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.

sorry, geniuses, “conservative” isn’t found on the “right wing.”
No to Romney. No way, no how.
I do not care for Romney at all. His flaws are exactly as described in the article.
However, if the election is Romney vs. Obama, I won’t be voting for Obama.
Politico is The Establishment.
Up The Establishment.
Politico is used oats.
Ping!
I thought you’d like this as much as i did.
no offense,
but your copy of the article does not attribute jim robinson’s comments
as distinct from the politico author.
Mitty is liberal.
Meh
Poor Mittens. :(
Finally something you cannot buy. Conservative Cred.
Damn straight!
Free Republic is conservative, Politico is a left wing front hatchet organization. So their story is not news.
Finally getting confirmation on who hit Cain

In case anyone is confused, the 1st Amendment only applies to the government.
Freerepublic can and should keep up the great work.
Keeps this place from turning into a sewer.
Thanks Jim!
I knew there was a reason I’ve been on here since 96
go to the link and read it from the site if it is too complicated for you
This is a private sandbox. It’s owners can do with it what they please...
Ping to Politico column mentioning your postion on Myth Romney.
Consider this ‘piece (of excrement)’ a ‘badge of honor. It shows the power of this forum. Period. This forum stands for TRUE Conservatism. NOT the ‘manufactured RINO brand’ that the MSM and ‘establishment’ feed us as pablum.

How generous.
