Romney is a liberal. Republicans will do what he wants because they won’t go against an R pres
Dosent matter I live in California, Obama had already won this state
Won’t vote for pres but conservatives down the ticket.
It is possible for conservatives in good faith to disagree about whether or not to vote for Romney, and to remain conservatives none the less. I do not plan to vote for him, but I respect the opinion of those who do.
And if I were a mod here, anyone who used an word ending in "-bot" to refer to another Freeper would immediately have their posting privileges revoked for a two week cool-off period.
Polls have shown MA is about equally divided between liberal and conservative. Remember, Reagan carried MA both times. However, the MA GOP is liberal, so neither major party ever offers us a truly conservative candidate.
Our last conservative governor (as opposed to Republicans Weld, Celucci, Swift and Romney) was Ed King, back in the 80s -- and he was a Democrat!
I am in a quite a position. You and others claim that if I do not vote for Mitt, it counts for Obama. It follows that if I do not vote for Obama, it counts for Romney. My vote then counts for three people!
Well, I've been on this forum since 1998....and I know Carlo3b, the poster of this thread, as one of FR's finest.
He's had the most undeserved aspersions cast against him in remarks by the Obama supporters and potty-mouths, but he takes it all in stride and rebuts robustly.
Who is he? I know him as a fellow freeper, a great conservative, entrepeneur.....and a gentleman. He's an accomplished chef, restauranteur, author and designer. He's the father of five and grandfather of five.
Many freepers have long enjoyed his vanity posts on such holidays as Thanksgiving and Christmas where he recalls warm memories of past years in the busy Italian family kitchens of yesterday....the grandmas, the aunts, the mothers, the patriarchs, the little kids, the bubbling pots of sauces, the togetherness. Carlos' beautifully-written posts bring back memories for all of us.
As "Bahama Mama", I organized three fund-raising FR cruises to the Caribbean. When I needed table or game prizes I could call on Carlo to donate bound copies of the marvelous freeper "Clinton Legacy Cookbook" to help the cause. He would ship a case of the books to me to take on the cruises....and what wonderful prizes they were.
Carlo put the cookbook together, edited it, wrote witty copy for it and published it. It contains recipes from scores of freeper, both past and present. What a great legacy from FR's chef-in-chief!
Again, thanks for your many donations in our fund-raising efforts, FRiend. You're a warm, caring man....and scarcely deserving of the remarks and disparaging name-calling of bitter, unhappy people.
Freep On, folks....and Bon Appetite!

“Don’t do it!!!! It becomes a grave mortal sin on your soul
if you vote for anyone who has legislated abortion, no matter their level of government.”
Wrong. If you don’t vote and allow someone like Obama who thinks that even babies who survive abortion should be allowed to die...
That is a mortal sin.
If my wife of 25 years had browbeat and lectured me 1/10 as badly as these Mittbots, she would have never been my wife.
I've never felt any compunction to be lectured to. Mittbots would be well served to just STFU on FR...they aren't helping their cause.
We understand the importance of this election, but we also understand that John McCain likely would have been as bad as Obama. The only saving grace he had was Sarah. If the Republican Party continues to disregard/denigrate Sarah and Tea Partiers, then why should we vote for someone who thinks he doesn't need our vote?
Put another way, here's a bit of Josey Wales logic for you:
"Mittbots, quit peeing down my back and telling me it's raining."
Fact: Your “honorable” man said that sodomites adopting children is the American way. In May of this year, he said that “two people of the same gender who love each other”, or, more accurately put, two sodomites who play in each others’ feces OR two women who violate each other with toys, should be able to adopt children.
Is that “honorable?” Do you agree with him?
In other words, you have to abandon your principles, give up all integrity, become a liar and a shapeshifter, and pander shamelessly to whomever your audience is at the moment. Yep....no wonder you're hot for Willard!
It's hard to even wrap a healthy brain around idiocy of such magnitude.
That's rich coming from you. Judging by all the bandwidth you've wasted on your homepage, you corner the market on idiocy.
Needed to be not only repeated... but emphasized.
It is one thing to disagree but another to call names and be disrespectful. To disagree is what made America the land I love, but to be hateful falls right into the hands of the progressives and makes no sense at all. Think before you post. I too am for Romney, he is a business man and that is what America needs now, not some uber right wing or uber left wing nuts. We need to win this election! If Obama gets a second term this venue will be gone, there will be no more opinion sites especially conservative ones.
Wow! Zing. Good one! You’re so clever.
Clear proof that Hyperbole, and Hypocrisy are paternal twins..
I've also reconfirmed that the evolution of a flame-war, hasn't changed over the years.. It really further proves that you don't always get wiser as you get older.. Whatever.. LOL
I knew that my well thought-out essay (eyes crossed), would tease the BEAST that lurks not so stealthily beneath the the tissue thin surface of our beloved FR..
SOoooooo, why did I post it?
THERE IS ONLY 3 MONTHS LEFT BEFORE THIS HISTORIC ELECTION!
We desperately need to come to a consensuses.. Shutting off debate hasn't brought about a satisfactory result.. Flame-wars hasn't worked so well either.. DUH!
I'm not looking for agreement, not even stalemate.. We need a plan..
MOST on this site want to bring our Country back from the BRINK.. Some do not.. Some are here to undermine our effort to unseat the Commie regime, currently occupying our White House and most of Congress..
WE NEED A WORKABLE PLAN, to get our first priority accomplished.. Kick Obama, and his comrades, out of our White House, out of our businesses, out of our lives.. If we can't agree on that simple FACT, we are doomed, not only in this election, but probably, forever..
We need to set a common goal to get through this election.. I really am disappointed with how we got to this point in ending up with our current nominee, Mitt Romney.. He wasn't my 1st choice, nor was he my 2nd..
Here is the rub, he may be the only man with a resume, and background to get the job done until we can fix the BIG problem for the next election primary..
I believe the current landscape is promising.. The Tea Party has taught everyone that we are still in control when we actually VOTE.. Manipulated Polls, are meaningless at this time in the election cycle..
Please understand, I do not propose to have the wisdom to assuage the disbelievers,(although, you are free to disagree).. I am asking the proponents, of the situation that I am outlining to describe a plan that accomplishes the PRIORITY GOAL, THIS TIME, UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES!
I don't want to look back on Nov 7th, and think I didn't do my part to change the results..
