Jim: "We wish you luck."

TORMENTED Freeper Jim Robinson has sent a touching welcome message to the new boys at Free Republic Sucks.

The one-time George Bush-hater, who manfully tries to keep the sinking Good Ship Freak afloat, told FRS: "We wish you luck. You'll have plenty of competition from FR haters." Robinson enthused about the classy pop-up ads that adorn the FRS test site, before muttering: "We must be doing something right to have so many Bush haters hating us so much."

His army of friends, who included the dribbling "TLBSHOW", gathered around to listen intently as persecuted Robinson went on: "Hating Free Republic is becoming a cottage industry. This guy's site comes complete with pop-up ads and everything. Hating Bush, hating Bush supporters must be selling like pan cakes.

"These a-holes have it in for FR and think they're gonna bring us down. Well, good luck to them. Some have been trying for going on 5 years now. Might as well take them on up front and get it over with rather than having their slimy underground smear campaigns dragging out.

"Shoot, I'd love nothing better than to have ALL of our Bush haters and assorted malcontents jump ship and join them over there. Might make things a lot more pleasant here."
