		<description>After reading yours and MathMom&#039;s responses, I thought I&#039;d try a 3rd time. Again, the result was the same as I posted before. 

Jsut so you know, I&#039;m no amateur to the internet. I&#039;m no html expert but I do I have two of my very own websites and I currently post and have posted in many, many forums over the years. In other words, I&#039;ve done this before.

The site Erick provides above simply won&#039;t register me. Screw it. Although after reading the links Erick posted, I don&#039;t care that much about it anyway. Had this call to action been more significant, as in say, a presidential election, I&#039;d be raising h*ll with the powers that be. But in this case, ah, screw it.

My main point is very simple: Those who wish to gain serious numbers of people on the internet to back a cause must have the people in place who have the time and resources to make it work. From what I&#039;ve see (or more like NOT seen), the site Erick linked to doesn&#039;t fit the bill. I began wondering the same things about Redstate until a month or so ago when the 500 errors FINALLY stopped appearing every time I wanted to read or post something. Granted, the 2008 election is over. The proof or real change will come in 2010 and 2012.</description>

		<description>The question I put in was:

#87: I the wake of the last two elections, one of the issues I have seen on blog sites revolves around the political strategy of the Republican Main Street Partnership. There own web site states their goal is to reach across the isle in bipartisanship with the democrats and to combat conservatism. As RNC Chairman how do you feel about members of your own party who&#039;s stated goal is to combat members of their own party, but reach out in friendship to the opposition? Will you take any actions to prevent the undermining of the party from within?

Here is the link:

		<description>Although my registration also took overnight to come back. It is a bit of a rathole and I do have about 8 &quot;Welcome to ATR’s RNCDebate.org website&quot; windows open.  I just wish I could come up with one great question myself (that isn&#039;t dripping with snark). Personally I&#039;d like to kick the RNC&#039;s can down the road for a few days.

I&#039;m  afraid my 1st question would be  why does the RNC hire telemarketers who sound like they&#039;d vote for ANYONE but our guy/gal.</description>

		<description>if we are doing it ourselves.  Then this type of waste of others&#039; $$$ becomes an &quot;Everybody does it&quot; issue, and our case for smaller govt weakens substantially.

Further, I&#039;ll posit that one reason that Republicans got stuck with effectively the sole culpability in the credit crisis was McCain&#039;s hesitancy to attack the Democrats&#039; protection of the egregiously levered Fannie/Freddie &quot;hedge funds&quot; in an aggressive manner.

One likely reason for his hesitancy is that his campaign manager accepted fees from one of the two.  Oops, I guess Republicans will just have to bear the entire culpability (which should be equally shared) for McCain&#039;s political expediency.  

That&#039;s a HUGE, HUGE cost.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on the basic point. On the other hand the next 95 posts where you kept asking everyone to post the question sort of undercut your concept that you are lazy. A REALLY lazy guy wudda just given up.

But, seriously and all joking aside, I do understand your point.</description>

		<description>used the saltsman/duncan matter to address the larger issue of the lib msm lie that repubs are racist and smacked them back.

GOP, can we talk? We are the minority and as such, we must seize opportunities to debunk the msm lies about us.

Blackwell gets it and got it from jump street.

Embrace him.</description>
