“What’s worse is that a close tie-in between FR_PAC and freerepublic.com gives the leftists easier options to try to discredit and harass us, by highlighting a rogue racist post, sleeper accounts, righthaven attacks, DDOS, etc.”
Sam, we’ve survived those kind of attacks before, and will do so again. Remember in the Clinton years, the flame wars, the attacks on us when we tried and then succeeded in taking down Dan Blather?
The only thing I worry about, regarding attacks, is the FCC and the regulations they are making or those they might impose. Did you see the links at Drudge yesterday on that subject? (I think there’s a thread on that.)
FReegards,

It's not the FCC I'm worried about. That's a threat to freerepublic.com as it is, and can be dealt with.
I'm worried about the much more restrictive control that the FEC and the IRS will try to extend to freerepublic.com due to a tight connection with FRPAC.
And if you "brickwall" the connection and control between the two, then we might as well just support an existing PAC and be the "logging and tracking and research arm" of an already successful conservative PAC.
What FReepers should BEST DO - is to be in the real battleground - that of their state GOP, at the local and state level, where they can be most effective at being a RINO-KILLER. THAT is the very best place to oppose the RINO's trying to sneak into higher office - kill 'em before they can get there!
