Question on 1,000's of callers
I have often wondered do certain things(like CBS on Reagan)get 1,000's of individual callers or a lot of the same callers loading up. CBS said thay had gotten 1,000,s of calls and emails on Reagan movie.

Same with e-mails can't the same person use different e-mails to load up making it seem like there are actually 1,000's of e-mails when it is a few of same persons? Noted in Florida right to life case the paper said the Govorner had gotten 1,000's of e-mails so he had to act.

Dumb post maybe.

1. This is the Mighty Wurlitzer at work.
There are phone and email trees, with their engines at idle, constantly ready to go whenever the Right Wing gets its secretly-worn panties in a wad. With a few keystrokes, one email can be delivered as a hundred.

If we had organization like this, Gore would be IN the White House.

2. Well, we do
Sort of, just not as powerful.

Plus Liberals tend to get bogged down on irrelevent questions--which is a sorce of strength sometimes but also a weakness.

3. AMEN on the irrelevant questions!
There are a handful of issues that will NEVER be resolved, yet they're sucking up 80% of the available oxygen in the GD forum right now. Pity, that.

More :smoke:
Less :grr:
