"They" better be paying attention and pay heed to this. FR is not some light weight site. Learned a looooong time ago, FR has active members and lurkers that have depths of knowledge in a wide spectrum of topics that will deep six anyone not on the level.

Dan Rather, how's he doing these days?

Little Dan is still an icon of the progs and is often given voice by the old media.

Free Republic is a conservative electronic think tank with several hundred thousand participants and many additional readers, but its reach goes far beyond that.

Top conservatives who have audiences in the millions, such as Rush, Levin....etc, I would bet, browse Free Republic and read the consensus conservative opinon of the day. For example when Rush Limbaugh moves into his Atilla the Hun chair momentarily and fires up his golden EIB microphone, he will be fully aware of the Jim Robinson endorsement.

Most Amernicans may not know about Free Republican but its effect on conservative opinion is second to none.

Yes, Free Republic is not a light weigth site, it is instead most influential.
