Newbie to Free Republic
Me

Posted on 03/19/2012 1:17:13 PM PDT by TPD_Jim.Smith

I am new to Free Republic. I look forward to being a small part of this community.

I see by many of the postings that most of the posters on this website are ANTI-Romney. That is good because I am too. I am a conservative from Tallahassee, Florida.

I am torn between Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. Reading some of the postings I see there are passionate folks on the Newt side as well as on the Rick side.

I am leaning toward Rick Santorum because I think he can best beat Romney in the Primary and frankly I think ANYONE can beat Obama in the general. So my gut tells me to support the most conservative in the race.

I am also a Christian Homeschooling dad so you might see why I favor Rick Santorum but I can support Newt in the general election should he win the nomination. I don't think I can stomach voting for Romney though.

Any advise for a newbie?

Jim

Yes, we “hat” Romney, but then we also “hat” any liberal. We have never had any tolerance here for liberals, democrat or republican. As for humor, you can still find it here, but there is a new seriousness born of the dire situation this country is in. It’s hard to make light when your country is being destroyed before your eyes and there are so many people suffering all around us.

As for your opinion of the owner — you may well get your wish to never post again. As for voting for Romney, you must be a liberal anyway and this is a conservative forum. Huffington Post and DU would probably be more to your liking. Have fun with the libs especially your socialist friend Mittens.

JS .. it's been four hours and a couple hundred posts on your 'welcome' thread.

While understanding that you likely have kid/household duties to tend to, popping in with a reply before the night's over would be wise.

Most of us are a congenial enough bunch, but if a couple of the resident pirhana think they sniff something amiss, they'll be on ya like white on rice.

What EXACTLY is the burr under your saddle?

Why is a burr necessary for someone to express their opinion on the evolution of this site? I didn't strike a nerve did I?

Welcome, TPD. I am torn between Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as well. We need to unite behind one candidate and soon. My biggest fear is that Romney will slip through the cracks because we are so divided.

I was just pullin' yer cyber leg  

Unlike the old days in here, profile pages seem to have gone the way of our national sanity.
Dunno if it's from general paranoia or what, but a lot of 'em were fun/interesting/informative and they're missed.

But after several big FReeps in DC over the years, the gestapo's had me on their list for ages.
So to hell with 'em, I'm leavin' mine up .. they won't get this ol'fella alive to put on any cattle car anyway !

Very good summary of key elements of Newt’s Contract With America, Vendome, in your posting #33.

I doubt it, but keep an eye on her. If she stops posting again, she’ll be too far under the radar.

During my high school years, I knew a guy named Jim Smith.

He lived in a house. It was near some railroad tracks in a town named “Griffith” in Northwest Indiana. (Of course, ~every~ house in Griffith is near some railroad tracks.)

This was about 45 years ago.

Are you him?

If you’re not him, do you know where I could find him? I think he owes me $5.

Or maybe I owe him $5. It’s one or the other.

I can come to work naked if I want.

I have a friend in one of the ‘alphabet agencies’, and he’s told me that my dossier’s 2” thick. I won’t be getting on a train car alive, either...
