In reply to the discussion: Free Republic renounces the GOP (no kidding) [View all]K Gardner

Freeper thinking:
Jim, thank you for your statement. This whole mess has shaken me to the core. And Im not the only one. The Romney nomination will not only divide the Republican party, it has already divided this friendly group of conservatives. Its sad to watch us accuse each other of being unpatriotic (and thats the milder of the accusations hurled against me).
This division is manna from heaven for Obama. He probably wont have to resort to voter fraud or intimidation to be reelected. Its too bad we didnt realize the party hierarchy would screw us over like this. Had we known earlier, we could have mounted a third party candidacy. We were blindsided. So now we will have to endure four more years of Obama, maybe more if he succeeds in making himself dictator.

Jim Robinson clarifies his position:
Romney is a draft dodger. Cowardly rich boy with connections refused to serve his country. None of his sons ever served either. Its a family tradition. Romney loathed Reagan-Bush and conservatism. Ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on gay rights, abortion, gun control, socialist healthcare, appoint liberal judges, etc. Hes nothing but a lying two-bit leftist political whore who will screw you in the end. No way in hell will I support him.

That's because the Freepers don't see that as a joke. They see it as oratorical brilliance.

I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that they think Romney's a liberal.

It's a popularity contest between a center-right and a slightly more center-right candidate.

Obama, a candidate sponsored by Wall Street, stands for pro-business policies.
