I think people take things seriously when they donate money and then the owner threatens to shut down the site. I’m all for Jim’s stance, if he follows through with it. I only voted for McCain because of Sarah Palin.
I can't, and I'm repeating myself again, see any sense in having Free Republic working to support the RINO tendencies of the current GOP hierarchy. We can't further our goals and interests while working to push interests counter to our own. Why should Jim sponsor a platform for Romney's campaign, or the campaign of anyone else who won't support true conservative principles?
If someone wants to support a RINO there are places for it.
No one will ever convert me or the other truly conservative Freepers, all they do is irritate the crap out of us, and, give comfort to the enemy.
I support the forum too, likely not as much as you but I've been a monthly supporter for quite a while now. I don't think it gives me the right to fly in the face of the Free Republic mission and principles, however.
I signed up as a Republican as soon as I turned 21, and I'm headed for 69 next September, if I last that long. I've been loyal to consevrative principles from the start and I'm not about to follow blindly while the GOP staggers off chasing after liberal votes.
