I agree. I don’t understand the mentality.

Rather lose than win just to meet their specific agenda and, worse yet, the strength of their party.

Their pity party affects every conservative and the health of our nation.

Sometimes you just have to hold your nose rather than put it up in the air and walk away.

“If Obama is re elected it won’t be the stupid cattle mentality folks of the left I will blame but it will be the do nothings on the right.. I WANT this “Abort them until birth man voted out of office” and I ask you to please reconsider........Please”

Then you had better take that up with Jim Robinson who is the founder and owner of this sit. He won’t vote for Romney either. Tell Jim Robinson you “blame him.”

I AM NOT A DO NOTHING. I am ACTIVELY OPPOSING BOTH Obama and Romney by voting third party. IF you chose to SELL OUT and be a slave of the GOP Establishment and support the loser Romney...that is your choice. However, don’t you DARE denigrate those of us with more priniciple that lines we WILL NOT CROSS. Voting for Romney is a line I WILL NOT cross.

This ought to really tick you. I show the flag of Oklahoma on my page, because that is my native state and where my heart is. However, I am currently a resident of Missouri. Missouri is a toss-up state. I’m going to vote out the liberal Senator Claire MsCaskill(D), and reelect congresswoman Vicky Hartler(R). However, I will vote third party to keep Romney or Obama from getting my vote. IF the GOPe want me to side with them, they better get some other than the evil Romney. As Alan Keyes wrote in a recent article...there is “no lesser of two evils” when one has to chose between Obama or Romney. In Missouri, my voting third party definitely hurts Romney...for I have always been a dependable GOP nominee supporter since 1976...but NOT with Romney running.

The persons you need to be talking to are the GOPe that have wrecked any chance of a victory by backing Romney. Blame them, not me.

I WILL VOTE FOR conservative Republicans in the House and Senate and other “down ticket” positions. However, nothing can get me to support Romney. I WILL vote third party
***I’ll be voting in a similar fashion, but with a conservative republican write-in at the top. Straight republican ticket, up & down. At this point I’m writing in Palin.

***Free Republic is not a republican website. It is a Conservative website. The reason you do not understand the mentality is because you are not conservative.

reminder.... two more Sotomayors and Kagans for your lack of efforts....
***Other than the fact that Mittens has a record of appointing liberals to judgeships, you would have made a good point here.

Actually I am really starting to get ticked with the HATE on Mitt stuff I find here..
***This is a Conservative website, not a republican one. You no likee, you no come here... especially since the founder can’t stand that lying baby-killing statist.

When push comes to shove.................IF Romney is the only canidate then Yes I will put the blame were is lies. I agree that the GOP is useless and they have not earned our votes by thier actions BUT I will not use that as an excuse not to do all I can to make sure Obama is not re elected. Meaning by VOTING and other things like calls, donating and such. I too am very active in this election...Heck I wanted Newt. But that did not work out. So I move on, I will cast my vote in November and hope that most people who think as I do will also. So many people gave their all to make sure we have the right to vote......to have a tantrum and refuse to vote because the person you wanted is not on the ballot is just plan wrong. Obama is counting on people just like you to not vote for Romney...I am sure he and his kind have tingles up their leg in hopes that you do not vote GOP! A house divided can not stand and the goal right now is to make Obama a ONE TERM PRESIDENT.............then take on the GOP! You have a choice and the free right to do as you please but I also can lay the cards on the table. By not voting GOP Obama wins, PERIOD.........that is something we do not want. I understannd how you feel but there is something bigger then your feeling at stake right now..........Again please re think it and do as you want. I am VOTING PRO LIFE.

And for the record, I would never beg a dumbsh*t like you for anything.
***No, but flame, shame and blame is part of your game. Why do you come onto a conservative website and try to separate conservatives from their conservative principles to get them to vote for a librul? What you’re doing is NOT conservative. Everyone would be better off if you were chasing RINO squishes and mushy middlers rather than sowing discord among conservatives.

For the life of me, I do not understand why JimRob puts up with faux-conservatives like you. Y’all deserve the zot.

Excuse me - I am a far right conservative, always have been and always will.

If you want to lose the war, go on and lose it. Take your toys and go home. In the meantime I’m going to do whatever it takes to make sure Obama doesn’t serve another term.

If I lose @ least I tried.

My bet is on Paul Ryan. I'm HOPING it's Paul Ryan.

Geographically great - middle-westerner......ideologically great - conservative......great appearance - nice, boyish, good Irish looks, hah.....great articulation - watch him debate Joe Bite-me, hah.....great economy credentials - no explanation necessary......

GO RYAN FOR VEEP- who could ask for anything more!

Leni

(P.S.....no, we don't want his talent bottled up and buried in the crowded House....don't worry, another numbers genius will arise from the crowd to take his place, it will happen, count on it!)

I am a far right conservative,
***No, you’re a republican. FR is not a republican website.

You like to think you’re a ‘far right conservative’, just like Romney considers himself a ‘severe conservative’. But your an UIN republican, someone who votes for whoever has an R in front of their name even if it means rUIN.

A house divided can not stand
***Romney and the GOP-E think they can win this election without conservatives. They’re probably right, because zer0bama has been a disaster. So it’s the GOP/Romney who have chosen to divide this house. Do all of us a favor, and chase after those mushy middlers rather than sow discord among conservatives. That’s where we have common ground.

___________________________________________________________________

I’m a big tent republican.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=6245#6245
Here’s an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What you’ll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff won’t have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. We’re often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Rudy Giuliani flunks some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone else’s rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy. That’s a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.

to have a tantrum
***Sowing discord among conservatives... Obama thanks you.

and refuse to vote
***We’re voting. Conservative straight up & down the ticket, but for myself, I am writing in a conservative republican at the top of the ticket.

because the person you wanted is not on the ballot is just plan wrong.
***There is nothing plain about it. This is a conservative website, not a republican website. The republicans think they can win this one without conservatives, so let them.

Obama is counting on people just like you to not vote for Romney...
***And Obama is counting on people like you to sow discord among conservatives. You’re probably causing far more damage than any ‘lost’ votes for Romney.

I am sure he and his kind have tingles up their leg in hopes that you do not vote GOP!
***Is this a GOP website? Obama thanks you for all your efforts to sow discord among conservatives.

I agree that the GOP is useless and they have not earned our votes by thier actions BUT I will not use that as an excuse not to do all I can to make sure Obama is not re elected.

What is Bill Ayers was the [R] nominee? Would your above statement sill hold or is that "over the line" for you? I hope at least that would be over your line. I have higher standards, and Willard is over my line by a few miles.

Obama is counting on people just like you to not vote for Romney...

More importantly, the GOP-e is counting on Conservatives like you(?) to vote for Willard and will use that as your consent for the [R] to add infanticide,homosexualagenda,gun-grabbing statism to the [R] national platform.

I am VOTING PRO LIFE.

Q: How many [D]'s will suddenly oppose abortion if Willard is elected?
A: None.

Q: How many squishy [R]'s will feel its safe to show their true colors and support abortion if Willard is elected?
A: More than none.

Willard = net PRO-LIFE support loss.

You can apply the above to any social constitutional issue.

there is something bigger then your feeling at stake right now

You are right about that. The future of the [R] party is at stake. It can continue to mutate into the Marxists crap on the other side of the aisle or come to its senses and re-embrace the United States Constitution. Nominating Willard (who spent more than McCain did the whole 2008 primary to lie, smear and sink front-runner Newt in FL) is a huge step in the wrong direction. Willard's Repulican Party is not only nothing worth fighting for, its a more serious threat to the Constitution. I'll take my chances.
