The United States is still theoretically a Christian country,but you’d never know that from observing our government. The same, fortunately for Christians in the near East, is not true of Russia. It seems clear enough that the protection of Christians is one of Putin’s motives wrt Syria.

You’re the clueless one. You voted for the candidate who only campaigns against conservatives. The candidate chosen specifically to lose. The one who ran like Newt and any other conservative was a greater threat to the nation than Obama (the nice guy in just a little over his head). They fooled you and you voted just the way they wanted you too. You are still trying to do the GOPe’s work for them.

Look guy, I explained how it is.

All your pontificating doesn’t change the fact that Romney survived the REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES and was the only choice we had left at that point. What you or I did at that time was washed away when our Candidates of choice didn’t make the big time.

I’m not sure why you seem to have a personal vendetta against me because I told you how it was and is, but enough already.

Romney lost and we are left with the Obama Regime. Get over it. You are acting like I chose Romney over the other Republicans during the Primaries, it didn’t happen.

BTW - The guy who runs this Site Voted for Romney as well in the General Election, as hesitantly as others here did, try breaking his balls for a while pal.

You and I are officially over.

Romney lost because he did not run against Obama. Calling him a good guy is not running against him. And yes, I know that he knows how to run, he did a job on conservatives every single chance he got. He doesn’t run against liberals. So Obama got a pass. He was required to run against Obama. He had to give people a reason to vote for him by contrasting himself with Obama. Either he could not make the contrast because he is too much like Obama or he would not make the contrast because he liked Obama too much. In any event, he never pressed his case.

The next problem with your blustery thesis is that I’m not a guy, your Bud or a pal. Third, the problem you continue to refuse to address is the fact the the liberals are attempting to manipulating conservatives in the republican party the way democrats manipulate their low info voters. A liberal is a liberal whether they have a (d) or an (r) next to their names. Conservatives do not support communists, liberals, socialists, marxists, or their ideas, period. A good GOPe-trained, low-info republican will support marxism, communism, socialism and liberalism if they are corralled into doing so.

You get your “balls broken” (figuratively) because you don’t see that the GOPe has manipulated you into voting the way you did and you are blindly defending your choice of voting for a socialist by trying to deflect your guilt on to those who could not of good conscience and principle allow themselves to be manipulated. I’ll put it in the vernacular you will better understand. You are trying to “break the balls” of people who refuse to vote for socialists, liberals, communists and marxists with (r) next to their names. That is why I responded to your original post. I responded to others as well.

So don’t consider yourself special. You’re not special with me, confused but not special. I don’t have any vendetta against you. You are just one of the sleeping, uninformed blind who needs a wake up call. Until conservatives wake up those who have been duped into thinking there are two workable political parties, there will be no improvement in this country.

Who Jim Robinson or anyone else on this site voted for is not my concern. But anyone who tries to make a case for that POS, gay agenda loving, baby killing, lying, socialist Romney will always have a problem with me. At least Jim Robinson seems to understand that there are people of conscience, principles and conviction who will never vote for socialists like Romney, even if they have an (r) next to their name. You don’t seem to understand that at all.

And the next time you decide to invoke Mr. Robinson’s name as cover for your ridiculous rants, you should ping him.

The problem was he was the opposition to Obama candidate who loves now gay marriage, abortion after birth and so on.

Don't love Romney at all, but he said he would secure the border, reverse Obamacare and get this country fiscally away from Obama policies.

Yes, very much a social liberal in part, but to me at that time he was better by far than Obama.

I want a good conservative contrast to a Democrat in every race and we IMO have the RNC as our opposition to that.
Sad IMO.

Romney is from a long line of liberals. His father was a Saul Alinsky lover. He regularly lies. I’ve known that about him as long as I’ve known anything about him. I remember his father. So when he said he would secure the border and reverse Obamacare, I knew he was lying.

Mr. Etch-a-Sketch would not do any conservative sounding thing he promised. I live in Florida. I have Marco Rubio as a senator. He betrayed every conservative when he promised no amnesty while running for office.

Just imagine what it would have been like to have a presidential candidate who promised to behave conservatively but once elected, had a sudden and complete change of heart. That would have been Romney. As bad as TEA Party people in Florida felt after Rubio stabbed them in the back, that would just be a fraction of the feeling of betrayal conservatives would have felt if Romney had actually tried to win and succeeded.

You are absolute correct that the RINOs, GOPe and members of the RNC are our opposition. It is a disgrace that they hate us so much. They should just go join the democrats.

My mistake, I forgot to Ping him. I beg forgiveness.

I was too busy trying to scrape something off my shoe.

Again, why do you insist on lecturing me about Romney? I really don’t care.

Do you think you are telling me something new? I have no idea why you just keep going on and on with this. You’re becoming a Stalker. Like I said, go break someone else’s balls.

In case you missed it, Obama is King. Quit living in the past. It’s over and we lost. Get a life my FRiend. I have no interest in being part of your “if only Romney wasn’t the Republican Nominee” fantasy.

