“How right you are Astronaut. If you aren’t “pure” here on FreeRepublic, then you are outcast. Reagan would be thrown to the wolves.
Ironic as hell.”
I agree with you and Astronaut. Then there’s the horrible verbal abuse he is getting from the same people for his weight. Very low-class.....and not charitable at all. What has happened to FreeRepublic lately?
These same types would not only call Reagan a RINO. They’d probably find similar fault with God Himself.
I know Krauthammer is now considered a subversive tool by some on here, but he nailed it last night. We have to defeat Obama otherwise four more years of this makes our conversion to a socialist democracy like Europe irreversible. We have to take the most conservative candidate who can win.
I like Christie for his fiscal views but his time passed here in the last month. If we aren’t going with a very conservative candidate, the current version of Romney is looking acceptable to me. He appears to be a safe and polished choice who is gaining momentum.
If you could get Rubio on the ticket, a Romney-Rubio ticket would be extremely formidable in the electoral college. We would have a shot at taking PA, MI, WI and maybe a couple east coast states while still keeping the South.
Then you let Paul Ryan and Jim DeMint set the agenda in the House and Senate respectively. Romney would follow along. This scenario could work out ok.
Great question....a lot of things have changed here at FreeRepublic lately. It’s too bad, honestly.
I remember the days when folks were outing the media for the Bush Vietnam memos. It was awesome, exposing liberals at every turn. Now if you dare to say you would vote for someone like Romney if it was him vs Obama, you’re threatened as a zot. Bizarre behavior.
