Why we're losing the message, in part

[EstimatedProphet]

go to any political blog, any of them at all - liberal, conservative, even any mainstream news article that mentions the word politics. Any of them. More than likely you will see an ad saying something like "One Term Only? Vote NOW!" or "President Palin? Vote NOW!" or some other attempt at giving repubs blowjobs. NewsMax has ads EVERYWHERE. We talk about Fox News all the time, but NewsMax damn near owns the internet and does the exact same lying thing Fox does.

1. We're losing the message with ordinary voters because of web ads?

Do you also believe that self-selecting web polls determine who the Republican nominee will be?

2. No, I believe that every time people go to a webpage...

They see an ad hyping repubs and slamming Obama. It's continual messaging to vote repub, whether they follow the link or not. We focus on Fox generating a negative atmosphere, and ignore the 24/7 campaign from NewsMax.

3. People who go to political blogs have pretty much made up their minds...

...and people who don't go the political blogs aren't seeing ads from Newsmax.

4. If it were just political blogs, maybe

But they hit all sorts of websites besides blogs. So actually, yes they are.
