Don't give in to the capitulators. Hang in there. Some of us have been here for more than a decade and we are disappointed in what Free Republic has become, but it is only because those of us who are willing to stand for principles are either sitting quietly or have moved on. I will stay and fight. Free Republic means a lot to me even though it is now overrun by appeasers and capitulators. Our job is to bring them back into the fold. Our job is to convince them to stop their retreat and turn and fight for conservative principles.
IMHO Jim Robinson made a mistake by backing the Romney/Ryan ticket before the convention. Free Republic was the rebellion and I had hoped that we would continue our rebellion through the convention and let it be known that if Romney is going to win this election he will need to do it with the Liberal votes he seems to covet. Now he can take the conservative votes for granted only because we fear Obama more than we cherish our principles.
Stick around Finny. We need guys like you.
The chaos that was expanding at FR was counter productive to Freeper efforts compounding, to get down ticket real conservatives elected. Freepers are not liek the majority of conservative voters. We tend to influence conservative voters and enliven them to get out and do something to change the dynamic.
Spitting at each other so degrades that compounding effort as to make us axelrod enablers! Stop spitting on your fellow Freepers, PM.
Why should she stick around?
Her posting history shows a genuine way THROUGH this fustercluck.
"Even a little Christmas tree light has all the power of the Hoover Dam behind it."
Well, FR was that Hoover Dam, or so it seemed.