Did you read any of my responses to you? I supported Newt, as I think you said you did in the Primaries. Unlike you, I Voted for the only opponent to Obama in the General. Have you lost your mind accusing me of pushing Romney?

You are letting your fantasy turn you into a Stalker. We are done in case you haven’t figured it out yet. I don’t need to be harassed by you because you refuse to face reality. DO NOT POST TO ME AGAIN, the party is over.

Hey, if he wouldn’t have delivered or tried to deliver on what he promised he would have been screamed at by all who voted him in.

Not very honest are you. Your entire original rant was on why conservatives should have given up on their principles and supported Romney because the GOP said so. And I posted concerning your comments that you believe adhering to conservative principles gave us Obama instead of it being the responsibility of the liberal republicans who refused to run against him.

You avoid addressing the GOPe manipulation question. Why do you have so much trouble addressing this fact — that you are being manipulated by the GOPe just as the democrats manipulate blacks and other low info voters? You would much rather hold conservatives responsible for adhering to their principles than to hold the GOPe and liberals responsible for their acts. Why is it so much more important for you to blame conservatives than understand that there was never any GOPe plan for a “republican” to win? Are the GOPe friends of yours?

Here are some other questions you will probably never answer honestly:

Are you a republican, or a conservative?
Do you put service to your GOPe overlords over conservative principles?
Do you begrudge conservatives the right to stand for their principles?
Are you willing to sell out conservative principles for liberal candidates because some party republicans arrange it?
Do you believe we should place party over principles?
Should conservatives feel responsible for a non competing candidate who refused to confront liberals and make a case for himself losing an election?

Now addressing your smoke screen:

LOL! Someone responds to your multiple posts to them on one thread and you imagine they are your stalker? WOW! You have a pretty high opinion of yourself and your beliefs. I suggest that you get used to people who have opinions different from you responding to you. And if you can’t take it, ignore them. Stand by your own advice to yourself and be as you said ‘officially over’ don’t lie about it and keep on posting to them as you did to me.

I don’t expect you to answer any of my questions because the answers are self evident. Your screen name belies your political beliefs. You are the republican first. I am a conservative. You keep worrying about support for “the republicans.” I’ll keep working for conservative principles.

You are a liar and a misdirector. My US Marine, drill sergeant dad would have called you an agitator. You think you are a magician and no one sees you refusing to address the real questions. Cry all you want that conservatives should blame themselves for the non candidate. Keep whining about people who talk about a former candidate on a thread about that former candidate. Keep refusing to address why republican party loyalty is more important to you than conservative principles. Then blame all your faulty reasoning problems on someone stalking you.

Your paranoia is not very becoming. If you don’t want a response, don’t post to people.

I appreciate the time you spent kicking the dead horse.

You're right, I'm not very honest, you got me, I'm an Obama loving Libtard who has infiltrated the bowels of Free Republic in order for you to wear out your keyboard.

My “original rant” was simply pointing out that we ended up with Romney as the Republican Nominee, whether we liked it or not, making him the only alternative to Pharaoh Obama.

That is why I followed the “Levin Doctrine” in the General Election. Everything leading up to that point was mute the moment Romney clinched the Republican Party Nomination.

It's not Rocket Surgery you know, but it might be Brain Science.

Now, stop bothering me. Your conclusions about what you think I believe are pure fantasy. Go see a Psychiatrist so you can work through it, really.

"I appreciate the time you spent kicking the dead horse."

You may be slow to understand what's happening around you, but I wouldn't exactly refer to you as a dead horse.

Conservatives are usually not as sheep-like as you. But then a republican such as you wouldn't know anything about that. The GOPe decides to run Obama (r), you'll be right there voting for him in the general election.

Either start thinking for yourself and stand for conservative principles or keep being a blind follower and vote for the liberals just as you're commanded by your GOPe rulers. Unlike them, I'm not here to control your vote.

Do you know the difference between your mixed metaphors, "Rocket Surgery" and "Brain Science?" Finally, if you don't want an answer from me, don't bother to post to me.

Oh no, did I get those mixed up again or was I just being Sarcastic. Hmmmmmm.

Don’t bother answering the question. Have a good day.

KC, If you voted for him and if you urged others to vote for him, HE WAS YOUR CANDIDATE.

Pure and simple.

Goodness, another ankle biter chimes in.

I guess that means Jim Robinson and Mark Levin were big Romney supporters too. I’m sure you can do a search so you can find Jim’s thoughts on the subject after we got stuck with Romney as the Republican Nominee.

I was a Newt supporter before he dropped out of the Race, not that it makes any difference in today’s world.

I will admit to being Anti Obama because that is the only reason I Voted in the General Election for his Opponent.

You didn’t do the same so I guess we can follow your logic and assume you were an Obama supporter. /s

No need to respond. Facts is Facts, pure and simple.
