What has happened to Free Republic? [What difference at this point can it possibly make?]

Posted on 03/17/2016 3:13:11 PM PDT by katwoman5779

Since Obuma was elected to POTUS, I have been coming to Free Republic to get news, opinions and a few laughs. Most of the serious posts were bemoaning the out of control government and what could be done about it. "Oh Whoa is Me!". Then along comes a constitutional conservative. For the first time since Ronald Reagan, we have a constitutional candidate running for the GOP nomination. This man was elected by conservatives to go to Washington and stand up to the elites that no longer listen to the American people. He didn't go to Washington and "fall in" with the crowd. He went there and stood up to them just like he said it would - calling a spade a spade. I'm sorry, but I don't understand how otherwise intelligent people can fall for the likes of Donald Trump. This man was donating to the same people we were fighting to throw out of office the last eight years. Suddenly he is a conservative after years of joining with the liberals to promote big fat bloated government. He is not an outsider. He has been greasing the palms of the slime bags in Washington for 30 years. He can't even define what conservatism is. Wake up America. You are no better than the sycophants that suck up to Obuma. You can't see that Trump is just pushing your buttons with his rhetoric - just like Obuma pushed his sycophants buttons. The hate I see on Free Republic for Ted Cruz, Mark Levin and all the other great conservative leaders remind me of liberal websites. It is disgusting.

Sir,

I have been on this forum as a poster since 2000 and a lurker for two years previously. Your insults do not impress me, I have encountered many before you that have tried. They weren’t either conservatives or great debaters.

I believe that you must believe that troll-boys must be those who don’t believe in your narrow minded view of the world. Go abuse puppies.

guess you just contributed to what you complain about.

Other posters responded often in articulate and respectful ways. Those I listen to..on both sides of the issue—more than someone who refers to me as an idiot.

...GOPe is venomous against Trump...That helps tell me he might be the right guy.

Agreed.  And I'm searching for the English phrase or idiom that basically says: the closer you get to the enemy lair, the more intense the incoming artillery.

So imagine $35 million of attack ads in Florida that Trump withstood in the last few weeks!  And he won by almost 20%.  What an achievement.

Morgana:”katwoman5779 does have a point there, Trump has never held a political office. He says he will get rid of illegals but what is his political backing to prove this? What has he ever voted on in the past as a politician that will prove he will do anything he says he will do?

At least with Cruz we have some track record.”

Senator Cruz has accomplished what exactly concerning the border/illegals? Not much and he’s been in a position to do something. He’s in government.

Trump has great success in business. Making commitments to finish goals and accomplishing those goals.

Enough of government experience. That’s what got us where we are in the first place.

That’s what I’ve been observing. Some Trump supporters sound like they’re channeling malcontented leftists with their angry, emotional responses. Sad.

You are wrong. My take is Trump is another Romney to the base. Plus he irritates the left worse. It will generate a large base rat vote.

If trump wins I predict he moves hard left to avoid a constant fight with congress and the illegals become citizens and He negotiates with Nancy pelosi for some “common sense gun control”.

Because above all else Donald wants deals. Maybe good for the Establishment or the Rats but I doubt he will move us ad a country back to the right. The Court nominee will tell us all real fast that is for sure

He’s creepy and no one likes him. Especially when he teams up with Romney and MoveOn.org

I assume you think Cruz is a great debater? He lost every debate to Trump you know. And he is still losing in the polls.

You can't see that Trump is just pushing your buttons with his rhetoric - just like Obuma pushed his sycophants buttons.

The funny this is that they know he pushes buttons. They just don't realize that he is ALSO pushing theirs.

That has not been true in the current political season, and I did not see your username on any of this thread. Thank you for your contribution.
