In an email to POLITICO this afternoon, Robinson admitted that the site routinely blocks Romney supporters from posting -- and offered no apologies for the practice:
Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency. ...
Liberal progressives and other enemies of the constitution and or of Liberty itself are not welcome here. Accounts registered here by liberal progressives and other assorted trolls, malcontents and disruptors will be removed on sight or at the convenience of the site administrators.
The site came under fire from Ross Abraham, a blogger for Mitt Romney Central, who wrote today that Free Republic is just one of several sites (along with RedState, he says) on the right-wing Internet that are pretty much off limits to Mitt Romney's supporters.

What if there is a third candidate on the ballot?
TEA Party Independent:
Sarah Palin for President
John Bolton for Vice-President
Interested?
It's late and I have tired head. So, with all due respect, go suck an egg.
The blame for an Obama presidency lies squarely upon the shoulders of the ignorant pukes who believed Mr. "Hope and Change" was going to stem the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. They wanted free money from "Obama's stash."
Leader of the Free World? More like Leader of the Free Ride.
IBTZ!!
“The comments on Politico are interesting and insightful. For example, here’s Juliet Giles telling us what’s on her mind:”
Well, I read it and I still don’t know what’s on her mind. WTH?
Typical that the intelligence of the comments at Politico would be equal to that of fish tank algae.
If you were already making that point, I apologize. I missed your sarcasm tag! LOL
Wow. You don’t SOUND like a moron.
:)
(Excellent self-control.)
If they want to see someone banned in a hurry they should go to Democratic Underground and express an unorthodox opinion.
How about voting TEA Party Independent for a change?
Sarah Palin for President.
John Bolton for Vice-President.
Interested?
I hope she just strings random words copied from a dictionary, if her head really works that way she is dangerous.
Heh...Jim Thompson is da man!
Politico sez so...;o)
If the hypothetical matchup is Mitt Romney vs Barack Obama, I will vote for Barack Obama. I will campaign for Barack Obama, and encourage others to vote for him.
This 'suicidal' viewpoint is making the best of a horrid situation. I have a choice at that point, of turning the Republican party over to Mitt Romney, an avowed unrepentant believer in the Nanny State and government mandates, or the choice of having an opposition congress which might, just might, hold some conservative viewpoints somewhere.
A 'Republican' in the White House who believes in virtually nothing which I agree with, who would be the nominal leader of the party, and his staff who would be the actual leaders of the national party, would systematically purge the party of those dreaded Tea Partiers. And you can just smell Karl Rove's eagerness to see a much more inclusive Republican party that Mitt Romney would bring.
I'll work to control the senate and the house, and throw down the challenge to the Present in the White House, but not so hard as I'll work to ensure that Mitt Romney never again breaks an oath of office. I held my nose for McCain, mostly because of Sarah, but I will not do the same for Mitt (R)omney.
“Voting the down ticket spots is vital to tossing the filthy democrats and rinos out.”
Amen. We have to take the Senate. Controlling the Senate is crucial. Throw the bums out! If we can’t take the Presidency from a RINO or Democrat, then so be it. But we can see to it that the House and Senate will restrain them.
Staying home is not an option.
“Id even vote for whack job Ron Paul before Id vote for Myth Romney.”
I’ve had the same thought passing through my brain and couldn’t believe I was actually thinking it.
Awwww, isn't that sweet.
Soothe is upset that the pro-homo trolls were banned.
Funny, being pro-homo is NOT a Conservative trait.
He also whines about FR.
ALOT.
He equates the site owner deciding who is allowed onto his website with going against the Constitution.
Bonus post: The butthurt at FR not supporting favored RINOs is epic this cycle guys, pull up the popcorn and enjoy.
December12 is not liking the fact that a RINO isn't being supported either.
Seriously, if you two dislike FR so much, why are you here to begin with?
There’s plenty of RINO touchy feely goody sites available.
There’s trewblewrino where being pro-homo is a badge of pride.
On the other hand. Cain supporters can’t post on the Democrat Underground, the daily Kos or the Huffington Post while Romney supporters are no doubt welcome there.
