I said, Diogenesis is a socialist infiltrator.
Jim may share Dio's analysis of Romney, but he isn't obsessed with Romney or the Romney threads. Dio is. And so are YOU.
And for the record this is who I am
When you spend ten years of your life fighting some of the most vicious THUGS the left has to offer on behalf of the first amendment, then we can sit down and amicably talk. Let's see how much of your personal life, you'd wish to reveal at a deposition full of Teamsters, and democrat politicians like Governor Ed Rendell of PA, Lynne Abraham and their attorney's. Unfortunately, the threads don't go back to 1998, so there's a whole lot missing.
My brother and I have been conservative since and including our days at Penn State. He established an Intercollegiate PA Pro-Life Conference, a group still in existence today. We worked for Reagan, fought the Liberals in and outside the classroom and at every turn since. We sacrificed a lot for the cause long before we encountered the Teamsters and FR, and a heck of a lot more afterward.
We just finished hosting a Tea Party, along with two other organizers. At 1500, it was the largest gathering of conservatives Center City Philadelphia has ever seen. I sure wish they were present the day the Teamsters so viciously assaulted us (such a gathering would have been impossible then), but how WONDERFUL it was to be surrounded by them on April 18th. And we had quite an array of talented Conservative speakers, as well as our man Pat Toomey, who I invited in person and Steve Lonegan, taxpayer champion AND the next Governor of New Jersey, both of whom I will support with hardwork and donations.
Bill Clinton, Ed Rendell, Lynne Abraham and the Teamsters did not intimidate me into silence and neither, Evan Jones, will you or the rest of your Romney and Mormon hating kabal.
Such an incredible post I don't know where to begin!
Of course that has yet to ever stop me...
First, I assume by your “VILE” comment you have taken me up on my offer to take credit for Diogenesis posts as well.
Most Excellent!
I also can deduce that your definition of “VILE” is “Posting links to documented facts and direct quotes that dispute your unthinking and illogical “Kool Aide” acceptance of Romney's so called “Conservative” Creds and stances”
By your definition may I be the “VILEST” person you come to know, for I WILL NOT go blindly into the night for expediencies sake or to make anyone happy.
Another thing I soooo enjoy on the Romney threads is the irony. My FRiend your post is a full day's supply of my favorite commodity.
First you regale us with a post about your run in with the Teamster thugs, something for which I commend you for.
YET...
You in turn have, and have for some time behaved in an equally ugly way in the digital world on FR, the worlds largest CONSERVATIVE forum, demeaning and insulting what has proven to be, through various polls conducted here, the vast majority of Freepers for whom Mitt Romney was a choice of last resort AT BEST.
Intersting...
You tell us of your years of conservative service, your tireless efforts to support conservative causes, which again I commend, and understand that commitment given my almost 30 years of working numerous local and national campaigns (including running a few local ones) since I first was bitten by the bug as a young 16 year old during Reagan's first run in 1980.
YET...
You complain abut being "harassed" here on Freerepublic, the largest and best CONSERVATIVE site on the WWW for almost 9 years. That is not something I have heard of before and not something I find to be normally associated with Conservative activities except perhaps when one is off the reservation in some way, and that only comes in response normally, not in some proactive form, to the words of the so called "victim". Suffice to say it is "suspicious" at best...
Another YET to the fact above, you seem to almost blindly support Mitt, and I have yet to really see ANY admission that he has had serious issues in the past despite whatever he says now. It would be one thing to say "he's changed" he has "seen the light" but many of his team act as if the sum total of his ENTIRE political career is nothing but a duplication of his words and a few actions over the past 18-24 months. It is as of "pre presidential run" Mitt never existed.
Pragmatism and reality are hallmarks of the Conservative way.
Anyways a last few thoughts. If the opportunity ever arises for my personal life to be the subject of anything, so be it, it is rather dull though accomplished. And I do not hate Romney, indeed I voted for him in the last FR poll, and would have at the polls if need be. But I refuse to cheer lead those I don't fully trust until it is the last resort, and even then I am willing to take my lumps to stand my ground.
I also have no desire to silence you or anyone one. Indeed quite the opposite, I would campaign to keep the "Team Romney" folks active here on FR if it ever got down to a "Rudy" like purge. Now don't go getting mushy on me, thinking that I am being all fair and stuff, actually I want you guys here for purely selfish reasons. See I have found that when it comes to opposing Mitt, as a group, you Romney supporters are our best asset, our most effective team members. So keep up the good work...
