Free Republic

SO WELL WRITTEN AND I AGREE TOTALLY !!

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” !!

My story --

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.

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.

I am watching and don't think Obama is coming off well !!

Hard questions coming from 60 Minutes !!

He is Muslim ......why does he celebrate Christmas with his FAT Bimbo ??

Cutting off the nose to spite the face

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_off_the_nose_to_spite_the_face

“Cutting off the nose to spite the face”

is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem: “Don't cut off your nose to spite your face” is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one’s anger.

Origins

The phrase is known to have been used in the 12th century. It may be associated with the numerous legends of pious women disfiguring themselves in order to protect their virginity.

The expression has since become a blanket term for (often unwise) self-destructive actions motivated purely by anger or desire for revenge. For example, if a man was angered by his wife, he might burn down their house to punish her; however, burning down her house would also mean burning down his, along with all their combustible personal possessions.

The Point ——

ABO in 2012 even if it is Romney !!

As the NUNS would say:
A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICENT !!

I totally agree, Tom Guy !!

Whenever you have HRC and the Obama administration give credit to Bush for arranging our departure “on a bipartisan basis” from Iraq ......then you know the “Leading From Behind” crowd ......has FAILED MISERABLY !!

I had to reach for my Barf Bag .....when HRC listed all Obama’s foreign policy accomplishments !! HRC better hurry up and resign ....before some of those "accomplishments" BLOW UP !!

The Cook Report: Bird in the Hand
GOP primary voters could choose the next president, if only they can make their peace with the front-runner.

One of the great Indy drivers ....a tremendous loss today !!

May God Bless Dan and his young family !!

AMEN !!

I sooooo agree with you, AB and others that the main focus HAS TO BE the DEFEAT OF OBAMA !!

Maybe you guys have enough pull with some of these FR who need to cool off with attacks on other candidates !!

I, for one, have been totally TURNED OFF by the hard nose comments being made on FR and have AVOIDED the site for sometime and will continue to do so until some sense of who the true enemy is realized !!

If I could vote for McCain against Obama ....I WILL VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN who can get the job done !!

My 2 cents !!

I totally agree !! The focus should be on defeating Obama !!

I, too, use to enjoy FR and visted frequently. But, I found out a few months ago, if you were not a Palin worshiper, then you were not welcomed here anymore. It is very sad !!

I will support anyone that is able to defeat Obama. The attacks on Chris Christie, that I have read on here today, is very troubling to me. To win the WH back, we need a candidate that will attract independent voters...and that seems to escape the good old gang here.

Before I disapear again, I leave the following from Chris Christie which makes a lot of sense to me and why I support and hope he will enter the race ---

Christie suggested to an audience at New Jersey's Rider University that the current GOP candidates are not answering the public's appetite for real leadership.

"I think what the country is thirsting for, more than anything else right now, is someone of stature and credibility to tell them that and say, 'Here's where I want us to go to deal with this crisis,'" Christie said.

Christie continued: "The fact that nobody yet who's running for president, in my view, has done that effectively is why you continue to hear people ask Daniels if he'll reconsider and ask me if I'll reconsider."

Never could stand his singing, his songs or his personality ....and now I think HE REALLY STINKS !!

He could NEVER hold a candle to Sinatra, Martin, Como or Sammy Davis !!

What a sorry OLD FOOL that at 85 years old, he still feels the need to sell his tired old tunes !!

GIVE IT UP, YOU OLD FOOL, YOU ARE JUST MAKING AN AZZ OF YOURSELF !!

One million new jobs .......NOT EVEN IN OBAMA’S WET DREAMS !!

Someone please book Air Force One for 2 trips to Kenya on January 21, 2013 .....one for Lazy Fat Azz and the other for Ozinga-the-Great ....it is obvious they don’t travel together anymore !!
