Nobody is shocked that you refuse to support MR as the GOP nominee. Most, if not all of us here fully understand and agree. The rebellion you are seeing on this thread is not against you or your position on Mitt. The rebellion is against those here who clothe themselves in your position and villify any freeper who sees a different path to saving the country. The Mitt thing is just the most recent cause celebre for these folks. Before that it was Newt or Santorum or Cain or Bachmann or Palin (where it started). They hide in your shadow and attack those who they feel you would disagree with - sometimes in the vilest manner (accusations of NAMBLA membership, death wishes...). They ping their compadres and it becomes a relentless mugging.

In other words, you keep bumping up against conservative freepers that share the same conservative views as Jim Robinson does.

In my experience, looking at some of the anti-Palin, pro-Romney types reveals a posting history with Giuliani and Romney in the past, along with softly spoken pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, anti-Christian, even anti-gun political views, I can see how those types would feel that they are constantly under siege from all these freerepublic right-wingers, or as you say it "The rebellion is against those here who clothe themselves in your position and villify any freeper who sees a different path to saving the country."

But I think that it is just that most freepers are honestly and independently conservative and disagree with those liberals, not that they are 'clothing' themselves in JR's position just to be mean to a bunch of romneybots and mockingly hostile, social lefties.

The posting history of some of these people, who would like JR to give up his site to them for Romney pushing, is quite revealing. Certain posters who joined the libs to trash Palin personally are the ones who are suddenly calling for unity behind Milt.

These individuals who insult and berate freepers who don't want to drink the GOP kool-aide, then play victim and act like "they only expressed their opinion".
