To Jim Robinson and All His Czars —
I realize the purpose of this thread is to raise money so let me express my views on the finances here.
I have contributed in the past, when I naively assumed, the place was some sort of non-profit membership organization with transparency. It is only recently, that I learned, the place is set up as a privately 100% LLC owned by Jim Robinson with NO transparency. He provides only a “BUGDET” in other words meaningless information. The Budget “said” $1,200 (last time I looked) now it says $1,000 is required every quarter for legal and accounting services. For that kind of money, you would think you would get something more than a meaningless budget. SO HOW MUCH DOES JIM ROBINSON REALLY COLLECT HERE ??? It appears he does a good job of BEGGING for money but he is not honest enough to report how much he “actually” collects and what his “actual” expenses are. So my next question is HOW MUCH DOES JIM ROBINSON STICK IN HIS POCKET and pay his loyal czars to keep their mouth’s shut ?? Without any transparency on the finances, we can only assume, it is paying off BIG for Jim Robinson and his ELITE SUPPORTERS & workers !!
The “Budget” also shows $13,500 in administration, management and taxes which appears to be 46% of the budgeted expenses. Does no one, but me, dare to ask what the hell that is ?? If total revenues are over $300,000 on an annual basis, then 46% of $300,000 or over $300,000 is a serious slush fund to the owner when some donors state they donate “small amouts” because that is all they can afford.
Another point on FR finances and vulgar attacks on Romney. How many of you know Jim Robinson is also on Twitter under the name of @DEFEAT ROMNEY ?? It’s set up as a Spam account because there are posts made on this twitter site every few minutes 24/7 over 58,000 tweets last time I looked. How much money is diverted from FR donations to support the technology to spam tweets 24/7 against Romney ?? Most of the tweets against Romney, like here, are made up lies more vile, vulgar and disgusting than any Obama loving Marxist could post.
I expect my post to be deleted. But, I would ask all those who do donate here to reconsider what they think they are supporting. I believe Jim Robinson has gone off the deep end and taken others who are easily swayed, senile or are monetarily benefiting with him !!
I no longer have any respect for Jim Robinson. I believe he is a “purest” hypocrite, he obviously likes YOUR MONEY but DOESN’T WANT your opinions if they are NOT the same as his.
I say, in closing, SHUT THE PLACE DOWN !! It will never be the same and it has turned into a VILE, VULGAR and DISGUSTING place to visit thanks to the “owner” !!
Wow. Anything else you’d like to get off your chest? Just try not to burn down the barn before quittin’ time. Some of us may have livestock in the stalls.
WOW...that’s gonna leave a mark.
First, you need to learn what an LLC is.
Second, it is NUNYA (none of your business in case you live in Rio Linda)
Third, you can leave anytime you want to let the door knob great you on the way out.
Fourth you insult FReepers buy calling them czars?
Fifth, see you next Tuesday ;)
The -2.5?
You are standing approxiamtely 7 feet behind me while I try my best to get them before they get you.

You (and others on this thread) obviously believe that it is OK to compromise on true values and that it is not only acceptable to do so, but actually preferable when it comes to politics.
I contribute to Free Republic BECAUSE I believe in being associated with those who support pro-life, pro-marriage (between one man and one woman), and those who support the 2nd Amendment and a restricted and limited government at all levels, among other issues. I WILL NOT compromise on matters of faith and morals.
Just what do you believe in? Do you think that it is important to drop everything, including support of Free Republic, because we must now concede -- in April of an election year -- to a liar like Mitt Romney all because he appears to be the ONLY alternative to the worst POTUS in memory? And you feel you can now attack the owner of this site with impunity, all because you happen to favor appeasement and concession, rather than fighting for issues that are absolutely the foundation of our life and freedoms? Really now.
What do you believe in and are you willing to fight and/or even die for your God-given inalienable freedoms?
I don’t think your post will be deleted. At least I hope not. This is the best example I have seen of the intelligence of Romney’s duplicitous supporters. You’ve been here since 2005 and now because Jim Robinson won’t allow you to pimp your socialist on a conservative website, you get the vapors. Talk about hypocritical.
I pray that you never have to experience what it is like to have someone come into your home and do exactly what you have done here. It is truly fatuous behavior, but that is to be expected from Romney’s acolytes.
I hope you don’t get the zot, but after making such a fool of yourself, I don’t expect to see you post here again. Perhaps you should take your special love of socialism and, the everyone on this site who agrees with Jim must be brainwashed or paid, opinion with you when you go.
I receive no monetary benefit from Jim, I contribute. But like everyone here, even you, I receive the benefit of being able to express my conservative beliefs. You and the other truly brainwashed republicans (rombots) can continue to hold on to Soro’s favorite, your socialist son of an Alinsky lover — Mitt Romney. But as long as this is a conservative website, I hope we never have to become as hypocritical as those who pretend that the most liberal republican presidential candidate ever is a conservative.
As I have said for years on many topics, “This is Jim’s sandbox and I’m just a guest”.
