Purpose of FR and why we can never support Mitt Romney
vanity | Oct 15, 2011 | Jim Robinson

Edited on 10/15/2011 1:54:20 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]

Our purpose and goal on FR is to restore, defend, preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity!!

The goal of the domestic enemy (the left), i.e., the statist liberals, Marxists and progressives is just the opposite.

The goal of the establishment RINO is to gain control of political power, but not to otherwise rock the boat. The boat continues taking on water and listing sharper to port every time the left takes over, but the unprincipled RINOs do absolutely nothing to right her when they get a chance. In fact, the RINOs actually tack on plenty of their own unconstitutional baggage when they're in power and so our ship of state today is in pretty bad shape.

RINO Romney is one of the worst. We can thank him for being the chief architect of ObamaCare, which if we cannot get overturned and repealed, will finally accomplish the left's major objective of shredding the final remnants of our tattered constitution and ending our God-given Liberty forever (they think).

The liberals believe our constitution is a flawed document written in a different time for different circumstances by rich old racist white men and no longer applies to today's circumstances. They're now even trying to promote the idea that the constitution was never intended to limit or restrict the powers of government.

Like hell! That was and is its primary intent! And we who have sworn an oath to defend it, will defend it--from all enemies, foreign and domestic!

And that's FR's purpose and reason for being.

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.

Here's Romney's record on some of our primary issues of concern compared to Obama's:

Issue: Obama Romney
Pro-Abortion check check
Gun-grabber check check
Gay rights check check
Gov forced healthcare check check
Tax payer funded abortion check check
Man-made global warming check check
Liberal judges check check
Liberal appointees check check
Ted Kennedy pal check check
Proven liar check check
Fraud check check
Liberal Progressive check check
Enemy of Reagan/Bush check check
Enemy of the tea party check check
Enemy of Liberty check check
Defender of the Constitution no no
Conservative no no
Works across the aisle no yes
Architect of ObamaCare no yes
Domestic Enemy check check
Useful idiot check check

All of the above plus much more is documented in the RomneyTruth files on FR. Click the RomneyTruthFile keyword at the top of the main page. Also watch the "New Romney Campaign Video" also linked at the top of the main page. Watch it all the way through. I even saw some clips I'd never seen before. Pretty damning stuff for anyone running for president as a Republican.

Let's face it folks, the elite establishment RINO corps hates the tea party, hates conservatives, are afraid and even ashamed to have us identify ourselves as Republicans, feel we are dangerous extremist, racist, bigoted bible thumping, gun-toting, flag-waving neanderthals. The tea party is the best thing to happen for America since 1776 and our tea party candidates are the best thing for the GOP since Ronald Reagan, but what do the elite establishment RINOs do? They declare us the enemy! They went after Sarah Palin and some of our other tea party candidates with bared fangs and talons. Karl Rove and company were and continue to be as nasty and shameless on the attack as the nastiest lying liberal. Sarah Palin was the most exciting new face in GOP politics in a century and would have been a landslide 57 state victory over the corrupt, lying Marxist/progressive Obama. But the good ol' boys, i.e., the elite establishment corrupt crony capitalist GOP bastards could have none of that. Instead, they've opted to go all in with a corrupt, lying statist/progressive of their own: Willard (the Rat) Romney.

Well, good luck getting the Rat elected without the committed grassroots, pro-life, pro-constitution conservatives or the majority of the tea party.

FR, for one, will not play that game. NO MORE RINOS!!

No Romney. NOT ON FR!! NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Should Romney be "the one," I'll vote for the down-ticket conservatives on the ballot, but I will not vote for an abortionist, gay-rights pushing, gun-grabbing, global-warming advocating, big government healthcare mandating statist/progressive for president!! I'd rather write-in the name of the tea party conservative who best matches my beliefs. Romney is no 80 percenter. Not even close! He's the backstabbing enemy within.

God bless America!!

Long live the Republic!!

Jim, there are a lot of good FReepers here that say they will still vote for Mitt if he is the GOP candidate because they hate Obama so much. Like all of us that remember how it felt when we conservatives were forced to vote for McCain in 2008 as the lesser of 2 evils, it would totally suck to have to do that again.

