Well, Jim. How are you going to deal with the CINOs here on Free Republic now that this ridiculous strategy has been repudiated?

To: Jim Robinson from Kazan
We’ll deal with Romney and the RINOS later.
How are we going to do that when the establishment knows, ultimately, even you will vote for whoever they put up?

Jim, by his own account, made a prayerful decision
***He made a sleepless decision. Sleeplessness is not prayer. God doesn’t want us to give up our deeply held principles.

coming apart at the seams with major in-fighting while the real enemy savages our ranks and out flamks us.
***The real enemy is within the gates. It is CINOs. It is the folks you have thrown in with. Those are the folks who have been conducting the in-fighting, “causing FR to come apart at the seams”.

Ultimately, Romney had almost three million votes less than McCain. He lost Colorado, Iowa, Virginia and Ohio. Why? For the same reason Jim Robinson and I only begrudgingly ended up support Romney -- his record on social issues was abysmal. Too many Christians and social conservatives knew Romney wouldn't champion social issues and didn't think they could trust him.

I think he would have been acceptable if he had been elected on those issues. But, hundreds of thousands of other evangelicals didn't agree and didn't show up to vote for him.
