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.

I commented on this on the Politico’s write up of the story. I’m behind you all the way, Jim, till the skein is tied.

Right now we have republicans who want to keep their seats in republican districts even though they are RINOs. So they will vote against Obama and the democrats right along side TEA Party conservatives. Put a liberal republican in as president and you still get the liberal programs, but those same RINO republicans will vote for the liberal program because they have republican cover.

Romney is the poster boy for this. Gun bans, mandates, gays in the military, gay marriage and Obamacare were all championed by Mittens before Obama ever even got into office. Williard is also a big time manmade global warming supporter having no problem with crap and tax. All these would pass in Congress when Mitt proposes them because the dems want these things anyway. The RINOs want them as well. With a republican president proposing them, all those things would pass because the RINOs would have cover. Just supporting the president they’d say.

But when the people rise up in anger you can be sure the democrats will make certain the republicans get the credit for destroying our country.

Exactly, and the Rat controlled MSM would gleefully blame and destroy the conservative Republicans first, any "Jumpin Jim Jeffords" types would be praised, while "cross the aisle" types would be forgiven to continue the con.

A RINO victory would be worse than an Obama second term.

but I think the ban is more about sending a message rather than eliminating the message Romney supporters push.

The only message would be weakness and security. Can't conservative arguments hold their own against other ideas?

Because you’re a troll with a bloated sense of moral superiority and a god you’ve made in your own image.

"What about the athists [sic] and non-Christians that post here?"

There's that old thing called the "'Free Expression' clause of the First Amendment".

We're sorta partial to it around here on FR...

Rhane, Romney is not a conservative. He is a fraud and part of the gang that wants to permanently rule us and rob us. Out here, we call the members of that gang as RINOs. He is for killing babies, increasing the debt, bailing out loss making cronies, nationalized healthcare, global warming fraud, and so on.

Are you sure you are not part of his campaign and someone who has been asked to sign up on FR?

This decision to ban Romney from FR is a great one. IMO, his shill Bill O'Reilly should be banned too.

Thats no excuse...

A member since 1998 ???

What were you doing during 2007-2008 ???

On the moon ???

The skinny on Williard Mitt Romney was steadily pumped into FR...

Jim had words to say about Romney back them too...

Videos and articles about Romney and his liberal abortion pushing and other unConservative politics were clearly posted every day...

The RomneyBots were busy slurring FReepers with accusations and foul language because we refused to vote for RINO Romney and were exposing his liberal record...

Nobody in these threads was “ill-informed”...

Nobody in FR in those days could say that they

” used to be ill-informed about Mittens.”

Well ???

I oppose Romney, but I think not allowing that viewpoint to exist at FR only weakens FR. If conservative candidates are better than Romney, they can win in the market.

Free Republic isn't the market. It's the concept engineer division at the factory.

“What if I am an ABO (Anyone But Obama) voter, and Mitt gets the nomination?”

Then you’ve already lost. If mittens wins the general electiopn, it’ll be a cowards victory at best, and a complete strategic and tactical defeat in all likelihood. Because what you’ll be getting is someone who does not really disagree with obama on substance, but sees himself as the best one to hold the whip.

Yes. You're even allowed to whine to the mods about it.

How is it you don’t understand that we tried the mushy moderate route and got our butts handed to us in 2008?
