Romney Supporters Banned From Free Republic
Fox News Nation ^ | By Emily Schultheis, Politico

Posted on 11/01/2011 1:05:31 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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.

Not that I post here a lot or have any significant investment to care much

So you basically are lukewarm about the country...and really don't care????

Can't understand that....

But if one of my kids comes home from school with an implanted liberal notion, I don’t lock them out.

So you equate yourself to a child in Jim's house, you are entitled to come in with any belief you care to promote and Jim and the rest of us have to tolerate you.

From another viewpoint, your kid comes home leading Bill Ayres, Saul Alinsky or Larry Flynt. Obviously you allow 'em in as you expect Jim to allow you to bring in Romney shills.

Don’t make me come down there, my throne just got warm!

Absolutely not! I'd much rather see you stay there in the rareified air of your self-proclaimed deity and give we the people a small demonstration of those god-like powers of conversion of which you boast. Take a look at the post just about yours, #451, from a self-identified Romney supporter. Let's see what ya got, Buddha.

“I was NEVER a liberal.... just used to be ill-informed about Mittens.”

Sorry about that.

I did not mean to tarnish you with my sins.

Problem: Romney will not honor his new positions. He will screw us as soon as he can. He is not a cypher. He has a belief system and it has nothing to do with conservatism.

Let’s hope we don’t have to suffer through another four years by solving the problem during the primaries. It isn’t over yet.

Now that’s more like it.

I refuse to believe what the lamestreams, Demons, Rino’s, moderates, GOP, DNC, ABC and 123 tell me when it comes to that! I’m fighting to the point of bloodletting to see that doesn’t happen but if it does I may just have to clean my toilet bowls on election day........well I might vote for anything BUT POTUS.

"FR is not for everyone. If ours is not your way, feel free to go elsewhere."

I'm late to this fracas - but mighty glad to see it, as it was over-due!

Just a follow-up for the kiddies here that are missing the boat, while bad-mouthing Republicans in general.

Note carefully, the Tea Parties (several together) are working within the GOP to CHANGE it - and they've done a hell of a good job so far!

So comments on this thread like: "I will vote 3rd party," and "everything wrong with the GOP" are short-sighted and unproductive. If you're not happy with the GOP establishment, get out here on the streets and help Tea Party people change the party from the GROUND UP! We've made great headway, but we need all the help we can get in every political district across this land. WE WANT TO OWN THE GOP - and eventually the top of it.

But NEVER, now - or in the foreseeable future, EVER SEND MONEY TO THE RNC! Put your money on candidates in your state, in your county, in your precinct - people you know that will stand by ALL conservative principles.

Jim is RIGHT...

NO RINOS!! NO ROMNEY!!

NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Long live the TEA party rebellion!!

Long live our FREE Republic!!

" Isn’t it good that we BOTH know that and have responded appropriately? "

Yes,

but, I would go on and defend Jim Robinson.

Many are accusing him of something he is not doing.
Some have accused him of squelching freedom and liberty by banning some of the Romney supporters as if they don't have a right to voice their view.
That is not the point Jim Rob is making and some are not getting the signals clearly.
That is not anti-liberty or anti-freedom, Jim Rob is doing nothing of the sort, far from it.
He already made the disclaimer that even if they are Romney supporters, they are welcome, what Jim Rob has said is ? Those Romney supporter who " are out of line, or get out of line " are banned from Free Republic.
Besides ? anyone here, not just the Romney supporters, but anyone has the right to start their own website to voice their voice, and views, no one is stopping them..... that's true Freedom.
If a guest came to my house and I did not want drinking, or cussing in my house, am I hurting someone's freedom ? liberty ? no, if they want to drink, or cuss, then go somewhere else, but, not in my house.
I am sure ? in your house ? you have some rules that you would want your guest to abide by.
If this is a conservative website and someone is promoting liberal views in a way that is over the line, what are we conservatives suppose to do ? what is Jim Rob suppose to do ? tolerate it ? I think not.

Agreed 100%. I’m a Cain supporter. I am simply prepared for the worst.

Every 4 years Jim lays down the law. He is King here and the rest of us vote with our feet. Or not. Why does this happen every 4 years? Simple, Jim has no inclination at all to provide bandwidth for free advertising to philosphies and candidates he abhors. In the same way liberals and moderates are not permitted to put signs on my property advertising their wares. Why would anybody of any political persuasion react differently?
