“Ya know “ABO” = just a euphemism for Romney voters & Romney supporters & Rombots.”

Your ad hominem attack on my choice of words and your insinuation that I am a Romney “supporter” or “Rombot” is exactly the kind of divisive behavior (frankly bullying) that JimRob has requested that FReepers avoid in his TRUCE posting, IMO.

In my observation on FR most ABO FReepers regard Romney, at best, as a man with no core principles and with clear previous liberal stances, thanks to JimRob providing a platform for Romney's outrageous flip-flops to be exposed to conservatives who might otherwise have been taken in by his current marketing as a “conservative.”

Language is imprecise and sometimes words and terms that are not “perfect,” such as ABO and RINO don't mean the same thing to everybody but are useful shorthand.

This thread is intended to boost flagging donations by making ABO FReepers aware that JimRob posted a TRUCE message, which I invite you to re-read.

Feel free to attack the act of voting for Romney on other threads on the merits in accord with FR policy against personal attacks, but this thread intended to invite sincere conservative ABO FReepers to take notice of JR's TRUCE and DONATE, even if some FReepers appear to want to ignore the TRUCE.

Please stop it!

Can you not read? I CLEARLY said: Ya know "ABO" = just a euphemism for Romney voters & Romney supporters & Rombots.

I clearly "ramped up" Romney's level of support as I described those 3 groups...If I would have ONLY meant Rombots, I wouldn't have broken it down into 3 groups: Romney voters & Romney supporters & Rombots... Doncha know those ampersands are there as marks of distinction?

A lot of your so-called "ABO" are (potential) Romney "voters"...

There's another group (or two) of FREEPERs here who go beyond that...they subtlely use FR to campaign for Romney...those are the "supporters & Rombots." (The supporters tend to be more subtle)

They go beyond personally voting for Romney & become his public advocates. As Jim as said, citizen-voters like that can do what they want...they just don't "have to" (or "get to") use FR as one venue of that.

Could you please at least reconsider your barrage of "ABO" as this euphemism for (potential) Romney voters, etc. (& others who will seek to find "safe haven" under that umbrella?)?

I mean, 4 more "ABO" euphemisms in this post...gives you 35 for this thread in 18 posts...A nice "twice" average per post...

The pro-aborts learned that if you repeat "pro-choice" enough, it sticks...

And we've had a few posts from at least two people planning on voting for Romney who concede this is an obvious euphemism...but haven't called you out on it.

Well, I am.
