There are people here who are facing the sad reality that the next Presidential Election will come down to Obama versus Romney, but none of them would or should be considered a “Rom Fan” just because they understand the only chance we have to get rid of Obama is supporting the Republican Nominee.
I am positive that Romney did not receive one Vote from a FReeper in the Primary Election, just as I am sure that not one FReeper has given the Romney Campaign a penny in support. I would assume a true “Rom Fan” would have Voted for him in the Primary, so applying that description to a fellow FReeper is just silly.
If you disagree with the difficult decision most people here will make inside the Voting Booth in November so be it, just cut out the childish “Romney Fan”, “Romneybot” or “Romneywhatever” labeling simply because they disagree with handing the 2012 Election to our Marxist Wannabe Dear Leader.
Nobody asked for the outcome that put Romney in the front runner position, but we all have to face the reality of it. As for me, the idea that some think that letting Obama waltz back into the White House will somehow fuel a Conservative resurgence in 2016 is ridiculous. You and others feel otherwise, but I don't label you “Bam Fans” because of it. Funny how I don't see too many "we agree to disagree" comments on these Romney threads. Very interesting indeed.
What you fail to mention, KC, is how many of you have literally bombarded those of us who are making our OWN informed choice not to vote for Romney...with aggressive messages aimed at trying to make us feel guilt, shame and everything in between.
Here are a few of the repetitive and annoying critiques:
“If Obama wins, it’ll be all your fault”.
“ABO”
“Romney is better because he has business experience”
“I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Romney” and the winner:
“Obama thanks you”.
It is not us who initiated these endless and repetitive responses. And yes, there are plenty of Romney backers here on this site. But I will no longer call them Romney fans as you request but will rather use the term “Romney supporters”.
This is a concerted effort to exercise control, pure and simple.
One thing I have learned is that we have NO control over anyone or anything except ourselves.
Apparently the RNC didn’t get that message.
and I don’t appreciate hearing self righteous pronouncements from some Freepers who have little concept of what it means to vote their informed conscience.
It is all fear based which is not how I want to go forward.
I wish I had just said that my vote is private and not shared my intentions. But I also refuse to allow others to assume that they know why I have made this choice, how it will affect the nation and generations to come and defend myself.
There is an obsession with talking about the presidency on this site, which is only one of the branches of government.
We still have a system of checks and balances in this country. There are many other ways to help the causes of freedom in this election cycle. Voting for conservatives on a down ticket, working for their campaigns, contributing to conservative causes is what I plan to do.
And I hope others will too because this is where our future and our children’s future is going to be determined.
“As for me, the idea that some think that letting Obama waltz back into the White House will somehow fuel a Conservative resurgence in 2016 is ridiculous.”
Oh that’s another one. “letting Obama waltz into the White House”. Who in the world thinks that he is going to be able to do that?
As for 2016, we have to begin fighting for freedom somewhere! Let’s start now.
No more Rinos! ..won’t ever vote for another one in my lifetime and saying and knowing that feels really good.
For those who are interested in being on the Rino train, there is a new series on Fox called “Running with Romney” Now that IS ridiculous.
