Thailand?
Wow. I'm not on FR 24x7, but I have yet to see evidence of that from posters other than trolls. Good luck.
Slow down, Nellie.
You are owed no apology. When you cast your vote for a man who does not follow in the platform of his own party, you are voting for a Republican in name only by definition.
Ergo, you are likewise a RINO. And if you are OK with that, great. But it is what it is and no amount of excuse-making changes verifiable fact.
Well said, best of luck. Im looking at getting more involved in the tea party and local gop.
I'll bet that was rhetorical.
You can't really oppose Obama's reelection if you may also oppose the republican's election.
I can and I will if the Pubbie is Mitt Romney.
Laz is right, take a break, get some fresh perspective.
The campaign hasn’t begun yet.
Tet.

Did you ping Jim to this sad opus?
I would have expected more from someone who has been here for so many years.
Sorry, there’s just no honorable justification for voting for a demonstrated liberal/Socialist like Mitt Romney - no matter what the pretext is.
Choosing between Obama and Romney are only two of the options that lay before the American people, unless of course, you’ve given up so much of your personal integrity and fighting spirit, that you’ve accepted those constraints.
Making either of those choices is throwing in with the very evil that you claim to oppose. A true patriot would rather give up everything, than do that.
Not exactly the way it went down from my viewpoint, but whatever.

The Mark Levin Rule is he’d vote for an orange juice can over Obama, and as a conservative will do everything possible to elect the GOP nominee. It’s a good rule.
This election is between a Marxist and a Moderate. Not my first, second, or third choice on the GOP side but I love my granddaughter too much to vote for a Marxist.
Best wishes.
If anyone other than JR had called you a RINO and etc, would you have teared up and opused out as you are doing?
Man up, pal. So JR unloaded on you? Big deal. I take it this has never happened to you before? Do you want to hear MY encounters with Jim? I’ve had ‘em. Most of us have. But you are quitting over this?
Dude seriously. Put on your big girl panties and keep FReeping. If JR (or me or anyone else) says something to hurt your feelings, DEAL with it.
You know...
If you think about it...
Being called a RINO may be a good thing...
It seems the majority of Republicans aren’t conservative anymore. So if being a Republican means not being conservative I don’t want to be a “Republican” either.
I’m a conservative first, not a Republican first.
I’m an engineer. That means you have to create things the best you can from what is available in the real world. Nothing is perfect and everything is a compromise. You can’t make something that works from components/materials that don’t exist no matter how perfect the result would be.
I also have teenage children. I want them to have a future.
So all that being said. I’m in the “Anybody But Obama” camp.
If that makes me unwelcome here then I’ll take my lumps and go.
I am hoping that was the case.
We can't have another 4 years of this failed president.
You have some very strong principles. And I admire them. But you might be missing the point. It’s one thing to vote for Romney when and IF he is on the ballot. But, and this is the heart of the matter, he hasn’t won the nomination yet. And who Jim or anybody votes for in November is their private business...
We are making a stand with Newt on OUR principles, and beliefs. The RNC knows who their opponent is, they have already put out their first 2 official anti-obama ads. We are not holding up the battle.
We are fighting against all odds, while there is still a moment of choice left. And we are fighting against the GOP establishment as well as their candidate, because if they succeed in doing this, they will be so emboldened by their ability to get the conservatives to support them, they will never again take the wishes of the conservative base seriously - not that they do now anyway.
I just wish you would take your principles, and fervor, and deep beliefs and put them to work for Newt until the nominee is chosen at the convention. Until then, we have a chance. It may looks like the banks of the Delaware right now, but we still have a chance. Join us.
I plan on supporting the official nominee AGAINST Obama. that is a principled choice I am making, and I don’t fault others who are making a different choice. I will certainly, when the time comes, try to persuade them otherwise. But that is then. This is now.
I despise the current impostor in DC, and want to see him impeached, tried and [well, you can guess the parts of my reply I won't post on the public side]. I was in the military for almost 40 years, and am glad I don't have to serve under this POS another day.
a.) JimRob owes you nothing, let alone an ‘apology’.
b.) Adios you putz.
c.) Go suck an egg.
I stopped posting myself for nearly a month when I caught myself starting to scream through the keyboard. It wasn't helping anyone, certainly not me. Best to you.
