Free Republic

ABO... exactly! 100%... It is the ONLY possible solution. But too bad Jim and FR still don’t seem to “get it.” And now you’re pleading for us old-time FRs to “come back?” Good luck!
When I tried to reason with Jim recently that the problem was not Romney, but Obama... he suggested I may want to go elsewhere. To another who did not like Romney but also suggested the only way to save the country was to vote “against” Obama by voting for Romney, Jim’s reply was (and I quote) “FU!”
I’m sorry, but it took donations drying up before Jim decided he had to back-track a little. As far as I’m concerned, it’s too little, too late. FR is irrelevant now and will cease to exist in its present form very shortly.
Jim... please take off the blinders... the problem is not Romney - it’s Obama!
If I’m zotted... you will only make my point.

“FU!!”

I really thought you were a good man, Jim. A reply like that puts your website in the gutter, and sounds no different than the garbage they spout at DU. Are you proud of that?

Best post of the whole thread! Bravo!

“Oh, so YOU get to choose what “namecalling” is, right?”
______________________________________________________

Oh no... since I do not resort to name-calling, I’ll gladly defer to your expertise on the subject.

“You did no such thing. But then anyone willing to vote for Romney cannot be expected to tell the truth.”

Hey, Norm... I thought about 3 posting ago you said you were going to bed? I guess you just had to stay awake a little longer to call Artcore a liar.
You’re sad, Norm. Go to bed.

Be careful... he’ll hit you with his ultimate rhetoric and call you a brown-noser. Lot of thought in that...

“Oh, PLEASE!! The Romney supporters have been flinging insults such as “stupid”, “naive”, “purist”, and “traitor”.”
________________________________________

OMG!!! Wash their mouths out with soap - those are just AWFUL vile epithets!
Tell me... did they call anyone a whore?

Well said! Reality sucks, but you ignore it at your peril.

““It really is sad. Truth is, we’re all on the same team here, but this issue (which is a big one!) could fracture us badly.”

Anyone willing to vote for a lib/gay ‘rights’ abortion supporter isn’t on my team. And I play for the Conservatives. Do the math.”
___________________________________________________

Artcore... You said “we’re all on the same team here” but unfortunately, Power-guy Norm says you can’t be on HIS team. I’m sure that breaks your heart. Hahaha! What a hoot!

“If you’re so “concerned” then LEAVE”
___________________________________________

You’d like that, wouldn’t you? No one left to point out reality.

No, you see... I too am concerned, and that is why I’m not leaving. If Jim ever wants to zot me, that’s his choice, but like I said, I know he’s a good man and I do not think he will do that to a fellow vet who only wishes the same goal of removing Barak Obama, and discussing that objective in a respectful and rational adult manner.

“We are faced with a binary choice of 0bama in or 0bama out.”

Excellent and succinct observation.

“It really is sad. Truth is, we’re all on the same team here, but this issue (which is a big one!) could fracture us badly.”

I’m hoping Jim will be a wise (and fair) moderator and won’t let it come to that.

“And with that I’m fully expecting to be banned...permanently.If that happens I bid you all farewell.

I’ll join you. I find the hypocracy here insane. A bit of the twilight zone. Four years ago, people were villified for pointing out McAmnesty’s liberal stances. Probably many were banned. Now, many are pretending that never happened.

How can so many intelligent people ignore the reality of what really happened 4 years ago?

I find the stance of “No RINOs” admirable. But the hypocracy of pretending that has always been the case - that not so much. I would respect honesty more.”
______________________________

Maybe Jim will comment on this. He’s a good man.

“Republican enthusiasm for this election will be non-existent. It already is.”

I respectfully disagree, Jim. I think Republican enthusiasm for throwing Barak Obama out of OUR White House will be overwhelming. It already is.

“4 more years comes with the end of the US as we know it.
No FR and no Fox news.”
________________________________________________

Well said! Unfortunately, most here are oblivious to that reality and simply cannot see it. They somehow think they will ride on into the sunset heroically jousting at windmills for eternity.

“Oh man. I hate this, Jim. It’s your house and you don’t have to have anyone in it if you don’t want. And you can clean house anytime and as often as you think you should.

I’m afraid I’m a candidate for eviction. I’ll be voting for Romney and insisting on a Conservative Veep. I’ll vote for every Conservative I can from dog catcher up. Realistically, it’s the best I can do. I believe Romney can win. I’ll show myself the door. Thanks for the years. :).”

I don’t think Jim will stoop that low. He’s a good man. Don’t leave.

“Haven’t you heard? This type of thought process makes you a “Romneybot” or worse, a “Romneywhore” /sarc”
___________________________________________________

Sound like Libs don’t they, with all the name-calling?

“I know that I will laugh hysterically”
____________________________________________

So, that gives you pleasure, does it? You’re a sad person, Norm. I do hope you will mature and grow up some day...

“I really don’t care what an Obama supporter or a Romneywhore thinks of me.”
________________________________________________

Why do you feel the need to resort to name-calling? That is very immature. Can’t you have a discussion in a reasonable adult manner?

“Then take the hint.”

Please, Norm... I deal with reality - not hints. Please be a man and tell me what you wish to say to my face. Can you do that in a reasonable manner like an adult without losing your cool and name-calling and telling me to go elsewhere?
