I guess Free Republic has had enough of those Romney Republicans in their midst:

Posted on Thu May 26 2011 20:31:29 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) by Jim RobinsonNOTICE: FR DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT ABORTIONIST, GAY RIGHTS PUSHING BIG GOVERNMENT STATISTS FOR PRESIDENT!!This message is intended for those posters on FR who seem to have missed my prior statements in this regard and insist on advocating for these bastards.I’d rather shut the place down than be involved in any effort to install abortionist/gay rights pushing RINOS like Romney or Giuliani into the White House!!Do NOT push this crap on FR. Take your business elsewhere!! And I don’t care how long you’ve been here!!
Sample of the comments:
Jim, it’s your house, we are just guests.I concur with the host.No RINO’s…this includes Rudi, Romney, Snowe, Collins, McCain, Murkowski, Graham, Lugar or any other “moderate” like Christie or Huckabee.Here, here, Jim.
When asked if Free Republic will be closed down if and of those candidates (including Huntsman) is nominated Jim Robinson replies:
If Romney (or any other abortionist/homosexualist/statist RINO) is the Republican candidate, the Republican party has left me. FR will work to get a pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty conservative Tea Party candidate elected.97 posted on Thu May 26 2011 21:08:03 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) by Jim Robinson (Rebellion is brewing!! Impeach the corrupt Marxist bastard!!)
I have to wonder if that isn’t what Palin’s after. She doesn’t want to be president. She saw how much work it is and how you have to give yourself up to the race. But running as the Tea Party candidate would ensure that she is treated like a super-celebrity all the way through the next year. Judging from the comments these people really, really, really love Sarah Palin. They only represent a handful of the American voting public but it should be enough to keep the money coming in for a while.
