Never thought as a loyal long time member of FR who has never voted D for president that I would be called stupid for supporting one GOP primary candidate over another.

Please consider this perspective. The Democratic Party you once knew is now highjacked by hard left Marxist. The Republican Party you now identify with is your old Democratic Party. True conservatives only have the Tea Party, which is unfortunately not on the ballot anywhere.
See tagline.
Around here you do what you’re told.
I get your angst. I have been out of sync with powers that be here myself before...and got banned for a year over it.
Bush amnesty...2005-2006
But this time..I am on the launch side of the ZOT
You have been here since 1999 noexcuses...
JR has made it crystal clear that this forum will never brook a pro abortion, pro gun control, pro homosexual agenda.
Mitt Romney has been all of that and more in spades his whole career and has only changed any of those positions since he decided to run for president.
And on healthcare he is still justifying Romneycare which is the mothership of Obamacare...
There is not enough TV ads or media and GOP establishment coverage to change those facts.
and the Democrats will use that...the only thing Mitt can really rally against Obama on is foreign policy and his loose claim that as an LBO operator he can turn the country around fiscally...and given I have never liked LBOs and the media will rip him to shreds over that I doubt it will do much.
So crying about JR zotting Romneybots has no grounds.
JR is simply enforcing the creed of the place that has been intact for 14 years.
IS Newt perfect...no...but imperfect as he is, he is last man standing against Romney and he exponentially reflects the views held here on the forum and in Fresno better than Romney. Most folks here have wandered about from Palin to Bachmann to Perry to Rick to Cain and so forth...either all or partly and ended at Newt by default as the anti Romney and he is up to it...considering he is like David against Goliath he is faring not too bad...
I see the posters up and down all these threads and find many folks taking issue with all this are often found not to be social conservatives and that is not surprising. Underneath, that is what this is all about....no reflection on you...I don't recall your positions on those issues.
Santorum is another matter, God love him...hope he drops out tonight.
