Purpose of FR and why we can never support Mitt Romney

Thank you, Jim. I have been accused of being hysterical when I have say that Romney is Obama - just paler. Your chart validates my statement.

[Donnafrflorida]

Me too. I have been waiting for my check( paid monthly) to donate to Cain and freerepublic..
if I am not mistaken, the first time I learned about freerepublic.com was during the recount.

my girlfriend and I were so pissed we drove all the way to Tallahassee. Some Guy was holding a sign with freerepublic on it. I took a mental note to remember the name.

thanks

I abhor zer0 SO MUCH, was for Palin (sure she’d jump in), and now gung-ho for Cain. That said, milt gets my reluctant vote if he manages to get by conservatives and get the nom’.

[Yaelle]

Thank you for those clear reminders, Jim. I seriously question Romney’s motivation to be President so badly. Is it to say, “gee, I’m great!”? (or, see, Daddy, I am great!”). He has never shown true passion for “righting the ship,” to continue your metaphor.

...But Myth Romney's hair is so good / s

Amen Brother.

If Cain does become the nominee, it would be good for him to have an expert on how the government operates, like Gingrich, as his V.P.

[izzatzo]

Obamney, no way, no time, no how. Never let the GOP elitists/MSM/’rats force this RINO fraud on us.

[mkjessup]

There are still a bunch of hardcore Mittbots on here; Jim has zotted a bunch, but there are others.
He needs to ZOT the Ron Paulistas too!

THAT is a BIG TEN-FOUR!!!

The RuPaulistas are like bedbugs in the mattress of Free Republic, and need to be fumigated!

I’m no longer voting for another RINO. I held my nose & voted for McCain but no longer will trust the Republican Party to do the right thing. They keep calling for money but I give them my 2 cents, thank you & hang up on them.

[Jim Robinson]

I’m not going to vote for that rat bastard abortionist, liberty-killing, big government healthcare mandating, statist- progressive come hell or high water. Obama neither.

[Marie]

Do you not understand that we are where we are because of RINOS?

They have compromised us right into the liberal/socialist trap.

At some point, we have to draw a line.

If Romney is elected, this nation is lost.

If Obama id reelected, then this nation will go to hell; but in four more years we have a hope of getting it back.

Would you rather this nation go to hell with a “D” at the helm or an “R”?

I’m not convinced that Romney would be better than Obama.

So, the answer is to allow Obama another 4 years? This is not a good idea at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

That is not the message I just read. Read what Jim is saying again. What Jim (and I agree) is saying is that we will not tolerate another RINO being sent forth as the nominee. Now is the time to make our voices heard. Now is the time to send Mitt down in the polls and as the primaries begin - he might do OK in the liberal Northeast. But he will lose badly in the South.

But it all starts now. By making it known that conservatives will break from the Republican Party if they insist with going with Mitt.

[Brown Deer]

Romney may be a Republican, and that's questionable, because he's violated nearly every plank in the Republican party's official pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Constitution, pro-Liberty platform, but he's definitely no conservative. In fact his record is that of a statist liberal progressive. And he's a total fraud to boot, with a nasty habit of lying--about everything. He'll do and say anything if he thinks it will help him get elected. He's a two-bit, unprincipled political whore.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

When’s the ‘12 GOP Presidential debate that only talks about all of the problems related to “RINO Republicanism”, “Establishment Republicanism”, and “Elitist Republicanism”? The GOP needs such a debate, very badly.

[reaganaut]

If we end up with 4 more years of Obama, it will not be OUR fault for refusing to vote for Romney, it will the the GOPs fault for shoving Romney down our throats.

[Lazamataz]

So, the answer is to allow Obama another 4 years?

Yes. The answer is to allow Obama another 4 years.

Do you want to know why?

Because Romney will govern no differently than Obama. Not even slightly. Romney is an abortionist, gay-rights pushing, gun-grabbing, global-warming advocating, big government healthcare mandating statist/progressive. I'd rather not disillusion the mainstream Republicans by having a Republican govern like a radical leftist. Let that be the hallmark of Obama.

This is not a good idea at all. Romney may not be the best, and he may be a disappointing nominee, but unless some miracle happens (who knows, maybe God will intervene), it looks as though we may be stuck with him.

Nonsense. I swallowed that shit sandwich ONE TOO MANY TIMES, with McCain. This tired and worn argument, I swore, I would never sign on to again.

They don't need my vote, but if they want it, do not present Romney. PERIOD.

I asked a black woman veteran today about Cain...

Something about her screamed “I voted for Obama !!!”

I asked whether she thought many black people would vote for Cain ???

I think she was surprised I would dare ask her that...

But she recovered and answered me...

She said no she didnt think they would...

I wanted to say “BIGOTS !!!”

But I didnt

I asked her Why ??? instead...

She started off with Obama was trying to help poor people and we didnt know just how much he had done...

Oh I wanted to say “Poor people arent the only constituants the POTUS has...”

Working people pay the taxes and his accountable to them also...”

But somehow I know not to remind a black liberal with her brains sucked out about those white folks...

and she was still going on and on poor people the richer get richer the poor get poorer...poor people ...poor people...

Her mantra...the rich get rich the poor get poorer...

I let her wind down and left it at that...

[Dr. White]

What, exactly, would you expect to get from a President Romney?

[opentalk]

My concern with Romney is who he brings with him to the administration. The Obama administration is full of Clintonites, Romney announced his foreign policy team, which is full of Bush people.

The same old system will stay in place if we continue the Clinton/Bush merry go round (imo). The Goldman Sachs people have stayed in policy positions with both administrations.
