Free Republic founder Jim Robinson has a message for supporters of Mitt Romney: go away.
In an email to POLITICO this afternoon, Robinson admitted that the site routinely blocks Romney supporters from posting -- and offered no apologies for the practice:
Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency.

It hasn't happened yet and we aren't going to do anything to encourage it, like telling the RNC that we are willing to bend over and get screwed again.

Thank you!
It’ Jim’s site and his rules..All I have to do is turn on the TV or read other sites to see the opposition’s view.
He defends his position and has for years.
In your house you can set the rules.
Absolutely right! We must not waste any (more) time discussing the positives and negatives of having control of THE WHITE HOUSE and Congress (and good appointees to the Supreme Court and others).
Naw, there are many more important things to spend our time on . . . .
Now, where were we? Oh yeah, engaging in erudite polemics regarding some potential President’s (of our own party) being a “Commie”, or a “libtard”, or some other kind of human waste material.
Geeesh!
Well... this is probably MY last post for a long while.. but, whoop, here it is:
I don't think you should promote a candidate who is the opposite. But, I DO think you should allow others to, if that's what they believe. The reason I think this is...
...drum roll please.. as SCMT seals his fate...
FREE REPUBLIC is BIGGER THAN JUST YOU, JIM.
There.... I said it. If you don't agree, I'm probably already zotted. But, I believe it. It STARTED as you. But, it outgrew just you, long ago...
This country is headed for BIG trouble... really big. It's no time for us to be beating the crap out of each other when we're on the same side.
I disagree with your rampant banning.. I think it makes the site weaker. But, whatever... I've stated my opinion. Now my head won't explode.
Well my my. The second poster that has mentioned an “echo chamber”. How odd.
Remember that this time last year many of us were worried that Rudy had it locked up.
Remember that this time 4 years ago many of us were worried that Rudy had it locked up.
It’s a common term. If you’re suggesting I’m posting under two accounts or something like that, you’re free to believe whatever the hell you want. Ask an administrator for an IP check if you like.
What? Cerebral/thoughtful posts? No name-calling?
Darn . . . where might this end up?
Why are you here?
No worries. I will vote for Conservatives, but from now on, only for Conservatives - no more Bushes, Doles, or McCains.
I realize that things would have been far worse had the Democrats retained control of the House, but Boehner, Cantor, et al., are incredibly disappointing.
I guess you weren't paying attention in '07 and '08 when the "disruptive" Romney supporters were allowed free reign..until...too many of them challenged JR.
Not to mention that Romney supporters on FR would be allying with the Karl Rove bunch trying to force Mitt down our collective throats.
You state: "I oppose Romney, but I think not allowing that viewpoint to exist at FR only weakens FR."
So in other words, you feel it's fine to question Jim's judgment? He has guided this site for a long time, and it hasn't "weakened" yet.
Anybody but Romney in the primary.
You’re welcome!

It’s no time for us to be beating the crap out of each other when we’re on the same side.

Now my head won't explode.
Are you sure, seems pretty swollen to me.
If they are, God wants it that way and it's none of your business.
