Apparently tracking high-profile Republican candidates is a little labor intensive.
So, the Democratic National Committee today is launching a crowd-sourcing exercise to try and catch the next “chicken for checkups” or “Macaca” moment that has brought down Republican candidates in the past.
Calling it the “Accountability Project,” Democrats launched a website to collect volunteer video of Republican campaign events.
It’s not a new tactic. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s campaign has diligently tracked his Republican rivals, hitting upon the bartering for health care comments that eventually lead to Sue Lowden’s demise in the primary.
But this is one of the first organized efforts to expand the video collection.
Political paparazzi, gonna be some interesting lawsuits coming up.
This won't take long.
She told Bill Manders that she opposes abortion for rape and incest because pregnancies from these abhorrent acts are, "God's plan."
She said that rape and incest victims just need to "have a little faith."
who would have thought the modern hitler youth would come from the left?
The "Accountability Project" is a new program - and that qualifies as news. But, both of the major political parties have employed "trackers" for several political cycles now, often the R's use unknown D.I.N.O.'s,(Democrats In Name Only who have recently changed their registration), and the D's use R.I.N.O.'s, and both parties use Independents / Non-Partisans...all of them are just party of the politicl play today!
Now-a-days every political event is staged and highly controlled with few variables - the vast majority of the public has no idea what is going on behind the scenes - political science is also an art!
Whatever gets recorded gets sliced and diced by both sides (and all parties and all candidates do this)! Instantly, the for/against themes get set and pushed immediately into the constant media stream - then, the insanity of the masses takes over! Within just a matter of moments it is difficult to sort facts from fiction, which is the purpose, to create misinformation and disinformation to add to the confusion and chaos!
No wonder we have so few real journalist left to do the really hard work of finding facts and just informing the public - once the feeding frency begins it's really hard to see the truth with so much blood in the water!
This is why so much emphasis is put on building a message for the candidate (it's become a full on advertising scheme) and "Message Discipline" - which is subject to the foilbles of candidates (and that's why the trackers exist)!
Angle is a total amatuer! Now she's going up against a professional - and she's already done so much damage to her name and campaign I doubt she'll get anywhere near the votes she might have gotten (sure, her voters and the idiots that still voted for Gibbons will probably vote for her) - but, there's now a large, growing group of Republicans For Reid too!
Sit back, watch and listen closely folks, and enjoy the silly political circus in Nevada that has become a sham - I think as the saying goes, "This Cake Is Already Baked!"
The Tea Party's captive botnets have been sending what amount to chain letters to anyone they think might be a potential supporter urging them to short sell everything in sight - and apparently, they're already succeeding.
Since markets are leading indicators and have a major influence on consumer confidence, these "patriots" hope to cause another Crash similar to 2008 for the sole purpose of securing the election against incumbents.
This purpose may or may not be a legitimate one. But causing a Crash and a double-dip recession to do it is reprehensible.
Of course, it is not more reprehensible than an exact similar campaign waged by MoveOn.Org botnets in the summer of 2008 to help their candidates - and harm millions upon millions of Americans in the process.
We have to wake up to this vile - and Evil - behavior and do something about it.
Most real people - whether we call ourselves Republican or Democrat, Progressive or Conservative, Investor or Trader - don't make their purpose in life harming our fellow Americans, our fellow human beings.
But script bots and their botnets have no emotions, no morals, no integrity, no decency.
And we real human beings have now become mere pawns in "massive multiplayer games" which have moved out of the realm of World of Warcraft and Second Life and firmly into the realms of stock and bond markets and forex.
Am I being alarmist?
I suggest you Google "forex bots" or "algorithmic bots" or even "verbal sentiment bots" NOW. You will be shocked. Good! Because we ALL have to be shocked to the point we stop debating the wrong elements of Financial Regulation and start debating the right ones - how automated markets run by computers alone are literally destroying this country, this world, and all we hold dear.
The reality is that the voters do get the elected representatives they deserve! The only real question is "Will more informed voters turn out to beat back the uninformed idiots?"
It always comes down to "popular" (uniformed) voters and "pragmatic" informed voters (from all parties in the General Election) - it's all about GOTV (Get Out The Votes)!
Nevada is in bad shape folks!
We've seen how little the Republicans have done for most of us, and how much damage the Republicans have done for too long!
Like it or not, the Democrats are the only party in Nevada trying to set our ship-of-state right! It really doesn't matter if you personally like a candidate, or not, look at the facts! From Harry Reid at the top of the Democratic ticket, on down, the long-list of facts prove that we need to keep Nevada BLUE!
BTW: Before anyone writes my opinion off as just being partisan - not so quickly! I have voted for Republicans (and third party candidates)when, on occasion, they were the "BEST QUALIFIED" - but, in the 2010 cycle, it's totally O.K. to vote a straight Democratic ticket - as I fully intend on doing!
Prediction: Between now and Nov. Angle will spew out a youtube moment that'll make Lowden's gaffe look like chicken feed in comparison.
Sharron is a gold mine of stupid. It's just a matter of time before the idiot fuse is lit and her candidacy explodes.
Reid is also not making many statements these days for fear he would make stupid comments. Just like when he said like 36,000 jobs lost today is good which he probably meant because more will be dependent on Democrat dole outs in the form of unemployment monies which is actually funded by the taxpayers. Reid would like to make majority of the people destitute and dependent on them instead of creating jobs and making people work.
"Accountability Project". I love how they come up with these titles. Call it what it is; Corrupted Politics at it's worse.
marcvegas, there is plenty of discussion on what he meant by that statement. And it is logical.
@marcvegas you must be hiding in a basement. Senator Reid made plenty of statements and was interviewed on Saturday here in Las Vegas. You have to remember he has a job in Washington D.C. and isn't always available. When does come here he does make himself available. Unlike Sharron Angle he's not hiding in a bunker. When he isn't being interviewed here he is interviewed in D.C. As to the rest of your diatribe it's a lie.
It's the republican PARTY OF NO that doesn't give a rat's behind about people and wants to hold up unemployment to people who can be rendered homeless.
