This thread may not last, but the FReepers are doing horribly on their FReepathon.
Been going on for many days now, and they are at only 5% of their goal.

The FReepers are not ones to part with their very limited funds. I understand that we do not wish to motivate their duped selves, so I understand if this is pulled.

Still, I can't help but note this fact. They are in dire straits, and may go under.

9. They Have to Go Through the Motions So They Can Pretend to be Grass-Roots
Less than 5%? The numbers tell the real story, don't they?

7. It seems as though JimRob is constantly asking them for money
Maybe they get tired of the constant requests.

I so appreciate the way fund raising is handled here. Kudos to DU admins!

15. Most of their parents are long gone. They are not exactly youthful.
That could be said of many at DU, of course (including me). But they are really long in the tooth over there.

How could you live a long life and still believe the GOP has your best interests at heart? The answer, of course, is they don't. But at least the GOP doesn't have black guys named Barack Obama in the fold.

13. Rethuglicans are by nature so tight they squeak.




They always ride on someone else's ticket. And when they do chip in
you can hear them boast about it for days and from a long way off.

18. Maybe they could search between the couch cushions for loose change
but probably all they'll up with is Cheeto crumbs under their nails.

19. What? All those 'hard working conservatives' don't have the scratch?
Funny.

Here they are, in the same economy they brought on themselves, pretending to be 'responsible' people.
