If there is anyone here who doesn't understand why we cannot support a slick socialist politician like Mitt Romney, God help you, but you're on the wrong website. We went through this with the abortionist, gay rights activist, illegal alien supporting, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani until someone created another website call WAnkers for Rudy and they all flew the coop. Hopefully, before too much FReeper blood is shed, someone will create a WAnkers for Romney site and we can be left to fight the good fight as we see fit!

FR is not for everyone!

Amen thank You .I am in the right place!

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Jim, that was PERFECT!

It echoes everything that Ronald Reagan said to CPAC in 1975.

Ronald Reagan: Let Them Go Their Way

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.

Let us also include a permanent limit on the percentage of the people’s earnings government can take without their consent.

Let our banner proclaim a genuine tax reform that will begin by simplifying the income tax so that workers can compute their obligation without having to employ legal help.

And let it provide indexing—adjusting the brackets to the cost of living—so that an increase in salary merely to keep pace with inflation does not move the taxpayer into a surtax bracket. Failure to provide this means an increase in government’s share and would make the worker worse off than he was before he got the raise.

Let our banner proclaim our belief in a free market as the greatest provider for the people.

Let us also call for an end to the nit-picking, the harassment and over-regulation of business and industry which restricts expansion and our ability to compete in world markets.

Let us explore ways to ward off socialism, not by increasing government’s coercive power, but by increasing participation by the people in the ownership of our industrial machine.

Our banner must recognize the responsibility of government to protect the law-abiding, holding those who commit misdeeds personally accountable.

And we must make it plain to international adventurers that our love of peace stops short of “peace at any price.”

We will maintain whatever level of strength is necessary to preserve our free way of life.

A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
I got a "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN"? from the RNC. Since it has a free mailer I am sending it back with my explanation.
It is short and to the point and not very original.

Thanks for posting this. I sometimes get the impression that Freerepublic is Republican before conservative. This clarifies things nicely.

[wagglebee]

Ping!

[stratplayer]

Agreed. Thats why this is my favorite site. Love it!

[Free ThinkerNY]

Free Republic is the greatest forum for conservative news and opinion. Thank you, Jim Robinson and thank you to all who contribute information and opinions to this site.

[gitmo]

Thank you so much! God bless you and FreeRepublic.com. I don’t know what I would do without you. You give me a lot of moral support and a place to blow off steam and sometimes even make sense.

WAnkers for Romney

You owe me a keyboard

[Rome2000]

That was BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Here's to the day we get GOP "leaders" to voice something remotely similar.

[Danae]

I will raise my glass in a toast to this and to JimRob!

Thank you Jim!!!

[babygene]

Thanks!

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding post sir!

Jim Robinson for President 2012!!!

[ejonesie22]

I had heard rumors this was a conservative site ;-)

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Here! Here!

We spend so much time trying to find a GOP candidate that can beat the Dem, that we lose sight of what is truly important, even critical: the principles of our Founding Fathers.

We must not accept the premises that start the debates the Left puts forward. We must crush the premises fast and furiously.

We do NOT need the government to run healthcare.

We do NOT need them to bail out businesses.

And we do NOT need a slick packaging of socialism-lite to ensure a GOP win in order to stop the march toward Statism. It does not stop that march, it merely slows it down to a dangerously comfortable gait.

Good post.

[BnBlFlag]

Amen! And might I add “Political Correctness” to the list.
