Hi everyone. I’m a n00b here but have been a long-time reader.

I’ve been a life-long conservative and what has pushed me over the edge and made me register is the incessant pushing of Mittens as the “inevitable” nominee... There are few people I dislike more than Obama but Mittens is one of them! :( I support Newt Gingrich in the 2012 election and hope that he finds a way to shoehorn in on the delegate count.

As for me personally, I live in Seattle, one of the few red dots around here — but we do exist! I attended one of the first Tea Party events in Bellevue and in downtown Seattle. I’m a proud conservative and find that Free Republic is one of the few places left in the world that conservatism can thrive. God bless you all!
