I notice that many of the truly rabid "I'm a life-long Republican but I hate [fill in the blank] and won't vote for Bush" posters seem to have signed up in the fall of last year.

I think this is when the plot was hatched.

Yeah, lots of late December sign-ups. And today! I've seen at least ten newbies today before noon, and their posts are not as infantile as the run-of-the-mill DUers. Somethings afoot!


I'm not saying that it is illogical for new people to sign-up on FreeRepublic. It just seems very odd to see so many this month.

Hmmmmmm....here's an idea. What if JimRob installed a sign-up fee, a one-time fee of say.........ten dollars. With these huge number of new members signing on these days, perhaps it would offer a glimpse of their legitimacy. It would also generate a tidy little slush fund for FR's maintenance. Also, these new dual or multiple members would find it a little bit of a financial burden.


Just a thought. Probably not a good one, never happen.
