Why would Jim or anyone else say no to a donation from a wealthy person from the right side of the isle?

We know neither of us speak for other people much less Jim Robinson, but I doubt if some financial giants with the means to donate bigger sums came along that he would be offended.

I have always wondered why there are seemingly no financial whales donating to this site which has obviously been the foundation for MANY wonderful conservative efforts. In some ways that never made sense to me.

I can't read Jim's mind, and he is a man of few words.

The donation might have strings attached.

Large donations from single individuals tends to open the door to undue influence. I'd suspect that's Jim Rob's reasoning.
