Well, this ought to be interesting.
Thank you Boss and God Bless!!!!!!
way to go, Jim.
Looks like you are still here.
Keep up the good fight, and thank you.

Okay.
Count me as a purist too.
I will not vote for either candidate. It’s not a change. It’s not my values.
These fringers are obsessed with you and FR, Jim.
“This post from FReeper Leep “
I have never heard of this clown. Was this a troll?
My take is pretty simple:
If you can handle supporting Romney/Ryan, do so-
If not, work to support conservative candidates in other races, as JimRob is doing
That purist label is a lie anyway. Conservatives are the ones who have repeatedly compromised for moderates only to be stabbed in the back. Guys like McCain and Graham wouldn’t be where they are if conservatives hadn’t compromised for them and in return conservatives have been repeatedly screwed.
In contrast, George Romney stomped off to pout and refused to endorse or support Barry Goldwater when he won the nomination in 1964.
The purists are the moderates who reserve their compromise for their friends on the left.
His “screed” makes me like FreeRepublic more.
Long live FR. You, Drudge, and Instapundit are my news sources. Period.
Consequently, I receive relevant news sooner and with far less distortion and omissions than from the MSM.
As for RINOs, may they rest at the bottom of the same sewage tank as the Obamadork and his West Wing Clown Show of Felon/Cretins.
Oh, and RINOmney is still a dork...although I will have to hold my nose and vote for him.
Any way we can drop the vapid dork and get Ryan to the top spot?
The GOP is a disgrace to our Country and way of life. They pretend to be conservative but are nothing more than Democrats hiding behind a veil of limp talk. They have the same values as the Dems since they fully believe the citizens are too ignorant to run their own lives and need to be subjugated to the GOP elite whims.
I’m with you, Jim. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
Ryan Paul is a near-perfect T.E.A. Party candidate and would be a heartbeat away from the presidency if elected.
Could even position him for his own presidential run.
I enjoy and support FR, so I'll try not to get the boot after all these years.
My priority is the defeat of Obama.
WTF is a RINO these days anyway? The Republican Party has moved Left. That’s a true fact. Why are they doing this? It’s simple. For the past 30 years, industry and government have worked together to ship all the manufacturing jobs out of this country, so a hard-working high school graduate has almost no chance of success.
Then, they conspired to make us all get a degree so we could get a job and now that just gets you in the door for a minimum wage job that a teenager could do in 1975.
If we lived in Conservative Utopia, where would everyone work? The jobs are never coming back. The business owners aren’t going to bring them back and the consumers aren’t willing to pay the high prices for domestic content. Business owners keep demanding more and more work from less and less employees for less money each day, yet they pay the same taxes they paid under Bush (so far). We’ve turned America into a nation for the wealthy elite and the welfare class. There is no room at the table for a working man.
Now, we could lower the standard of living so that our labor costs are low enough to lure jobs back to the US.
And that is EXACTLY what both parties are doing. We are going through a painful contraction of the economy that will end with a large number of Americans permanently on the dole and the rest working like galley slaves to live just a little better than those who live on government checks.
In addition to simply taking money out of our pockets to lower our living standard, they have indoctrinated two generations with global warming, unrealistic body images, and a lifestyle that is unhealthy so that those generations think that every day is armageddon.
Both parties are unwilling to grow the standard of living. They are partners in lowering it. They only differ in the methods and speed of decline.
And that is the big diference. Obama and the Progressive Left want to drive us into a third world lifestyle, raising up the multi-culti peoples as the standard. They want the white middle class punished for past successes in favor of the multi-cultis.
Romney and the Progressive Right want to drive us to European Socialism. That’s not a great place to be, but it gives us a chance of a standard of living that doesn’t include eating our pets.
The “greatest generation” is dying off fast and the Boomers will start dying off soon. Then, the children of the Cold War will die off. The generation after that has been prepared for the hopeless future and they are ready to live the urban survival lifestyle that the future will demand.
Its a bleak, dystopian future, but that’s the way it is. The Conservative is today’s true RINO because the political system has abandoned us as obsolete artifacts of the days of American Greatness. The political parties laugh at our naivete. If you are even a nominal Christian, place your faith in God and give up on the USA. It is dying and political system is feeding it poison as it struggles to live.
As I voted for Palin last time, I’m voting for Ryan this. I can’t sit back and vote for soetoro by not voting the GOP ticket. It may be unfortunate but it’s true.
That being said, I love FreeRepublic. God Bless the site and God Bless the overall work you do.
God bless you, Jim. God bless your family, too.
A liberal is a liberal whether there's an R or D after their name.
I doubt any Conservatives have left Free Republic but a lot of RINOs and libs have.
I guess my pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-gun, pro-liberty constitutional stance makes me a "purist" who must be hated and persecuted and run off the net even though my positions on these causes are exactly the same as the official Republican party platform.
That ... plus I'm willing to bet that your willingness to fight for these ideals ... combined with your non-compromising take no prisoners attitude ... causes the establishment RINO's to pee their pants more than just about anything else.
