I agree with the most of the posters above. I have not been a Romney booster but I have stated my plans for voting for him IF he’s the nominee (still voting Newt here in CA). I don’t think I am deluded about Romney being a conservative, I just think he is head and shoulders above Obama in many of the respects cited earlier on this thread.

But given JimRob’s post about what FR is and comments that are being made and etc., I have gotten the opinion that we aren’t to post such comments or we may get banned? Am I wrong?

I respect that this is JimRob’s site and he doesn’t want it made into a Romney-For-President board. That’s his perogative. But it makes me wonder, how are we supposed to tiptoe around the election? It’s the major things on the minds of FReepers for the next several months.

Shall I cheer if Obama’s ahead? Groan if Romney scores a debate point? Or are we all gathering behind a third party candidate?

I think the major meme right now is, for heaven’s sake, support Newt - and I am. I was before Santorum dropped out, even. But the odds are long. If Romney is indeed the (R) candidate, what are we to do? Stay silent? Root for the oppposition?

Good questions, I know what I am doing and it isn't being a lemming and following the freerepublic crowd over the cliff.

I am personally very disappointed in the leadership here that want's us to do just that.

I joined FR after being a multi year lurker because I feel so strongly about Obama having to be defeated. Like you I am aware of JR position on Romney and like you I wonder if we will be permitted to speak our minds as the campaign develops.

If Romney is in fact the nominee, I cannot imagine us all not getting behind him in order to get rid of Obama. Is supporting Romney a bootable offense?

I don't post comments much anymore.
