Newbie to Free Republic
Me

Posted on 03/19/2012 1:17:13 PM PDT by 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?

Jim

Yeah, that Admin Mod is a real bully - always whipping out a lightening bolt when a beeber will do.

;p

God Bless you and keep you. Not only are most anti-romney but hat Romney. That is why I do not participate any more and I have been on here a long time.
There used to be tolerance for difference of opinion and a lot more humor. That has dissipated.
I do not plan on being a participant, maybe occasionally. It used to be a lot of fun and humor regardless if we agreed or not. It is mean-spirited including the owner of the web site.
Very disappointing. All, including Jim, I will vote for Romney.

Be advised that Santorum supporters show up on nearly every totally unrelated thread to complain about the mean things other FReepers say about sweater vests...especially those Gingrich weirdos!

Geesh, girl.....!!

Surely you know...that anti-Catholic's, pro-Catholic's, anti-Christians, pro-Christians, pro-Newt, anti-Newt, pro-McCain, anti-McCain, anti-Romney, pro-Romney, anti-Santorum, pro-Santorum, pro-term limits, anti-term limits....etc, etc...will post here. And will debate....no matter the subject.

That’s the truth. And you forgot the creationists vs the Darwinists, the legalize marijuana vs gateway drugs. Then there are the Paulbots who just generally show up everywhere and post things that aren’t even in English!

By that time the weird “Admin Moderator” person calls for a family reunion and introduces us to his cousins “Sidebar” and “Religion.”

This is one very whacky place on it’s best days.

One of FR's photoshop pros needs to make a graphic illustration so I know what Hat Romney looks like. What kind of hat izzit anyway?

Ummmmmmm....you just did participate!! ROLFOL!!

Either quit lying, or leave.

Define "most"? Please.

And of course you mentioned "hate"....although you spelled it wrong. Your post reminds me of another....I wonder who that is???????

Give some examples...of "mean-spirited"....please include as many posts as you know of.

Thanks-

Jim, welcome to FreeRepublic.

Since you are a noob, we will keep an eye on you. But that’s normal.

When you see a reply, put your cursor over the poster’s name, and you will see the date they signed up.

If you see a date ending in 97,98, or 99, don’t ever, EVER..uhh.......well, you’ve been warned.
