Now, from the above you can surmise that I believe Freerepublic has a very real effect on the elections. To actively work to prevent Romney from winning is different from not voting for the man. It is a whole 'nother level of surprising to see Jim Robinson actively working to defeat Romney ... and doing that has the result of giving David Axelrod a free gift. If that doesn't shock a longtime Freeper, well, have nice day.

No, I am not shocked I am pleased to see such courage. Romney is NOT conservative. Romney will “de facto” be painted as the “Conservative” candidate by the MSM. Therefore, he will damage the brand “Conservative” by his future actions. It is quite possbile to discern those actions based upon his past actions. When Romney screws up, and he will, the brand of “conservatism” will suffer because most people aren’t wise enough to know that Romeny is not conservative. This will hinder, possibly for a very long time, the chances of getting a real conservative as POTUS.
Once again, you imply that Jim Robinson (et. Al.) are giving support to the Dems by “opposing” the election of Romney. That is “spin” and an incorrect interpretation of what is going on. Also, it is insulting and denigrating. To protect conservatism from being maligned by a “false conservative” is an honorable and courageous thing to do.
This stand has NOTHING to do with providing support to Obama, it is about protecting conservatism. You should stop saying or implying such a thing.
If one protects and insists upon true conservatism in a GOP candidate....that IS in the best long term interests of the country and the GOP. To sell out and support Romney for the pragmatic expediency of “removing Obama” does NOT fix the problem, it actually makes it worse.
No one disagrees that Obama is horrific...very horrific. However, if one compromises on bedrock principles (opposing abortion, opposing the Homosexual agenda) in order to get rid of him. Then they are using gasoline to put out a fire. It will not work, just make things worse. You will be replacing one wrong with another and do more damage in the process. Obama is evil, but Romney is NOT the answer to Obama.
You have a nice day as well.
