McCain Asks Supporters To Campaign On Blogs
Vote McCain in 2000! writes "McCain is not the stranger to technology some think him to be. McCain is now asking supporters to stump for him on blogs. Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise for this outreach, calling it 'smart' and 'unique.' McCain's blogger outreach section has a handy list of political blogs which might be interested in hearing about McCain, such as the DailyKos, Crooks and Liars, and Think Progress. You can even report your posts to the campaign and 'receive points for your success,' though the page doesn't say what exactly the points are good for." Slashdot is not on their suggested blogs list. Can't imagine why.
Sorry, the only blog space I will be dedicating to John McCain is space to ensure that people know I don't like him.
Another (at least) 4 years of war? No thanks.
Another (at least) 4 years of bad domestic policy? No thanks.
Another (at least) 4 years of homeland spying and deceit? No thanks.
I don't like many politicians that are in the game these days, but I definitely don't like Republicans right now. Not to mention, everyone knows the blogosphere belongs to Ron Paul.

Those astroturf marching orders will produce nothing but an invasion of trolls into those Progressive blogs. Which will be smashed to dust and mocked roundly, just like their Troll King, McCain.

My experience has been if you talk negatively or positivly about your candidate, or your candidates opponent you will be marked troll. If you voice an opinion on politics (or global warming) you will be marked troll or flamebait
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.

Right, because it's the leftists that want us to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Sure it is.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
"Slashdot is not on their suggested blogs list. Can't imagine why." It does seem odd. Their bloglist seems to contain far-left ideological sites and Slashdot is certainly one of those. Even a discussion of the scarcity of the Wii Fit recently was comprised almost entirely of talk about how Bush=Hitler and Iraq and how America sucks, interspersed only occasionally with posts from people who chose to talk about the topic at hand. I admit to not having read this thread yet, but I bet it's mostly anti-Bush rhetoric - unless it happens to diverge from the usual pattern around here.
Good lord.
An entire post with not one rational thought in it. Good job.
Re that Barack is Muslim: Hillary's people spread that one around. The Republicans had no need to do anything like that; it was too much fun watching all the Democrats fighting amongst themselves. And still fighting.
Re Iraq & 9-11 link: While Iraq/Saddam may have had no direct link to 9/11, there was definately a link between Saddam an al qaida. You can start with a youtube search for "abc news saddam bin laden." Also try looking up Gen Wesley Clark and get his opinion on where Bin Laden would likely run to if his Afghan base were destroyed. Your last sentence is naive and ignorant. Witness Iraq & al Qaida, and Iran & North Korea for starers.
And should I mention Rosie O'Donnel and her ilk (Kos, anyone?) who still think 9/11 was an inside job, and who still think the temperature inside the Trade Center was not hot enough to cause the buildings to collapse?
Slashdot: you'll not find a more wretched collection of villainy and disreputable types...
Obama is, by any stretch of the imagination, the most far left candidate that's ever been nominated by a major party. He's not only far to the left of the mainstream of American, he's further left than what the left thinks is the mainstream of America.
He can't run on his legislative accomplishments, because he has none. He was basically in the Senate for 1 year when he started running for President.
He can't run on his voting record or his actual beliefs, because that puts him at odds with the majority of American voters.
What he can run on, however, is the voters beliefs which they then project onto him. In that sense, he's an empty suit. It's brilliantly dishonest. We'll see how long he can pull it off though in a general election.
