But then that becomes a zero-sum game.
What FR adds to the national scene is it's unique news aggregation, but not for the moneyed elites with a "man in Washington." That's where PACs have leverage.
FR is Drudge Report but with comments.
If that base could be turned into an influential PAC money machine, then Freepathons would already only last minutes, not weeks.
humblegunner- will you please ping the group to this important discussion item?
Sam - I wasn’t here back in ‘98, but as I understand it, FR used to be far more than news aggregation with comments. What I’m hearing people say is that they want FR to get back into focused political action. Perhaps we don’t need a PAC to do that. I don’t know.
The group needs to discuss what it is we want from a PAC. What is our goal? We want to target RINOs. How are we going to do that? With money? By educating the public through targeted information about specific RINOs?
