Freepers who have enthusiastically supported Romney, McCain, Huckabee and Paul right from the start when there were conservative candidates for the nomination in the race. Of course one would have to conclude that those individuals never had any conservative principles, have confused the GOP with conservatism as if they are equal, and they really shouldn't even be Freepers.

Well, now I've supported Paul from the first, but it's precisely because he supports certain conservative principles that I've always held (on fiscal policy and small government idea in particular). And I've been a Freeper for nearly as long as you have (I used to go by the screen name of MightyPen), so let's not start talking about who should and shouldn't be Freepers.

In fact you and I do agree that Romney, McCain and Huckabee are RINOs. So we're not in total disagreement even.

In fairness, I did at first not intend to include Ron Paul because Ron Paul is not a conservative and to my knowledge he does not claim to be one. He is a libertarian, and unfortunately for other libertarians he occupies the lunatic fringe. Some of the things he espouses are spot on. Others are just plain insane and lunacy. I don’t think he is totally in possession of his sanity, so I don’t take him seriously.
