I’ve scanned this thread because it was brought to my attention by another FReeper.

Jim (and all) your opinions of Romney have been quite clear and you’ve been very vocal about them.

And many of you were particularly vocal, in vicious, nasty ways, when there were better candidates; far better(I would say exceptional) than what we are left with now.

I’ll never forget the way in which Governor Perry and his supporters were treated on this forum. But what was stunning was that it was allowed with the participation of many veteran FReepers, mods and even you Jim.

In fact, Jim, you screamed (computer wise) at Cincinatus’ Wife for posting a pro Perry post on a Cain thread and told her to “get the hell off the thread”. Absolutely stunning and shocking. At that time, I thought perhaps your account was being used by someone ‘other’ than you (and said that to those who were upset over it) as you were, at that time, going through some serious health issues. But I read through here and see that the style of telling those to go get F’d is the same as it was then and directed at some longtime FReepers...FReepers who donated and thought they had a home here. Just wow...

Personally, I was initially for Gov Palin. A Palin/Perry or Perry/Palin ticket was, imho, the dream ticket. But it was not to be. And it was clear after the Iowa debacle that Palin was not in it to be a candidate. The treatment of Christine O’Donnell at that event and the entire chaotic presentation showed just how far her organization devolved (again imo) and how disorganzied it was.

She was never serious about running so I moved on to Gov Perry. A man who is running the 13th largest economy in the world, a man who has been loyal to the constitution, a man who served his country honorably. What was the response on FR? Ugly, nasty defaming comments. Perry’s supporters had to endure name calling, and personal attacks with no moderation what so ever. We were called racists, and then accused of being for open borders (go figure). La Raza Rick, Guardisil Rick, Trans Corridor Rick ... with abosolutely no reasoning with those posters at all; and some were even encouraged by mods.

And now look at what we are stuck with. Not that FR had the influence to determine that but I do consider it a ‘picture’ of conservative thinking which, is as chaotic as I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

We are not electing a king but we are trying to rid ourselves of a king/tyrant wanna-be. A man who is a traitor to this nation; who is giving aid and comfort to our enemies. A man WHO IS ATTACKING AMERICANS and everything American has stood for! I will crawl over broken glass to vote against him.

Romney has been very vocal about supporting 2nd amendment rights, choosing constitutional justices, defunding planned parenthood etc. Now these may be different than when he was gov of Mass but we forgive Newt Gingrich for his background and we’re willing to accept him for what he has done and based upon what he says he now believes INCLUDING global warming etc.

I just want to know what the hell the difference is? I have a posting of Newt’s record too and believe me, he HAS NOT BEEN A CONSTITUTIONAL conservative always either. But NOT voting is NOT an option.

The other day there was a thread on Romney and like I said then, I hope Newt can pull a rabbit out because he’ll have my vote but make no mistake about it, Newt Gingrich is as responsible for the situation we are in as GW, or any of the RINOS.

Why do you believe Gingrich has changed and yet, don’t believe Romney when he says he has too?

If Romney is the nominee, I will vote for him. I may hate it but I love my country more than I hate Romney.

Newt’s record coming up. NOT to disparage the man but to show that he too has jumped the shark at times.

I believe him when he says he was wrong; I believe Romney too ......who the hell is left? Ron ‘crazy uncle in the attic’ Paul???

Newt’s record.
