Unlike previous Republican nominees, Romney will never have the support of Free Republic.
I wouldn't have it any other way, I'm a conservative, not a republican although I've never voted for a democrat in my life. If this ever becomes a republican web site, I'll be outta here, republican web sites are a dime a dozen. F.R. is the conservative web site.
I'm about to leave my church where I've been a member, trustee and adult Sunday School teacher for many years. The Pastor (Baptist) who is outspoken politically from the pulpit and whom I've always thought to be "conservative", has stated that if Romney is the nominee, he will vote for him.
After that little message, I thanked him for the warning and let him know that if and when he started pushing Romney from the pulpit, that I'd be church shopping because I'm not going to sit there and listen to him campaign for Romney from the pulpit, where no rebuttals are allowed.
I also am friends with a lot of other members who feel that Romney is the absolute worse choice possible and would never vote for him in the primary or the general. They haven't told me they'd go "church shopping" as I'm committed to doing but I know people will find it sickening to have to listen to that from the pulpit and keep their mouths shut.
We actually have some democrat voters in our congregation and he has offended some already and I see members come and go, when they go I just wonder if his stepping on toes politically is the reason for it. Preachers should tell the truth from the pulpit (and in private) but should also learn a little diplomacy.
