“I do not understand why JimRob allows it.”

Because he is a good soul that doesn’t want to boot unless absolutely necessary. He declared a “truce” earlier this year to allow ABO persons to post (for a short time this was supposed to be - in my words - a Romney free zone.) The idea being that a great many “conservatives” were genuinely afraid of 4 more years of Obama and therefore chose to vote for Romney. However, as I understood him, they were to stick with that “anybody but Obama” would be better. They weren’t supposed to actually campaign for Romney. I’m not seeing that much anymore. They are now actually attempting to say how “good” Romney will be. Many, not all, are failing to state they know Romney isn’t much better. The sad truth is, I believe, that many were closet Romney supporters that now are pushing him openly. FR has long been a “Romney Free zone” long before the primaries devolved into a farce.

Remember though, this is my “spin” and perception of what happened. I could have gotten the whole thing wrong.

***Well, I agree with that.

He declared a “truce”
***It seems to have unravelled.

***They are way past campaigning for Romney when they denigrate conservatives.

***I basically doubt they were Rombots all along. They are Republicans who instinctively vote for whoever has an R in front of their name. They cannot understand why we don’t see it that way. To them it’s a “simple truth” but to us it is neither simple nor true, and neither is this a republican website. That always seems to get overlooked, time and time again.
