I joined FR in Nov 2005 and my last post was Dec 2011, prior to this one. I joined all the others here today who have finally been able to voice their opinion without being instantly banned, ambushed, embarrassed or rudely ridiculed.
I always enjoyed reading the threads and posts, more than commenting myself, for the information, of those who may not be familiar with my pen name. My favorite hang out was always the Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread but I expressed my dismay in December 2011 to the host of the site, AB, and asked him to stop sending me pings. At that time, I expressed how horrified I was at the vicious and vile attacks against other members and the primary candidates who were not "PURE" to the powers that be here.
My views on the Republican primaries has always been ABO because I have children and grandchildren and wanted better for them like my parents wanted better for me. I consider Obama and the Progressives a bigger threat to this Country than Osama Bin Laden ever was. Yes, I was disappointed that some of the serious Republicans out there did not enter the race, but to be honest, I never thought Palin was a serious candidate. My candidate eventually became Romney because it became clear, he was the only one able to defeat Obama with the organization and money that it takes to run a general election. So that is where I stand politically.
I also, as my name may indicate, still support G W Bush and have not appreciated the vile opinions against him on FR. I believe he will, in years to come along with Cheney, be appreciated and recognized for the strong foundation and intelligence they created after 9/11 that still keeps us safe to this day. He was a modest man and should have spoken up for himself and not let the Progressives lie and define him. Maybe we would not have Obama today if he would not have worn himself out so soon.
To Jim Robinson and All His Czars --
I realize the purpose of this thread is to raise money so let me express my views on the finances here.
I have contributed in the past, when I naively assumed, the place was some sort of non-profit membership organization with transparency. It is only recently, that I learned, the place is set up as a privately 100% LLC owned by Jim Robinson with NO transparency. He provides only a "BUGDET" in other words meaningless information. The Budget "said" $1,200 (last time I looked) now it says $1,000 is required every quarter for legal and accounting services. For that kind of money, you would think you would get something more than a meaningless budget. SO HOW MUCH DOES JIM ROBINSON REALLY COLLECT HERE ??? It appears he does a good job of BEGGING for money but he is not honest enough to report how much he "actually" collects and what his "actual" expenses are. So my next question is HOW MUCH DOES JIM ROBINSON STICK IN HIS POCKET and pay his loyal czars to keep their mouth's shut ?? Without any transparency on the finances, we can only assume, it is paying off BIG for Jim Robinson and his ELITE SUPPORTERS & workers !!
The "Budget" also shows $13,500 in administration, management and taxes which appears to be 46% of the budgeted expenses. Does no one, but me, dare to ask what the hell that is ?? If total revenues are over $300,000 on an annual basis, then 46% of $300,000 or over $300,000 is a serious slush fund to the owner when some donors state they donate "small amouts" because that is all they can afford.
Another point on FR finances and vulgar attacks on Romney. How many of you know Jim Robinson is also on Twitter under the name of @DEFEAT ROMNEY ?? It's set up as a Spam account because there are posts made on this twitter site every few minutes 24/7 over 58,000 tweets last time I looked. How much money is diverted from FR donations to support the technology to spam tweets 24/7 against Romney ?? Most of the tweets against Romney, like here, are made up lies more vile, vulgar and disgusting than any Obama loving Marxist could post.
I expect my post to be deleted. But, I would ask all those who do donate here to reconsider what they think they are supporting. I believe Jim Robinson has gone off the deep end and taken others who are easily swayed, senile or are monetarily benefiting with him !!
I no longer have any respect for Jim Robinson. I believe he is a "purest" hypocrite, he obviously likes YOUR MONEY but DOESN'T WANT your opinions if they are NOT the same as his.
I say, in closing, SHUT THE PLACE DOWN !! It will never be the same and it has turned into a VILE, VULGAR and DISGUSTING place to visit thanks to the "owner" !!
There is a BIG difference between Romney and Obama and I will do my best to defeat Obama !! I just never thought I would be working against the HATEFUL FEW on Free Republic.
Fantastic!

Wow. Anything else? Your budgetary management skills could really be useful in trimming government waste in a hundred departments. Hope you get the opportunities to use them for the good of us all.
Vile? Vulgar?
Got any examples??
That is my compensation plus Amy’s and Chris’ who works here part time helping me and learning the ropes (ie, Management and Administration) plus a part of our related payroll tax expenses.
I’m sure there are probably others who might be able to run a site as large as FR for fewer bucks (maybe), but they’ll probably need to be independently wealthy if they don’t take compensation and thus they’re probably not really interested in running a donor based grassroots organization. Nor will they put in the hours I do.
Thank you very much!!
Woo hoo!!
And this just in:
$366.00 from Michigan
$50.00 from North Carolina
Thank you very much, Michigan and North Carolina!!
And we’re now over THIRTY-TWO percent!!
With that, we’re going to dinner. Will bbl.
OPEN ALL NIGHT!!
How many of you know Jim Robinson is also on Twitter under the name of @DEFEAT ROMNEY ??

How do you know that account is his? Where is your proof?
("I never thought Palin was a serious candidate"..."still support G W Bush and have not appreciated the vile opinions against him on FR")
EPIC FAIL.
The tough get tougher, as the times we are in dictate in the fight against Nationalist Socialism ( liberal fascism), and the weak get weaker and leave.
Thats fractional distillation, politically speaking.
Pretend as you are reading this it is Germany circa 1926, with an American twist.Then you will know what the next few years hold under Romney OR Obama. It will be the same in either case.Thus the vituperatude against Romney.
At this point it doesn’t make much difference who wins the presidential election, and some in America want to do something about it besides this bogus vote on Nov. 6th, maybe do something at the GOP convention in Florida, there really is no GOP anymore, mainly because they do not know , or refuse to acknowledge, just WHAT the nation is facing.
Good Read:

The other thing that continually spouted is that voting does no good because it is already decided. I always thought hopelessness was the property of the leftist until I talked with some Ron Paul supporters. It really makes me wonder just who has taken over here.
