Romney Supporters Banned From Free Republic
Fox News Nation ^ | By Emily Schultheis, Politico

Posted on 11/01/2011 1:05:31 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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.

Sigh.

Please try thinking for yourselves. Leaders may have a use for bootlickers, but they don’t respect them.

JR talks a big game about that fight, then seeks to keep them from entering the ring.

I dare you to say that to his face....notice you didn't ping him.

Have more constructive things to do than attempt to discuss something reasonably with anyone who seems to have little interest in doing so.

Then why the hell are you here?

FR is a CONSERVATIVE forum, it was never intended to be an "equal opportunity" debating forum.

You should just post on the Yahoo News threads or something, they let anyone post and a Kumbaya-chanting RINO-lover like you will certainly get plenty of "thumbs up" for your posts.

“Then why the hell are you here?”

Good question.

I suppose there is some value in a rear guard as well. But I’m off to the front lines. I leave my posting history to speak for me.

Feet now voting.

(Your pro-life bits will be one thing I miss.)

Did you not see (my) Post #499? You must have missed it. So, rather than have you revert to any conspiricies lodging in your heart, let me reproduce it below:

Please excuse me. I intended my comment to be to BuddhaBrown, and I misfired.

Losing nondisruptive Romney supporters makes it seem like they have to be eliminated, because the other side can’t hold their own. Just $.02.

I would normally agree with you, but I think the ban is more about sending a message rather than eliminating the message Romney supporters push.

And the message being sent is, in part, this: as conservatives we are taking a stand once and for all against supporting RINO's foisted upon us by the establishment in the Republican Party. They are no longer welcome in this conservative circle because they relentlessly legislate away our liberty after obtaining our votes through bald faced lies.

I think of it this way: If I ever caught my wife cheating she'd be banned from my life, as in divorce. Free Republic has officially divorced itself from the RINO wing of the Republican Party.
