In the days since the Supreme Court decision upholding Obamacare, some Democrats and commentators in the press have suggested that Mitt Romney is declaring a “cease-fire” on the issue and will no longer make it a centerpiece of his campaign to defeat President Obama.

Nope. Go to Reddit.
Shame on YOU.
Over and over, if anyone DARES mention something
Romney actually did, they are “OBAMA supporters”
and you have your Legion of RomneyROBOTS
harass and troll them off FR.
You have made thread after thread a ROMNEY PIMP-FEST.
GIVE IT A BREAK, already.
Try to think: AMERICA FIRST. AMERICA FIRST.
[And where is your magnificent coward, Myth?]
Last time I looked, Obamabot, Democrat Underground was a site for democrats, like well, you.
Obama = democrat = DU = Romney Haters = Good $$$
Nope. Try GOProud.
Liar. After all, calling people Romneybot is just a cute little ole love tap....
I surely show a lot of negative emotions when you Obamabots can't see how badly your hero Barrack is screwing the country. Your hatred of Mormons and Romney may make you want a second Obama term, but me, NEVER!
What a political piece of work she was. That was Bush's #1 Internet fanatic...I can see her now, somewhere trying to convince all Roberts is really some secret genius...using double secret strategy....Like she used to say about Rove...lol
Wow...
But I recommend giving a line in the sand a try. The GOP is going to lose this election unless they can divide the liberal vote; they've already divided their base.
Except for the soul of America, which we are now asked to forfeit, what do we have to loose that we haven't already lost? Seriously?!
Courage, faith, principle - You, like most of our military have lived it.
The lessor of two evils is still truly evil...
If it's a fight they want, it's a fight they'll git!
Perhaps Thorazine. Yes...I know Thorazine can help you. See your doctor to find out if Thorazine is right for you.
Dunno. But there are enough self-blinded Romneybots to make up for it, that’s for sure.
Maybe they just need glasses?
Because that is ALL YOU DO!!!!
I NEVER see a nice post like you used to do of astronomy pictures.... ALL it is is an incessant, drumbeat of Romney hate. At first, I didn't mind, but you never cease!!!!
You go to threads that have NOTHING to do with Romney and post the same stuff there, and then get all OUTRAGED and accuse people of being RomneyBots when they tell YOU to knock it off. That's EXACTLY what you did on the Sunday thread.
You ENJOY getting people angry.
So how does it feel to be called an Obamabot?????
Not very good, huh? You've got a lot to say when someone makes such a blatant charge, because you think it's not true and there's just a lot of nuance, and Romney is really worse than Obama, right?
Well, you are a rude, selfish person. I started out being very forgiving and nice to you, trying to make you understand we are not Romneybots--just accepting that ALL the other candidates have given up, but no, you slandered us with the Romneybot charge, and wouldn't stop with the same-same-same Romney pictures we've ALL SEEN 1,000 times.
Well, do you expect me to keep taking it from you, day after day?
Man, it's got to end.
“Man, it’s got to end.”
Then go to GOP.com. This is a site for conservatives.
On the contrary, "RomneyBot" is quite accurate. It describes someone who mindlessly clings to a candidate solely on an emotional basis, and when pressed, cannot provide a rational discourse on why they are going to vote for someone. Whenever one tries to pin a RomneyBot down, they change the subject and descend into petty, emotional name calling and childish outbursts.
Raw unadulterated fear is never a good barometer for making any kind of life choice, much less a voting choice.
We expect you to DEFEND your Master, the RINO Bishop Romney,
author of ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE and ROMNEYdeathPANELS.
But you never do.
Instead you insult.
We expect you to DEFEND your Master, the RINO exGovRomney,
who destroyed the Mass. economy and covered up
the BIG-DIG for a few campaign donations.
But you never do.
Instead you insult.
DEFEND ROMNEY. Now. or Defend America.
I won’t be able to get an appointment to see my doctor, because your HERO BARACK has won on Obamacare, and you’re folding like a cheap suit against the man who says he’ll stop it on day one.
But that’s ok, right, ‘cause Romney is a liar... Unlike your Obama.

You pompous ass!!!
How can you defend America if opposition to Romney leaves only Obama!!!????
So how much is he paying you!?
No, seriously? How much?
He can’t and he knows it. Your pictures remind him of his and his fellows’ impotence on the matter.
They make every excuse hoping no one realizes that a conservative cannot vote for a liberal. That no one remembers that abortion, homosexuals and illegal immigration are Romney’s albatross.
And their fear that they might have to stand like men and women makes them lash out like a 2 year old on the floor of a supermarket, kicking and screaming that mom won’t buy the candybar.
Yeah you will (assuming he/she isn't early retiring because of BaraqqiCare).
