The money goes to keep Freerepublic operational. That means bandwidth so that access is really great. That means database servers that respond quickly and can handle millions and millions of searches and articles.

That means the physical servers (note the plural) for Freerepublic. This site is run by a handful of people.

It is David against Goliath.

The Democrats/liberals/brain washed friends of Obama/Soros probably pump $1 million a quarter into the Huffington Post in trying to come up with a site that might compete with Freeperland...

No. $80,000 a quarter is small change compared (1) to the stakes we are playing with (huge national debt, flushing the constitution down the toilet. Also, fighting the Democratic controlled Congress is not easy.

Since tomorrow is the Fourth of July, just think of the amount blood shed for this country.

I think that blood is a lot more expensive than $80,000 a quarter...

Several years ago this question came up and I posted links to several similar site's fundraiser information (like DU, Huff, etc) to show that FR's fundraising is right in line. At that, if you look at a correlation of traffic to expenses, this site runs on less than DU, which asks for more from her members but has less traffic.
