A reminder for those who are not receiving the message:
Romney is a pathological compulsive liar. Lie after lie papered over with more lies. Doesn’t even flinch when caught in bald faced lies, simply tells another big whopper to cover up or dodge the issue. Funny thing, the man actually seems to believe his own latest lies and simply ignores the glaring record of his past actions/lies. And you have true blue establishment elite RINO Republicans like Karl Rove enabling and backing up his lies. Their motivation is simply to hang on to power (and riches) any way they can.
I’ve stated many times since Romney started running for the presidency way back when that I’d never vote for him and I will not. He cannot lie his way out of his decades long record of support for abortion, Roe v Wade, planned parenthood, gay rights, gun control, global warming, amnesty, liberal judges, big government, compulsory or socialized health care (RomneyCommieCare), mandates, Keynesian economics, support and approval of TARP, bailouts, stimulus packages, i.e, every damn liberal progressive issue that comes down the pike.
C’mon. These are the reasons the tea party sprang up and the reasons he and Rove loathe the tea party and our tea party conservative candidates. Romney famously expressed his loathing for Reagan-Bush conservatism several years ago when he was trying to run to the left of Ted Kennedy and now he’s cloaking himself in Reagan conservatism, knowing full well that it’s a lie, but he knows it’s the only way he can possibly win, er buy the Republican nomination.
Screw Romney!! I absolutely will not support or vote for a proven compulsive liar with a known record of abortion and big government socialism, liberal appointments, etc. He still lies about RomneyCommieCare today. Calls it a “conservative solution.” Get real!!
Listen to what Ronald Reagan had to say about the elites pushing socialism on America via compulsory health insurance:
Ronald Reagan speaks out against RomneyCommieCare
There will be no campaign for this Massachusetts liberal liar on FR!!
Damn the libs and RINOS, full steam ahead!!
But no matter what happens we must turn out in November to vote IN as many conservatives and vote OUT as many rats as possible at all levels of government. If we don't have a conservative at the top of the ticket we must turn out anyway and vote straight conservative DOWN ticket!! Just think of it an off cycle election and pour on the TEA!! It'll be doubly important that we control both houses of congress and as many statehouses as possible.
Restore the 10th amendment!! Impeach the leftist president whoever he may be!! Restore Liberty!! Rebellion comes from the bottom up!!
WOO HOO!! I CAN SEE NOVEMBER FROM MY HOUSE!!
No Bama!! No Romney!! Go tea party rebellion!!
Romney doesn’t have the nomination. Gingrich is still in the race. Why are you surrendering before the battle is fought?
Thanks, Captain. No votes for Romney in this house.
I’ve scanned this thread because it was brought to my attention by another FReeper.
Jim (and all) your opinions of Romney have been quite clear and you’ve been very vocal about them.
And many of you were particularly vocal, in vicious, nasty ways, when there were better candidates; far better(I would say exceptional) than what we are left with now.
I’ll never forget the way in which Governor Perry and his supporters were treated on this forum. But what was stunning was that it was allowed with the participation of many veteran FReepers, mods and even you Jim.
In fact, Jim, you screamed (computer wise) at Cincinatus’ Wife for posting a pro Perry post on a Cain thread and told her to “get the hell off the thread”. Absolutely stunning and shocking. At that time, I thought perhaps your account was being used by someone ‘other’ than you (and said that to those who were upset over it) as you were, at that time, going through some serious health issues. But I read through here and see that the style of telling those to go get F’d is the same as it was then and directed at some longtime FReepers...FReepers who donated and thought they had a home here. Just wow...
Personally, I was initially for Gov Palin. A Palin/Perry or Perry/Palin ticket was, imho, the dream ticket. But it was not to be. And it was clear after the Iowa debacle that Palin was not in it to be a candidate. The treatment of Christine O’Donnell at that event and the entire chaotic presentation showed just how far her organization devolved (again imo) and how disorganzied it was.
She was never serious about running so I moved on to Gov Perry. A man who is running the 13th largest economy in the world, a man who has been loyal to the constitution, a man who served his country honorably. What was the response on FR? Ugly, nasty defaming comments. Perry’s supporters had to endure name calling, and personal attacks with no moderation what so ever. We were called racists, and then accused of being for open borders (go figure). La Raza Rick, Guardisil Rick, Trans Corridor Rick ... with abosolutely no reasoning with those posters at all; and some were even encouraged by mods.
And now look at what we are stuck with. Not that FR had the influence to determine that but I do consider it a ‘picture’ of conservative thinking which, is as chaotic as I’ve ever witnessed in my life.
We are not electing a king but we are trying to rid ourselves of a king/tyrant wanna-be. A man who is a traitor to this nation; who is giving aid and comfort to our enemies. A man WHO IS ATTACKING AMERICANS and everything American has stood for! I will crawl over broken glass to vote against him.
Romney has been very vocal about supporting 2nd amendment rights, choosing constitutional justices, defunding planned parenthood etc. Now these may be different than when he was gov of Mass but we forgive Newt Gingrich for his background and we’re willing to accept him for what he has done and based upon what he says he now believes INCLUDING global warming etc.
I just want to know what the hell the difference is? I have a posting of Newt’s record too and believe me, he HAS NOT BEEN A CONSTITUTIONAL conservative always either. But NOT voting is NOT an option.
The other day there was a thread on Romney and like I said then, I hope Newt can pull a rabbit out because he’ll have my vote but make no mistake about it, Newt Gingrich is as responsible for the situation we are in as GW, or any of the RINOS.
Why do you believe Gingrich has changed and yet, don’t believe Romney when he says he has too?
