Vote conservative only. Beat the snot out of the socialist RINOS (politically speaking). Rally and protest every chance you get. Be loud and proud. Support your local conservative candidates. Join your local GOP committee and help the conservatives take it over. Newt has great ideas if we can get him on the ballot, but he’s obviously a long shot. Write to the GOP and tell them to shove Romney and tell them why. And tell them why you no longer send them money.
Do not roll over for the RINOs for any reason whatsoever. They’ll only screw you in the end.
Do not listen to or be swayed by the fools and tools pushing RINOs. They are not our friends.
Thanks Jim. Your post 296 fleshed it out nicely.
We need to deny Romney.
You, and us together can start a spark of rebellion in the whole GOP.
It is not written in stone that Romney will be the nominee, no matter how much Fox News, Rove, Hume, and others say so.
We need to do all of the things in your post 296, and I wish you could post an amalgam of post 1 and post 296 as a new masthead for FreeRepublic.
This is where we can be the most effective right—deny Romney the nomination.
To me, sending Newt to Tampa opens all sorts of possibilities. I don’t worry about not having enough time between Tampa and election day to defeat Obama IF WE HAVE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE.
We agree Romney is the wrong candidate.
This election is too important to give up on yet. Newt, Sarah, West and other great conservatives can blow this convention wide open and change the course of history.
FreeRepublic changed the course of history before—in 1998 when you led the charge to impeach Clinton with the March for Justice, and again in 2004 when our beloved Buckhead blew the whistle on Dan Rather and the false Texas ANG letter——and maybe we are destined to change history again.
This spark of rebellion could light a flame that exposes the discontent with Willard across the country. We can deny the powers that be their Romney coronation.
A small fulcrum in the right place can move a lever in a mighty way. FreeRepublic can be that lever.
Newt is a long shot, but not an impossible one. You were for him once—are you still in?
I am.
To Tampa with Newt, and to Golub with Romney!
Finally I found your strategy, Jim! This post does clarify it for me. Some of us — me — are bright but stupid. I needed more clarity on the action part of your strategy.
I guess phase one is now: vote Gingrich and see where that goes. I don’t really think he’d make a good president, but it’s a way to say “bleep you” to the GOPe.
November and stopping Obama is a long time away.
Let’s puff up, Tea Partiers, today, and appear huge and in number AGAINST THE RINO. We must stop them from ever taking us for granted again! I wish we could have huge conservative protests at the RINO convention. That would get huge media coverage.
I’m in!
