I have kept my nose out of this fight until now. I am a montly contributer and agree with 99% here. I have given $100 to Cain and $350 to Newt. This money as I told my wife is for our future. Meaning getting the Marxist out of the White House.
I am in the Coal Industry and if he isn’t out by January of next year I will never retire. I bought 13,000 shares at $60 and now it is $10 due to his regulations.
For anyone to tell me not to vote for the Republican nominie can kiss my ass. This man Obama is destroying our country and anything I still have for a retirement. My kid’s and grandbabbies are screwed. Don’t vote for Romney (if he is the guy) and show everyone.........not in my house! This is not Concord or Bunker Hill. We have a Republic that is being taking over by a communist.
Over the last week I can’t believe the way this site has turned. The F/U’s are flying from the boss and I never thought I would see that day.
I have been loyal to the cause here, but if the Mod’s and Jim fill it is time for me to move on, so be it. This is my life and my kid’s.
I love my Country more than Free Republic.
It is arresting to imagine a Romney White House, inevitably filled with as many former Bain colleagues as each of his other public ventures have been: The PowerPoints, the 80-20 jargon, the clinical separation of decision-making from ideology, the detachment of those decisions from moral consequence, a persistent blind spot for people as people. It would represent the final ascension of a perfectly American type, one that has already remade the culture of business. I once asked a Bain colleague of Romney’s how Romney thought of his own core competence. “I think Mitt thinks he’s good at being Mitt Romney,” the colleague said.
What you do and who you vote for and why is your business, but I’m here to tell you that I absolutely will not give my consent or support or vote to a baby murdering, homo agenda pushing, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing, global warming hoax pushing, amnesty pushing, big government tyrannical socialist healthcare authoring enemy of Liberty!!
And I too am committed to working until they day I die. I already have no other choice.
From the Declaration:
All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
I absolutely refuse to grant my consent to a man or political party who spits onto the face of God and our founding principles while governing!!
Strangely enough, I love my country more than I care about your stock portfolio.
Which BTW will ‘still’ go tho hell when Romney’s Global Warming BS gets into the Oval Office. Or hadn’t you thought that far?
100% agree.
A lot of conservatives simply will not vote for a leftist progressive liar, and who could blame them? I would never be able to vote for Mittens in good conscience.
He cannot excite the base and he isn’t going to steal any liberal votes from Obama. He was the desginated loser by the GOPe.
It is disingenuous or a flat out blatant lie, to state that Jim Rob or anyone else here is instructing you how to vote. That is your own decision.
If you have been following Jim's posts, I think he has stated two points as I understand them-
- He stated his own personal decision to not vote for Mitt. I know it rankles some of you, but that is his decision and he is free to do with his vote as he pleases.
- He stated that he does not want anyone using the resources of FreeRepublic to campaign for Mitt. Again he is free to make that decision for his website, as promoting a progressive goes against everything he has stood for all these years. It is also a good business decision, because that would dilute or spoil the brand of FreeRepublic. It is after all a website for conservatism, not conservatism and liberalism on alternate days.
Excellent Post mmanager.
Well said. Good luck.
