Free Republic founder Jim Robinson has a message for supporters of Mitt Romney: go away.
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.

That's a specious argument. No one is being coerced or winnowed into agreement. JimRob has applied remarkable equanimity in what can be posted (pro and con) about ANY of the candidates, including: Cain, Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, Gingrich, and even nutty old Ron Paul. Engage in reason and debate about any or all of them, as you like.
Romney isn't a moderate Republican, Romney isn't a libertarian Republican, a conservative, or an independant. Romney is a liberal. JimRob will not allow advocacy for a liberal on his website. Is that really so difficult to understand?
I'm amazed you can see a chip on his shoulder...I see nothing. No character, no personality, no point of view...just asinine BS.
I don’t know. What would I be agreeing with? LOL
“...the purpose is to champion causes that promote true Conservative principles in America.”
Speech codes, the new breakfast of ‘champions’.
Sorry, I long ago drew the line against supporting Marxists, socialists, liberals and progressives. Have no intention of pulling back. Those who wish to support the opposition are free to argue their points elsewhere. I will not try to stop them.
Then stop acting like a petulant child because dad told you no. You and every other whiner on this thread have a problem being told no by the boss and you are acting exactly like the liberals you “claim” to oppose. I say claim because your actions here do not match the belief of a conservative that accepts the whole ‘personal property” thing.
In short, there are plenty of libs here today.
In order to maintain our ‘Free Republic’; we need to keep ‘men’ like Willard Mitt Romney OUT of the White House. Period.
Is that really what you're after? Seriously? Just to get people to leave?
Hey pal.. it's YOUR site. If that's what you want, stop hitting my credit card.
I'm NOT a Romney supporter... anymore.. largely because of things I learned HERE. You seem to want to kick people off before they even get a chance to learn.
Whatever... I think it's silly.

Do you know what an activist site is? Do you know what "FReeping" is?
As for debate, where in the he!! have YOU been?!
Nevermind. I just checked your posting history.
AMEN!
Why do you hate private property?
What about us?
No speech codes in your house, right?
This website did massive amounts of “hearing and reading, thinking over, and deciding” about Romney during the LAST election. We aren’t wasting time doing it again.
By all means, if you are unprepared to defeat the enemy, then get under the bed with JR.
I can kick Mitt’s ass with half your freedom tied behind Jim’s back.
For the very reason that he's being pushed. It would be Obama running against Obama.
You're a fool.
You are free to express any hatred that pleases you, until it displeases the owner. And who is “we”? Do you have another turd in your pocket?
Capturing the House has really has done us a lot of good so far.
It was a slam. From someone who obviously doesn’t understand what FR is.