It'll be just like any other 3rd world country, you'll just need to leave that envelope with 50 bucks on the counter.
Nonsense.
I have answered the question to you directly more than once and I will do so again here.
Now, I do not necessarily answer this or other simple questions asked of me by the worst Mitt-haters on this site, because the fact is there are numerous posters here that have completely abandoned reason, honesty, and decency in their single-minded campaign to prevent the GOP nominee from being elected President. They do not ask their questions in order to conduct a reasonable discussion of what is the best course of action for our country. Rather, they ask their questions insincerely in order to waste my time as punishment for my not being driven to unreason and indecency by hatred for Romney as they are.
I've said repeatedly that this debasement of the culture and the level of discussion that has taken place here on FR is, to my mind, a moral disgrace, and is also a tactical error and a squandering of this site's legacy and potential. But of course it is your site and if you are satisfied with what it has become then so be it.
Now, as I have also said repeatedly in the past, I believe Romney is neither an ideological leftist nor an across-the-board conservative.
I believe he has very few conservative accomplishments in politics because his only office was as Governor of a Democrat-dominated state. In Massachusetts he got along by going along with liberalism.
Now, the reason I support him for President now, and believe that in doing so I am not setting aside my conservative principles, is because of the circumstances of this moment. I hope that the GOP will control both houses of the next Congress and that the tea party movement will exert substantial influence on the legislation that Congress passes and sends to Pres. Romney for signature. I do not believe that a Pres. Romney will veto anything approved by the Congressional GOP caucus. Pres. Obama, by contrast, would threaten or exercise his veto and the result is that we would get less conservative legislation passed under Obama than Romney.
Case in point: Romney says he will repeal Obamacare. I believe he will. Obama will not. I oppose Obamacare, I want it repealed, and so for this reason alone I prefer Romney to Obama.
Same with energy. We need to build the Keystone pipeline and drill here, drill now. Romney says he'll do it. I believe him. Obama won't. The list goes on and on.
Note that none of this hinges on Romney being a conservative at heart. He just needs to understand how the economy works and want America to be successful. Obama does not understand the economy and wants America to fail. Preferring the former to the latter is perfectly in keeping with my conservative principles.
There are many other areas where Romney will almost certainly be better for conservative goals than Obama, and no areas where he will likely be worse.
I care about results and I think it is obvious that the results will be more conservative under Romney than under Obama. The whole anti-Romney argument is that he will get in there and suddenly abandon his conservative rhetoric, and that the Congress (even if controlled by the GOP) will then start passing leftist bills and Romney will sign them.
I think this is much less likely than the scenario I describe, but of course this is just my opinion.
Which gets us back to Free Republic. You, Jim, have chosen (whether tacitly or actively) that FR should be a site where those who hold the opinion I do should be met with utter unreason, calumny, and lies stacked upon lies. That is how this site is these days. There are scores of threads that demonstrate this and none that I have seen in months that are characterized by anything else.
Again, it's your site and your choice, but to have as a founding principle of FR, that in this, the final run-up to the most consequential election in at least thirty two years, that anyone who supports the election of the GOP nominee (and in doing so joins Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Darryl Issa, Jim DeMint, John Bolton, Robert Bork, etc., etc.), that such a person has necessarily abandoned conservatism and deserves to be met on your site with hysteria, lies, and abuse is just plain crazy, to my mind, Jim. It is not honest, it is not practical, it is not conservative, and it is not decent.
No one, least of all me (if for no other reason than because I know better) is asking you to change your opinion of Romney or your vote. But there is another issue here, which I have not yet seen you address. And that is the quality and substance of the rhetoric directed at Romney and at those here who will campaign and vote for him. The most extreme FR Romney-haters say that they are the only true conservatives here or anywhere. The plainly observable facts say otherwise, unless the definition of "true conservative" encompasses something well less than 10% of the entire American population. (And if that is the target audience here, then I think the word "grassroots" can be dropped from the FR lexicon.)
The 2010 election showed the arrival of the first truly grassroots conservative political movement of out time. Instead of seizing the moment, and building practcally on the gains of 2010, FR has allowed first the Romney nomination, and now the USSC Obamacare decision, to point us away from practical grassroots activism and toward nihilism and apocalyptic doom-mongering.
This is the least conservative option going.
(P.S. If your only response to what I've written here is, as before, to again post a link to that YouTube compilation of Romney being Romney, you can save yourself the trouble. Everyone saw that before the primaries even started, and the guy wound up getting nominated anyway.)
Until you find one reference where I say I support Barack Obama and encourage anyone to vote for him, I have to say you are a liar and a coward. To stupid to form a rational thought and to scared to stand up for what is right.
