Well, what happened? Why is there not one of those "capable" Republicans in the driver's seat to the nomination?
As far as Free Republic is concerned, here is your answer.
We are Preaching to the Choir in a Church full of empty Pews.
People posting here blame their fellow FReepers for the ascension of Romney while nobody here supported Romney in the Primaries in the first place.
Now that Romney is the presumptive Republican Nominee, those same people are accusing those who are facing that reality and embracing the Republican over Obama of being Romneybots, Romneylovers, Romneyites or Traitors to the Conservative cause.
I am nearing the point of becoming a Lurker rather that an active Poster because the rhetoric is akin to an FR Civil War. I admit I am as guilty as the next guy in passionately trying to explain and defend my “face reality” position, but it is getting tiring.
I find myself wasting hours a day rehashing the same points over and over again as are my adversaries, and we are accomplishing nothing except discord. I don't think this Forum can survive four more months of this, just as I think the Country cannot survive four more years of Obama.
