“witch hunt”
Paranoia and hyperbole in one big post.
Go get some fresh air.
It’s generally considered the responsibility of the person making the statements to back them up. If Mo1 is going to make charges about financial impropriety, then it’s his responsibility to back them up, not blow it off, and tell the other people to do the work themselves.
So, Mo1, where’s the evidence? I’ve never seen any thread on that.
Since this is Jim’s thread, you must be talking about him.

>>I would appreciate being told what if someone is paid to shill for a candidate. Then I know they have an agenda and I can take their comments with or without a grain of salt.<<
I understand you feeling that way.
And I’m a curious person, I’d like know who I’m talking to online.
But implicit in the word “shill” is the assumption that the person is akin to confidence artist.
But its not just ordinary schmucks like me who who disclose their employer or job details - particularly on political sites there are also people “in the business” who want to hang out and talk politics without disclosing their personal finances.
Since hopefully everyone here respects Duncan Duane Hunter, I’ll use him as an example.
Before he was running for congress he was already on Freep advocating his father’s campaign. Suppose it turned out he had a paying job with his father’s campaign. Would that invalidate his position here at Freep? Not a bit to me.
Other than for my curiosity I don’t need to know what everybody’s job and finances are like here.
The exception to that is if someone makes claims based on their expertise - then its nice to know what their qualifications are.
Mo1 does alot for raising money for Free Republic
NautiNurse has the best hurricane threads on the net !!!!

Hello. Great day so far.
I haven’t missed a post! It’s simply irrisistable (lol)

>>“EV also failed to mention that he’s a lobbyist for the state of Idaho, working to abolish state taxes,”
Yes, for the record if anybody wants to flame me, my preference is to be accused of working to lower taxes. I could live with that.
Seriously, I don’t know how you would abolish state taxes, particularly in a time when we should be shift some responsibilities back to the states - but maybe you propose eliminating some taxes and/or lowering taxes.
For the record, the original troll attacker was, unsurprisingly, fact-challenged.

>>LOL, reminds me of “payback is a medevac” from my army days.<<
I googled that phrase and found 169 references but they seemed to assume I already knew what it meant. Would you mind enlightening me and anybody else who was too young for Vietnam?
Hah! Skip ahead like me!
Interesting quote choice.... since John Matrix lied....
“YOU SAID YOU WOULD KILL ME LAST” -S
“I LIED” -JM
Badabing!
