Don’t let it get your knickers in a twist. Just ignore it.

[Tenacious 1]

You need to “American Up”.

Most of the debates and discussion on FR are civil and fraught with ideas, facts and logical opinions. Many disagree. And there is nothing wrong with a bunch of like minded individuals debating the details of a larger ideological belief.

The more aggressive discussions usually stem from some ignorantly stated positions and a subsequent failure to provide some logical support for it. Ron Paul supporters are famous for this (not always). The Huntsman supporters get tarred and feathered around here simply because Chris Mathews gets all Wee Weed up over the “ultra conservative” John Huntsman.

So, I unapologigetically disagree with your opinion based on the above.

[Jack Hydrazine]

You need to first define what is conservatism then you can use that as a yardstick to measure candidates by.

[MestaMachine]

Would pointing out that you spelled THEIR wrong in your headline be considered mean?

[Tenacious 1]

If you voice your opinion lately, it gets quite nasty.

Let's examine that for a moment. What is your opinion, Turdbreath?

(kidding of course)

[MplsSteve]

Excellent post.

Well I like a good debate and discussion, however I get tired of “this guy sucks” or “he will never get elected” or attacks not with some facts or ideas. I also hate loosing to Liberals, I hate it when we dont come together as a team and win. Defeating Liberalism and Socialism restoring limited constitutional republican government is our prime directive. I also understand that FR is where we who care come to debate and that's healthy.

[Chandalier]

A great case for perfect being the enemy of good!

[dfwgator]

I also hate loosing to Liberals,

I hate it when people misspell "losing."

This could be vey series.

I can appreciate that, but if you want anything to change you'll have to take it up with management.

I see the same thing in Religion, which explains why there are dozens of Christian churches within miles of my house each claiming to be the "correct" way to God.

If you've read the bible and understand what is written, you won't be confused as to who is a Christian. Mormons are not Christians.

[Wissa]

Exactly! Its how you separate the wheat from the chaff.

Yup. And when it's all done, we'll be told we MUST vote for the chaff, since that is our candidate in the general election.

[Breto]

Ok I am sorry for all those things I said about that slimy A__hole Willard Mitt Romney the frugal socialist.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

This is so typical of what’s wrong with Republicans and Conservatives in general. We will eat our own candidates...

No, we're not the only ones: Study the 2008 Democrat primary. Plenty o' ugliness there.

[meatloaf]

I wouldn’t say I hate Romney. I just really dislike him for president.

[pwatson]

Bachmann, great ideas but jumped the gun to many times and eventually showed she needed to what she says a little better.
Care to re-write that sentence? I can't figure it out.

Yes that was bad English and typing.

She let the lady who claimed her daughter had become mentally damaged by the vaccine get her to say that and get attacked by the press. (I happen to believe that mom by the way) and there were a few other areas where she said some things that she should likely have waited before she jumped to conclusions. By the way I absolutely love Bachmann and think she is a great patriot. I am just saying politically she goofed enough times to hurt her traction.

[seoul62]

I will put it in another way: the conversation gets extremely wicked. Ooops, I voiced my opinion, I expect a tar and feather by the Conservative Truth Squad.

Welcome to primary season at Free Republic. You act as though you haven’t been through one.

Anywho, from the way I’ve seen it, what you describe are really one or two loudmouths for each of the major candidates.. most folks here aren’t that way.

Personally, I like them all except Romney and Paul. (not counting Huntsman and Johnson, they are static). Heck, even the Rent is Too Damn High guy would be an improvement over Obama.

[Lazamataz]

Reagan was a damned liberal.

Goldwater was a socialist.
