Yes, we know you. I know you very well, I think. You are a trusted friend, so let me speak to you as openly and honestly as I can here on this thread. JoeProBono is also a good friend and a valued member of Jim’s FReepathon Team.
Many of the people you are referencing are not good loyal members. They do not support FR like you. Personally, I don’t give a rip about their “feelings”. Some of the others on this thread, are good loyal members and they’re still supporting FR but they’re not slamming Jim, and for me, that’s unforegiveable.
The ones yearning for the old days are talking about FR when RINOS were in power and disccussions were “oh so lovely and open, blaming Bush and trashing him.” I am being sarcastic and not painting an full picture of the times.
Please don’t surrender or take up for folks that aren’t worthy. You’re not in a swing state.
We’re all the better patriots for putting our energies into electing TEA Party patriots to the US Senate and House.
God bless you.
That's the way I feel as well. I was very active in supporting a Tea Party candidate in 2010. He lost, but managed to tie down a couple million in Dem dollars that might have tipped the balance in races elsewhere.
The GOP always has had a very tenuous relationship between conservatives and the country-club Republicans. We did not turn that into an open rift - they did in 2010 when they backstabbed Tea Party conservatives who beat their RINOs in the primary.
Until the GOP-E shows they are willing to do more with the conservative base than treat us as poor relations, I will keep supporting conservative candidates who I feel will in turn work to keep the liberal tendencies of both the Dems and the GOP in line.
Didnt you support rudy and Romney in 08, then left during the Rudy purge? And now you are complaining about people not having their loyalty cards?
onyx, you and I have been the same on every candidate this Primary. You know that I've never said anything about Romney.
what people are angry about, including myself, is the pictures, the taunting. I had a religious zealot tell me I was going to burn in hell for being a Lutheran, and he posts countless threads a day saying that without any reprimand.