One thing that I think is important to make clear, is that even if Obama wins a second term, IF WE WIN THE SENATE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO IMPEACH! Clear the decks of RINOs like Olympia Snowe and Boehner should be a very do-able goal in 2012. If we win the Senate, Fast-and-Furiious will be our rallying cry to get rid of The Communist through acts of treason.

Well, that’s a real stretch.

Regardless, Perry is weak on immigration, and immigration is a real issue with Rush, based on what he’s said in the past.

I seriously doubt Rush thinks, at this date, that Perry is his “dream candidate.”

Because Rush is no idiot.

And if you have to dig up a quote from Rush BEFORE Perry even got in the race, and BEFORE Perry made his “heartless” comment, that’s really reaching.

BUT DAMMIT, THIS IS FREEREPUBLIC, we set the damned standard.

By your last post it is obvious you do not believe this "standard" is very high. Unfortunate.

Yeah, and fat lot of good voting for McCain did us. Nothing, zilch, nada. Gave the GOP an excuse to throw more puke at us.

What you guys need to understand is that by forcing the voters to choose between a leftist freak and a RINO liberal, YOU GUARANTEE A REPUBLICAN LOSS!!!! It works every time.

Sorry but you dont get to decide who I vote for. I dont particularly like Romney but that decision is for me to decide on, not YOU.

Last I checked we still had a Constitution that allowed each free standing citizen to vote for whomever they wanted. To say otherwise is anti-American.

I would like for you to point out just how it is you arrive at the conclusion that Jim Robinson is deciding for whom you will vote. Since this is his website, he is speaking his mind regarding for whom he will NOT vote, but you somehow interpret that to be telling you for whom you will vote. Are you this confused in all your daily activities?

This is EXACTLY the same crap we heard from the Rooty Rooters four years ago:

"He only did it because the liberals made him..."

"He's a real conservative, just give him a chance..."

"He'e the only one who can win and he's better than a Democrat..."

I am a conservative and from here on out I will ONLY vote for a conservative and I don't give a damn what the letter is after their name.

Even Obama admits that ROMNEY is the architect of Obamacare, that makes him WORSE than Obama.

I will take anyone over obama, you will not that is your opinion, but if the choice comes down to obama or romney what are you going to do? not vote at all and stick us with 4 more years of obama, waste your vote on a third party canidate and stick us with four more years of obama? if you dont want me to vote for romney get your @ss off the computer and go make sure he is not the nominee, so I have another choice

So, you take party over principle? That's pretty sad.

but if the choice comes down to obama or romney what are you going to do? not vote at all and stick us with 4 more years of obama, waste your vote on a third party canidate and stick us with four more years of obama?

I intend to vote for a conservative, if there's not one on the ballot I will write one in.

For the record, I am far from convinced that Obama will even be on the ballot.

A couple of things:

1. A vote for one of the minority parties rather than for Romney would be a good thing and not a wasted vote....especially if lots of conservatives decided to do so. It would (a) launch a new party, or (b) cause reform in the old party. McCain has taught us that "going along to keep the democrats out of power" does not result in the reform of the party. In fact, the establishment appears further entrenched.

2. Better the enemy who is your enemy than the enemy who pretends to be your friend. Better the enemy than the traitor. The traitor is far more dangerous.

People need to realize exactly how the GOP was formed.

The GOP was started by social conservatives who were sick of the way the Whigs were willing to compromise on everything.

Within a decade of starting, the Whigs were gone and the GOP was the dominant political party for the rest of the century.

And yes, it's true that money wasn't as critical back then, but there is every reason to believe that there is money right now to launch a major third party. The Tea Party has raised a ton of money and there are people like the Koch brothers who are more than willing to finance something like this.

Jim may not get to decide who anyone votes for, but HE DOES get to decide who will be FReepers.

Last I checked we still had a Constitution that allowed each free standing citizen to vote for whomever they wanted. To say otherwise is anti-American.

Jim isn't saying that anyone can't vote for whoever they want, Jim is simply saying that FR won't be used to promote certain candidates.

Free Republic is Jim's PRIVATE PROPERTY, free speech DOES NOT APPLY HERE. There is NOTHING more American than a person's right to their own private property.
