Newbie to Free Republic

Me

[TPD_Jim.Smith]

I am new to Free Republic. I look forward to being a small part of this community.

I see by many of the postings that most of the posters on this website are ANTI-Romney. That is good because I am too. I am a conservative from Tallahassee, Florida.

I am torn between Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. Reading some of the postings I see there are passionate folks on the Newt side as well as on the Rick side.

I am leaning toward Rick Santorum because I think he can best beat Romney in the Primary and frankly I think ANYONE can beat Obama in the general. So my gut tells me to support the most conservative in the race.

I am also a Christian Homeschooling dad so you might see why I favor Rick Santorum but I can support Newt in the general election should he win the nomination. I don't think I can stomach voting for Romney though.

Any advise for a newbie?

I forgot to label this gif, so I don't know if this is *sticky-fingers* Jim Smith or *sticky-fingers* Shibumi. :)

The more the merrier !
Now if we insurgents only had some kinda command structure   :-\

Btw, I was born just a little ways north of your road sign.
Southern Illinois, where the rivers meet and it's a steambath ~8mos/yr.
It made two-a-day football practices a true /joy in August .. lol

Another fun fact: my birthplace is just about the same south latitude as Richmond, w/many divided loyalties thereabouts during CWI.

...I will vote for Romney.

“of the ‘alphabet agencies’, and he’s told me that my dossier’s 2” thick. I won’t be getting on a train car alive, either...”
Don’t worry ,it’s used to stop the table wobbling.
Too examine it would spill the coffee! :)

Let the ceremonial hazing commence!
Light the green fires, bring forth the typo inducing coffee!
Play that grand old song Hot Cross Buns while dancing the ants in the pants dance, this time with real ants!
[Unlike last time when we had the applicant dancing with a seal strapped to his back. Ugh, what a mess that was.]

Florida has three FR chapters. Living in Tallahassee, you are automatically a member of the Northern FR Chapter. No dues, no meetings, no mandates, just activism and fraternity when you want it.

Available to all Florida freepers is a restricted Florida state forum for chapter announcements, activism and interaction. Freepmail your Northern Chapter Leader, “Saminfl” to introduce yourself and for info how to access the state forum.

If there are any other Florida newbies on this thread and I can be of help with info, please freepmail me at “MinuteGal”.

We're fresh out of ants, unless you mean "Aunts." Otherwise, I've got some horseshoe crabs and a few really nice camel spiders.

...and concerning the "seal" incident, if you had followed my advice and used the pop star "Seal," it would never had happened.

[TPD_Jim.Smith]

So here I am again. I have been reading a lot of posts and not posting anything. I think I will start posting soon. Thanks for all the advise, I think I might stick around FR for awhile.

Regards,

Jim Smith