If Romney is the nominee, I will vote for him. I may hate it but I love my country more than I hate Romney.
Newt’s record coming up. NOT to disparage the man but to show that he too has jumped the shark at times.
I believe him when he says he was wrong; I believe Romney too ......who the hell is left? Ron ‘crazy uncle in the attic’ Paul???
Yes, I care about the economy.
The problem is Lot cared about the economy too, and he chose Sodom and Gomorrah, the well-watered cities on the plain. Go read Genesis 13:10-15 if you want to learn how that choice ended in fire raining down from heaven. When we put the economy before morality, we lose both.
We all realize there are three wings of the Republican Party: social conservatives, national defense conservatives and economic conservatives. I don't have a problem with someone whose focus is on economics — I own a business too, and I understand the damage Obama is doing.
But if the Republican Party wants to support free enterprise while being free of moral convictions, it's going the route of a European-style conservative party. That's not the heritage of American Judeo-Christian conservatism, and it's certainly not the heritage of the modern Republican Party.
Baloney... Romney cannot beat obomba and please... Get over this lie that romeny won't push our country towards socialism. His "RECORD" says differently.
You see... that's what you romneyites can't escape... His record. All I hear when he's talking is wah wah wah wah.... His words DO NOT match his actions.
chessplayer ALREADY thinks that no Republican can beat The Marxist, so he's the epitome of a surrender monkey.
Conservatives never surrender. We don't retreat. We reload.
GO NEWT!
I am absolutely disgusted. It ain’t over and the cowards are running in fear, all the while demanding that we vote for Obama lite.
Romney isn’t pro-choice anymore. Obama supports infanticide. Obama lining his pockets is not what I’m referring to. I’m referring to his policies for jobs. Romneycare is different from Obamacare, because most people in Massachusetts wanted it, but most Americans didn’t want Obamacare. Romney hasn’t proposed it for America.
Newt isn’t a strong conservative. He was an amnesty supporter, and still supports a form of amnesty. He was a believer in global warming, and sat on a couch with Nancy Pelosi. Newt did an education tour with Al Sharpton. He supported the Fairness Doctrine. Newt was against Paul Ryan’s medicare reform.
Getting on this thread a little late, had to work an extra six hours to revive some ailing servers at the company. Ain't Friday the 13th a lovely thing??? :)
Anyway, as I've said before, I'm all in with Jim and the FR team, praying for Newt to surprise everybody and Romney to fail epically at the convention, and if that doesn't happen I'm writing in SARAH PALIN on my ballot because that's what I believe!!!
All of us in Democrat states*, where an Obama electoral win is certain regardless of what we do, HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY to the rest of us and TO AMERICA to show that we won't stand for having the GOPe shove yet another moderate LIBERAL ANTI-CONSERVATIVE down our throats!! A vote for Romney is a wasted opportunity to give the GOPe the message that we have had it up to here and it's OVER!
Enough is enough! Hell, enough has already been TOO MUCH!!!
REBELLION IS ON! FreeRepublic is leading the way!!
And DONT TREAD ON ME!!!
“The emotions are running high folks, we need to clam down
Yes, Romney is the worst nominee for the Republican party but he is still better than Obama the socialist.”
Will you and the other Romney voters PLEASE read JRs comments and stop promoting Romney on a site you were told not to? When people stop doing that, this thread and all the posters will ‘calm down’.
The only people keeping this going are you. No reasons/excuses/delusions for voting Romney = no argument and ‘emotions running high”. That simple.
Wanna vote for him? Do it. Don’t expect anyone with integrity to follow. Nor do most of us care to hear your excuses. Only a complete fool thinks you can advance conservatism by voting liberal. It’s like drying clothes by throwing them in a lake.

But Romney can turn to the right, and may be better on other issues besides the economy.
Every “point” that you made on Gingrich is BS and a Romney created talking point. Except for the pic with Pelosi which he has said he deeply regrets. You are a dyed in the wool Romney supporter. FUMR!
Really? How so?
I don't know about you but I'm tired of that old lie and I'm tired of being forced to vote for "the lesser of two evils" particularly since I am incapable of seeing which one is less evil, obomba or romney.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, ONYX!! :)
Yes, we’ll only be tagged as anti-Mormon bigots by Karl Rove.
” - - - We wouldn’t be here if the GOPe believed that conservatives would not vote for Romney. Their entire strategy is dependent on us voting for Romney in the end.”
BULLSEYE!
Yours is the best summary of why we Conservatives must oppose the GOP-e endorsements of Lefty Romney.
This National Election is about cutting Baseline Federal Spending. The difference in Federal Spending will not be noticeable between Obama and Romney.
We need to take the GOP-e Endorsed Candidate from becoming the RNC Nominee ON THE FLOOR OF THE TAMPA CONVENTION.
Jim Robinson has fired the first Shot from the Free Republic Bridge. We must do the rest.
BTW, between Obama and Romney you can flip a dime, but you will loose your dime, either way.
NRA = Not Really Activists
Romneyites????? What are you talking about?
I supported Perry. I never said I liked Romney....I can’t stand Romney actually, but will vote for him over Obama.
I’d venture to guess that there are very very few Romney supporters on Free Republic.....just people left with NO OTHER option to rid us of Obama.
And Jim.....looks like you made your Freepathon 100 times tougher this quarter.
Now what is promoting Romney? Not posting any positive news about him, his campaign, polls showing him in a good position? I think there are very few people on FR who promote Romney as a good candidate. I think that there are many who would vote for him on the most simple fact that they do not want another 4 years of Obama, it is that simple.
