Is the Dean Campaign Spamming?
bluelark writes "A few days ago, a friend of mine fowarded to me some spam apparently from the Howard Dean campaign. The sender's return address, however, was dean@america.propulsive.net. In addition, this is not the Texas email we've all heard about. Being bored, I did some research, and I found some intriguing results. If you are interested, I've posted the the technical details and the the spam. Even though the images in the email are being served from Venezuela, the links in the body of the spam are actually redirects from a marketing partner called eScriptions.net to a Dean for America registration page. It appears that the campaign is outsourcing their email with some dubious marketing partners who are then using notorious spamhauses to send out the actual email. Why does a supposedly "net savvy" campaign even think for one second that this approach is acceptable?"
Mod me down. I got Karma to burn
I think Bob Graham is a better candidate anyway.
Would you rather BE goatse?
If so, would you rather be the giver, the taker, or the loopback?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, then GGPL (GAY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
Use GGPL (GAY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE) today, and enjoy all the benefits of this queer license.
GGPL (GAY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE) is the fastest-growing GAY PROGRAMMER license with THOUSANDS of users all over United States of America. You, too, can be a part of GGPL if you write Gay software today!
Why not? It's quick and easy - only 3 simple steps!
First, you have to write Gay software, such as this Gay Software and license it under the GGPL.
Second, you need to succeed in gathering a few "Gay Users" on slashdot.org, a popular "news for trolls" website
Third, you need to contact Richard Stallman, creator of the GGPL, and ask him to sacrifice a straight person for you in the name of All Fags.
If you have mod points and would like to support GGPL, please moderate this post up.

And now, the GGPL.
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a Gay regime (such as blue plastic dicks, or a frozen potato reference) placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Gay General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under Vatican law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "a fag". Activities other than copying, distribution, modification, or cock sucking are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. (Serve the gay community.) 1. A fag may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it (up the ass), in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice, Gay pornographic image, and disclaimer of warranty or straightness; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. A fag may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. You may also offer AIDS ribbons and rainbow tattoos, as well. A fag must also embed a gay demeanor in his software. The mention of the following items MUST BE INCLUDED in each piece of GGPL software. A blue, plastic cock. An AIDS ribbon. A frozen piece of shit. A cock ring (with or without razor blades.) KY Jelly. Anal warts/tearings. Billy Mays. Distribution of GGPL software without the inclusion of these gay items is strictly against the code of Gay Software Programmers, and a fag lawsuit will ensue. Please make note of this and include one, if not all, of the Official Gay Items in your software. The GGPL rest

"I dunno about you, but I'd rather look at goatse for the REST OF ETERNITY, than see ONE MORE Windoze Server 2003 ad"
Be honest, if that "We save a nickel" ad (or just about any of the other ads) was for Macs or Linux or *BSD or whatever your favorite OS is, you'd love every second of it.
By the way, spelling it "Windoze" -- now that'll show 'em!
Please? It is really hard and I need somebody to help me. And after reading your post, you must be really, really smart (or is that a "fallacty").
Probably for the same reasons spammers everywhere continue to do it: some people will click on the pretty colors - they get results.

In essence you bring up a lot of good points. Your style is a bit bombthrowing, but you are telling it like it is. One thing you neglect is that, while the Democrat party is a 'big tent' with lots of little constituencies, they generally come together for a sufficiently charismatic candidate. Also, Democrats can win on the back of a big scandal. Take a look at the last two big Democrat victories in 1976 and 1992.
In 1976, Watergate was the issue, and Carter promised us he would 'never lie to the American people'. Therefore, we elected him. He was right - he wouldn't lie to us. He was just kind of ineffectual at governing.
In 1992, there was no governing issue beside the economy, and Clinton ran with it. He was the best politician I have seen in my life, and better than anyone noted in history since FDR. He played the game like a skin flute, welding together the disparate elements of the Democrat 'constitutency' into a single bloc. Also, Perot helped by drawing off moderate votes. I think Clinton would have won anyway in 1992 even without that, though.
I can't see any of these candidates in 2004 pulling either of the previous tricks off. Maybe they can come up with a new one. Not likely.

I know that this is mostly off-topic, but after reading a lot of the posts on here saying that Bush will beat Dean in an election I just have to say this.
Everyone is talking like Bush actually won the election in 2000. Well, technically, he did because he got the majority of electoral college votes, after Florida was given to him when the Supreme Court basically denied yet another recount of votes.
However, the tone of discussion implies that Bush also won the general election in 2000, which he did not. Lest we forget, more people actually voted for Gore than voted for Bush. I distinctly remember the news casters going on and on about this and how this hasn't happened since President Buchanan or some such.
Think about that before you start saying that it will be a landslide for Bush in '04. Keep in mind, too, that a lot of people are unhappy with how his administration is running, or not running, the country's business.
