Is it my imagination? Or is free republic consistently holding fundraisers.

[Roon]

..I don't go there often..but when big news breaks in politics and i go to take a peek..they are always holding a fundraiser...That reminds me of my neighborhood rule....no consistent yard sales..only two yard sales a year!

2. FR Fundraisers

They hold them quarterly. It costs them about $ 80,000 per quarter to stay on line.

3. It's like those sales at Circuit City or The Wiz - same deal.

4. they have to pay for their tea bag convention in washington dc this fall!

5. Legal fees?

:shrug:

[EvolveOrConvolve]

6. Hey, porta-potties, ammunition and hookers are expensive!

[Arkana]

8. You forgot the meth. Mountains of crystal meth.

7. RimJob needs new spinners for his Rascal.

Seriously, they don't do a damn thing to improve that website. It's like an HTML project from 1996.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Consistent or constant? DU's are consistent.

[apocalypsehow]

10. It's not your imagination. It is a for-profit enterprise so that Rimjob can eat well at Olive Garden

Not that there's anything wrong with Olive Garden, of course.

[Ilsa]

12. I bet RimJob is more of the Golden Corral type.

With the endless buffet, of course, with lots of varieties of rare meats. He needs this form of socialism so he can carry on with not doing anything worthwhile in owning that site.

11. They run quaterly fund raisers

Lately, it's been taking about ten weeks to achieve their quarterly goals.

[Posteritatis]

13. It's still a high traffic site but with a lower userbase

They probably go through bandwidth fees like any fairly large site, but if they have fewer people in the gimmemoney pool they have to pass the hat around more often.

14. They need the money for shampoo and dentures

[pscot]

15. Somebody on DKos broke it down a while back

They are indeed holing more and longer fundraisers. Apparently they're having a hard time raising money. Either that, or Crazy Jimmy is planning to abscond to Costa Rica.

16. Bleach cannot remove the toughest stains from white sheets and hoods

Gotta keep buying new uniforms over there.

17. That protest outside Letterman's theater set them back quite a bit.

After all, signs for six people aren't cheap.

[Incitatus]

18. and their site still looks like shit

[Blue For You]

19. Maybe they're raising funds to clothe Palin in 2012. She's

high maintenance you know. Just ask McCain, LOL!

22. money laundering?
