Welcome to freerepublic, you almost sound like a retread.

What was in post 199 that drew that frivolous, and hostile avoidance? Does a simple question about Romney and an explanation to clear up your ignorance about Reagan call for that?

You refuse to respond to post 87, and you refuse to respond to history on Reagan and Romney after repeatedly using him in your liberal arguments.

If you are a nooby that refuses to respond to posts and engage with the conservatives here, then why sign up and post?

Get the person that you support nominated to the head of the Republican ticket and that person has my vote. It’s really easy to understand.

Since you just signed up, and are an instant and heavy poster yet refuse to respond to conservative posters, you really do look like a retread, a rather liberal one.

Please, for your own sanity, have the administrator delete my account. If it makes you happy it will make me happy. I vote for Romney or the nominated person at the top of the Republican ticket.

Why won’t you just respond to posts like post 87 which was relevant to your Romney promoting and a direct question addressed to you, or 60 and 73 which are related to your ignorance of Reagan and specifically addressed your comparing Romney to Reagan?

Why instead keep lashing out with snarky posts?

When a guy who has only been here 3 weeks is already raging at people avoiding some posters, and appearing to already have some personal hostility to others, he sure looks like a retread.

admin, this person seems to have a huge isse with me and in particular the fact that I will not engage in a debate that we both already know the outcome. Therefore, please remove my account because I did not come here for this. Thanks and good luck.

A poster’s opinions are relevant-—the sign up date isn’t.

Post 87 has nothing to do with debate, and I’m not here to debate, and FR isn’t a debate site

The way you promote Romney and use Reagan, while avoiding our responses to your posts, indicates that you are here to sell something, something that we don’t want.

In this case his sign up date is relevant, and it reinforces the suspicion that he is a retread.

The authentic quote is supposed to be.

“National Review will support the rightward most viable candidate.”

“At National Review today, there’s an interesting piece of history from Neal Freeman, who was present at the creation of the “Buckley Rule” by William F. himself at an NR meeting in 1964, when the magazine decided to editorially endorse Barry Goldwater over Nelson Rockefeller (who, believe it or not, had support on the magazine’s board). According to Freeman, the exact formulation of the “Buckley Rule” was: “National Review will support the rightwardmost viable candidate.” But Buckley had a somewhat different way of interpreting “viable” than does Rove:

We all knew what “viable” meant in Bill’s lexicon. It meant somebody who saw the world as we did. Somebody who would bring credit to our cause. Somebody who, win or lose, would conservatize the Republican party and the country. It meant somebody like Barry Goldwater.”

It can be. I've been posting for only three years, but when I see someone pushing the queer agenda or something similar, I hover over the name, and most of the time the signup date will be 2013 or 2014.

“So just who do you think he would have been a Good president for? “

“good” is a relative and subjective term. Romney would have been a much better president than BO, but there are those here who are hung up on his religion, and will make all sorts of excuses as to why they didn’t support his candidacy, resulting in the current mess we have. well you got your wish and Romney didn’t win, and now America must suffer the consequences. However, i must agree that Romney would be a huge mistake if we hope to defeat Hillary in 2016.

‘The way you promote Romney and use Reagan, while avoiding our responses to your posts, indicates that you are here to sell something, something that we don’t want.’

Are you speaking for all Freepers? have they elected you to be the judge, jury and executioner for this site? if someone holds a differing opinion than you about Romney, but will support whomever is the GOP 2016 nominee, who are you to suggest that they don’t belong here? will we be asked to genuflect to you in future posts?

Which liberal are you trying to push for 2016?

Or are you just trying to soften us up for any liberal that emerges?

Support for abortion and for the rights of sick perverts to adopt and abuse children is every bit as evil and toxic, regardless of who's behind it---Hillary or Romney, it doesn't matter.

AMEN.

Not a single conservative action folks. they cannot point to a single conservative action. How is that ANY DIFFERENT from a liberal promoting a Democrat? In fact many Democrats have proven records with conservative positions, votes, actions in them. Even Barry and Hillary have Pro traditional marriage on their side. How pathetic does it get to support a guy that can’t even match Barak Obama for conservatism?

What you say is absolutely true.

When the Republican party nominates for president of America -- a Republican -- who acts in lockstep with the Democrat agenda in expanding government control and power over every aspect of our lives ---

Is it realistic to think the Republican party would kick Romney out on his ear the same way the Democrat party would kick out Ted Cruz if he switched parties and attempted to bring a much-limited government agenda to the Democrat party?

Or is it more realistic to acknowledge that it's time for limited government conservatism to go Second Party? Voting for Republicans to carry that banner is a crap shoot so shaky that if you vote for Romney, you're in fact actually voting to HARM limited government conservatism! Oh, wait -- you won't be voting for that, you'll be voting against Hillary, or whoever the next nightmare is. Yeah, that's why I have to vote for a liberal -- to stop a worse one!

The sooner conservatives understand that voting "against" is total poppycock, the sooner we'll start making progress turning things right.

I vote for Romney ... End of debate. You guys gave us Obama, and I want no part of that.

Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! You gave me Obama because you didn't vote my way for a liberal, waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

No wonder the Republican party has been such a loser in terms of enacting conservative government over the past 30 years.

Such a huge mischaracterization.

It's not his religion I object to, and most of the freepers who have been against him as well. It's his progressive liberalism and his constant lying.

But you know that, you've been here a long time and this has been hashed out over and over and over again.

The real question is, why do you have to lie about him and his detractors?

Mitt Romney stated he was Pro-Life in January 2012 and then after the primaries were finished, on August 27th, 2012, he came out and stated he had always supported Abortion in cases of Rape, Incest, Life, and Health of the mother.

Mitt Romney stated he was a conservative at CPAC, and then came out in support of Gay Adoption, Gays in the Military, Gays in the Boy Scouts, after he had single-handedly rammed through Gay Marriage in Massachusetts.

While Governor he taxed everything that moved.

While Governor, Mitt Romney whole-heartedly supported Global Warming.

While Governor, Mitt Romney supported McCain's Amnesty (Comprehensive Immigration Reform).

While running for President in the Primaries, he took a position of making it impossible for Illegals to work and get Social Services in the US thereby forcing them to self-deport. After he lost the election and just recently he came out in full support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Amnesty).

He knows nothing of the proper role of Government as described by the Constitution (limited) and to prove that, he has had no policies that could be described and decreasing the size and scope of Government.

Finally, while running for President, he stated he wanted to implement his socialized Medicine scheme, RomneyCare, in all 50 states.

So, in short, his religion really wasn't the issue, His Progressive Liberal policy positions and History was.
