When you get paid by the number of threads, it's a big deal.

Cincinatus' Wife was the most diligent Scott Walker poster, and took heaps of abuse for staking out a position and sticking with it. I doubt Gov. Walker paid her anything for it. I am one of the thousands working for Cruz, I don't get paid for my posts, either. Heck, the more I interact with Cruz, the more money they ask for. Same with Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum or anybody else who doesn't have a personal fortune, and some (like John Ellis Bush and John Kerry) who do.

Cincinatus' Wife and posters like her are what make Free Republic great. She loves our country, takes a stand, and promotes it, and NEVER with vitriol or personal attacks.

Personally, I do not mind multiple posting of similar (but not identical) media stories. These give us an idea of whwere the hive is hovering, and we can look for repeated terms and diferent takes onteh same news. As always, if an article or opinion doesn't appeal to you, FR has many, many more. One stop shopping for a variety of conservative opinions and outrages, made possible by posters like Cincinatus' Wife.

That was very nice.

Thank you so much.

This is true of everybody in politics. I made a very modest donation to Mitch McConnell's challenger a couple of years ago (he lost but is now the governor of Kentucky), and you should see the stream of appeals I get now, esp. from the RNC, which has broad access to "K" Street money and New England robber-baron fortunes. And they need my money?

Yes, they will ask.
