“An avalanche of mail gets their full attention…”

We conservatives have got our work cut out for us even if McCain is elected.

Most definitely if, God forbid, we have Obama elected (with both houses of Congress in Democrat control) — we’ll be working 24/7.

I have a Phi Beta Kappa key and only read people smarter than myself.
I read Victor Davis Hanson, Christopher Hitchens, Ann Coulter, Mark Steyn, and many more. I’m Mensa level IQ. 2%. They are the top 1% and they deserve respect, BC, you little punk.
Then, there are the bloggers with specialized knowledge such as those who exposed Dan Rather’s fraudulent documents.

I am soooooo tired of hearing that Obama has the educated voters and it’s the ignorant high school grads who oppose him. Obama has the college grads who had their synapses fried in college by “post structuralism” and Marxism. I prefer my literature and poli sci to be intelligible.

Obama’s “floating abstractions.” Lofty words without real life referents give me migraines. I look at his audience and I see 70’s type “blissies”. Are they stoned? They look it. This overaged children’s crusade will not win if we point out that the Emperor is naked — and full of b.s.

Someone describes Michelle Obama as “rancorous” and we all say “yes!”. Perfect word to describe her (Freddoso?) NRO labels her Princess Ticked Off and we have her essence.

More importantly: veterans for freedom creates an Internet ad asking Obama” why haven’t you gone to Iraq in 800 plus days?” “Why are you willing to meet with dictators but not General Petraeus” and suddenly Obama decides to go to Iraq and will have to meet with Petraeus. McCain didn’t do that. The Republican Party didn’t do that. A small group did that. Shades of 2004, where a group of heroes, the Swift Boat Veterans, revealed John Kerry’s lies and fantasies and won the election for GWB.

Demopublicans and Republicrats are for global warming but Newt puts up a DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW online petition and capitolconnect does likewise and IF we take a few minutes to SIGN, we have a real chance of forcing politicos to change their minds. Never forget that a Congressman aware of the teachers’ unions power, attacked homeschooling on the floor of the House. The congress was flooded with more angry mail than they’d ever received on any other issue and that was that. Congressmen care about numbers: in the form of money and in the form of votes. An avalanche of mail gets their full attention just as a big donation does.

The internet makes it possible for a pissed off Harriet Christian to get a million hits on Youtube and let us know the caucuses were rigged, a story I didn’t see anywhere else. I know that caucuses favor Marxists who are willing to wait till everyone gets tired and goes home before voting (a favorite tactic of theirs) and discriminates against those who work or can’t get to the polls at night. And that’s HOW Obama won. That’s a story for bloggers to develop. David Horowitz is the expert on the techniques used by the hard left. He worked with these Obama supporters when he was a young Communist.

I would love to see a DRAFT BOBBY JINDAL petition online. Put Jindal up against Obama and Obama doesn’t look so shiny and special anymore. With McCain as an experienced military commander in chief to wind up our two wars and fend off sabre rattling China and Russia, Jindal could devote himself to the reform he does so well. Four years from now, we’d have a great President in Waiting.

If we’d had the Internet in 1992, the Reform Party would have won. Luckily, Newt Gingrich used our platform in 1994 and the Republicans won control of the House for the first time in 40 years.

The voters want CHANGE? Great!!! Let’s replace Democrat control of the House and Senate. They’ve had a year and a half and what have they done??? Tried to wrest defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq and fought off earmark reform.

The Republican Party’s intellectually sclerotic. The Democrat Party is in Obamamaniac “Blissie” mode. But bloggers are coming up with great ideas brilliantly and hilariously exprssed, So… Hold on to your laptops. It’s going to be a bumpy Summer.

Mary, the vast majority of bloggers on those calls WERE from the right. I thought that would be obvious.

Blogs CAN be self-correcting, but the model is still more Wikipedia than inerrant, all-knowing hive-mind. Blogs can be smarter than the MSM, or dumber than a box of rocks; a wildly outlinked source of context and interaction, or a self-exciting feedback loop.

As for “right” blogs versus “left” blogs, information isn’t the issue. Both are self-selecting belief-reinforcement communities. At least in the short term, the wide-open vistas of the Internet remain the ground of competing tribal claims. That will change in time, but — like all new-media denizens — Roger is overselling the relaity, just a tad.
