Yeah, I am sure he has some great insights. But Free Republic is larger then one man.
Actually, you're wrong because without Jim Robinson there would be no Free Republic. From the day I signed up there have been a number of people who have left FR for one reason or another because they were discontented with FR. Quite a few of them started their own websites.
None of them have been near as successful at attracting near as many people to their websites. None of them are regularly lurked over by different radio personalities like FR is. FR is unique but without JR who owns FR you'd have one of those other forums and not the venue found here.
Jim Robinson owns this website. These forums are Jim Robinson's. The mitt-bots and Romney admirers for YEARS now, have frequently treated other freepers like Piggy was treated in the last couple pages of LORD OF THE FLIES.
That is RUDE.
The owner of Free Republic has repetitively stated that he does not support Willard Mitt Mittens Romney, and that he never will support him, nor any other RINO.
To continue all these fake outcries and sham moans of distress, and pretending that Mitt-bots with their endless stream of Mitt-bytes is appropriate to post to FREE REPUBLIC is simply RUDE.
A few years ago, months after all the Mitt-bots arrived, I vowed that I would NEVER vote for him for anything, under any circumstances, no matter what.
There surely are tens of thousands of other lurkers who shared my sentiments.
