First of all, not a newb.. just a purge victim from the primaries.
JimRob posted almost a month ago about a so called truce between Romney supporters and the rest of the FReeper community. Since then, it appears the left has little job to do in driving a wedge into the right wing, we are doing it still ourselves.
Were is this truce? How come all I see on here is Alinsky tactics of divide and conquer? Today there was a post about Evil Mittie and him fundraising with morning after pill distributors. And the "true blue conservatives" pounce, little do they know that this pill manufacturer is one of the largest generic pill manufactuyrers in the world.. who produce all kind of medicine, even Augmentin, Azithromycin and Cipro, common anti-biotics..
This so called truce makes me sick. Can't wait to read the next half-baked anti-Romney article and the zealot FReepers who will eat up its every word because it furthers the narrative of Romney that THEY want him to fit into.
I'm not upset that people have beliefs that won't "allow" them to vote for Romney.. but what really irritates me is this active campaigning against people who would support Romney.. what game are you trying to pull? To deliver us into 4 more years of Obama servitude, for what purpose?? It strengthens conservatives? Talk about a phyyric victory. If you don't support Romney fine, but we are all anti-Obama here.. lets stay on focus.
I’d never go as far as giving Obama money like many anti-Romney republicans are doing to save face.Is this true? You know someone like this? You have a link to a story about this? There's a post here in FR where someone says they are doing this?
IATZ Chris.
Sorry, you don’t get a gold watch from less than a day trolling on FR.
Conservative Dude? You need to change your name. Seriously. Like now.
Gee, why don’t you just make a list of rules for all of us then.
It’s not that you may vote for ABO, it’s people trying to push the notion that romney is a conservative. He is a RINO establishment candidate. A younger, prettier McCain.
As you are a retread, we’ll see how fast a zot appears.
Selling Obama.
Do you know anyone like this?
1. Do you know anyone who has the understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation?
2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?
3. Do you have friends or acquaintances that are Marxists, Communists, or have been actively engaged in the overthrow of the United States government?
4. Have you ever been at a party celebrating someone who has been accused of domestic terrorism?
5. Do you know anyone or have you ever been to a party and gave a toast to someone who is accused of being a Muslim terrorist?
6. Do you or any of your friends have the belief that terrorism doesn’t really exist? And that by definition jihad is only a holy struggle?
7. How many of you or how many of your friends have hired members of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide security for your business or their business? Or would hire members of the Muslim Brotherhood to go through and put together your security for your town?
8. Do you have any friends that believe the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and good?
9. Do you know anybody that thinks NASA’s foremost goal should be Muslim outreach, so you can help them and NASA can help them feel good?
10. Do you know anybody who believes that Occupy Wall Street features the best people in our country right now?
11. Is it even conceivable that anyone you know or associate with would think that killing Osama Bin Laden was a tough decision? With that, you have a single friend who in that case would make sure that we have a “blame someone else” memo ready just in case it went wrong?
12. Do you have anybody in your circle of friends or your circle of influence that believes America and Israel is the biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the world. Do you know anyone who believes the United States constitution needs to be a photo negative to be right with the world today?
13. Would you or anyone you know take a gift given to the United States after 9/11, a bust of Winston Churchill, and try to give it back to the prime minister on your first meeting? And when he says, “No, no, that’s a gift, you can keep it,” would you or anyone in your circle of influence then take that bust, box it up, ship it back yourself and say “We don’t need it anymore”?
14. Do you know anyone, a single person, who has a wife or a husband that has never been proud of the United States of America until something good happened in their life?
15. Do you know anybody who would actively defend allowing a baby to die without treatment in a hospital if an abortion failed? That the baby would be born outside, the doctors would have it, and they would be allowed to put it in a closet and just let it die?
16. Would someone in your life withhold needed money from poor countries or suggest that needed money from poor countries was withheld unless they change the Constitution to be pro-abortion?
17. Do you know anybody who believes the only way out of debt is to spend $5 trillion in three and a half years? Or believes Solyndra and other green businesses were a good bet, and that the people’s hard earned money is something you should gamble with and you think that it should continue?
18. How many people do you know personally that would give a shout out to someone to say, “Hey, I just want to say hi to Bob over there and thank Bob – It’s been a great day, Bob,” before you had to announce to the country that 13 soldiers were murdered by an Islamic extremist on our own soil?
19. Do you know anybody who claims to be a huge Israeli supporter? Do you know anybody who says, “I’m the biggest fan of Israel, they’re our biggest and strongest ally, and I’m a huge supporter. I’m the best thing that has happened.” And that when the prime minister of that country flew from the other side of the globe to have a scheduled dinner with you, you would humiliate him and blow off for dinner? Let him eat alone while you had a quiet dinner someplace else with friends? Do you know anybody who says, “I am the biggest supporter of Israel,” and then visited all of the Muslim countries around Israel but couldn’t find the time to go to Israel? And that as Israel’s biggest, most loyal supporter, believes they should go back to the indefensible ’67 borders? I understand it if you’re not a fan of Israel, but if you’re a fan of Israel, do you know a soul that is a true fan of Israel that says, “Yes, go back to the ’67 borders”?
20. Do you know any committed capitalist who believes in redistribution of wealth?
I simply want Romney to come to his senses and GIT OUT THE WAY!
He's simply not tough enough to beat the Democrats.
That's true! He is not a conservative. And he won the nomination without needing us to win it. I think we failed, not the GOP. We need to do better next time IMHO.
This fact is what ticks off many conservatives. Now they want to teach America and the GOP a lesson my manipulating the situation and we somehow become Honduras after another 4 years of Obama.
I say regroup and see where we failed. Because we did fail.
Look, if you don’t like FR, just stay the hell away. And I’d advise you to quit trying to hack into other people’s accounts. That’s illegal activity and you’re leaving an IP trail with failed hacking attempts a mile long.
She took over most of everything past my intro paragraph. We share this account.
But? What sense of disequilibrium would cause you to write such a thing? If you are genuinely not upset, then there is no need for any "but."
Maybe you're just not yet sure how you feel about things. Maybe you're having second thoughts about voting for either of the two major candidates. Maybe you're just not comfortable trying to calibrate the fine gradations of evil that separate Obama from Romney.
Maybe there's hope for you, after all.
Trust God. Reject evil.
“It’s not that you may vote for ABO, it’s people trying to push the notion that romney is a conservative. He is a RINO establishment candidate. A younger, prettier McCain.”
Without the military service or pro-life record. McCain was and is an abysmal wreck, but he is superior to Bishop Willard as a conservative, a patriot and as a man. Something, however small, is always more than nothing.
Idiot ....
Do you actually think they would come out and admit it in a serious fashion? Of course there are Republicans who dislike Romney more than Obama and go as far as giving money to him.
Heck, I personally know hardcore conservative republicans who voted as such all of their lives but are now retired, on Social Security, without health insurance who voted for Obama in 2008 and will vote for him again in 2012. Sad but true.
There are conservatives who are so angry that their branch of the GOP failed so miserably at getting their guy nominated that they need to place the blame elsewhere so they need to teach some lessons by making sure Obama gets another 4 years.
I cannot say I will never vote for Romney but I cannot find it in me to ever support him or fight for his cause. Historically, this means that candidate will lose in the general. Maybe this time will be different having such a bad President today. I don't know. There's nothing about Romney that turns me on and I would never waste my time going door to door for him.
Just like the GOP paid to run Ralph Nader ads in the past and Limbaugh raised money for Hillary.. yes Virginia there are some very upset conservatives who now hope lessons will be learned and Obama wins even if it means they give money to him to assure that lesson be learned. That's politics.
Me, I put country above politics.
