon of the enemy. Don’t get it, don’t spread it!

It isn't about demoralizing. It is about the truth. The suggestion upthread that we *must* elect Romney or suffer internment camps under Obama required a response. It is my honest opinion that both/either will result in the same thing - Globalism is the new socialism, and Romney (as a globalist himself) is no improvement upon the current _resident.

If FreeRepublic were worth her salt, such an observation would not be subject to being tamped down and hidden, nor should I receive remonstration for making the point:

FreeRepublic ought to be lifting up Conservatism. That's what she is here for.

That is not accomplished by supporting liberalism just because the liberal candidate is a Republican.

It is shameful.

I would like to see you demonstrate that 'fact'.

IMO, the only (and I do mean only) selling point is that Romney is sort of the 'devil we don't know'... But even accounting for that emotional construct, there is nothing in his record to suggest he won't be the same damnable thing, except that with an 'R' beside his name. the 'devil we don't know' is still a devil, just the same as the one that is there now.

As time goes by, more and more conservatives will come to realize this (to their utter horror).

Can you read???? Do so.

I do not prefer Obozo. I do not prefer Mittler. I do not prefer Caligula. I do not prefer Nero. I do not prefer Diocletian. I do not prefer Lenin. I do not prefer Stalin. I do not prefer Chairman Mao. I do not prefer Obamao. I do not prefer Mittler.

If that does not adequately explain to you my preference, get thee to a home for the terminally rationally challenged. I take it that you think your attempt at thought control and conversation control is just soooooo clever. As I and many others here prove day after day, you are wrong and that can only change with you.

I prefer no mass baby-murdering, lavender perversion favoring, church persecuting, gun grabbing, tax hiking, over regulating, socialized medicine lusting, global warming believing, heathen POS SOB (I do not blame all those good Mormon folks for Mittler's obvious heresies).

Putting a graphic box around your silly foolishness makes it no less silly and no less foolish.

Likewise, your insults toward fellow Freepers with the requisite functioning brain cells to agree with JimRob and to recognize the major party candidates for the criminal parasites that they are, get you nowhere. Your unprincipled subservience to Mittler leaves you in advanced frustration. There is NOTHING you can say or do to get principled conservatives to join your apostasy. So, your undies are in a bunch, toooooo bad!

Got this far...

Yet the Republicans’ presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, is not a member of the GOP establishment.

One can weigh the rest of the article appropriately. And it was going so well....
