GOP site gives listeners talking points to use with talk radio. Heh.
http://www.statesman.com/news/content/shared/news/politics/04reed1221.html
SNIP..."ORLANDO, Fla. -- In a downtown hotel ballroom, next to an evening seminar on real estate investments, Ralph Reed and a team of GOP operatives were working their own pyramid scheme.

Become a team leader for President Bush's re-election effort, they urged the packed room of local activists -- and bring five others with you.

Hand over your e-mail address and theirs, attendees were urged. Plus church directories, PTA membership lists, hunting club registries, college fraternity rolls and coffee klatch rosters.

SNIP..."But the jewel of the Republican effort is www.georgewbush.com. The interactive Web site has attracted 6 million supporters and offers chat rooms, event calendars and customized campaign tips. A Bush supporter in Florida's Orange County -- or anywhere else -- can enter his or her ZIP code and is immediately be given the phone number of every talk radio show in Orlando, plus pointers on what to say....."

Guess they are not intelligent enough to think what to say. Guess this is really staying on the issues.

1. They are just endorphin-addicted parrots.
Is that a mixed metaphor? :-)

2. Well, personally, I'm glad to hear of this...

A tool like this can be used just as effectively AGAINST the people putting it there...

Now I also have all the phone numbers they do,
and
now i also have all the talkng points they are going to be using.

It's kinda like getting to see your debate opponents notes before the debate.

But we still have to overcome the "moderator's" (talk show host's) bias.

Let's all go work on our "Crank Yankers" skills.

on edit: complete url referenced in the original post is:
www.georgewbush.com/GetActive/CallTalkRadio.aspx?aid=117

That will bring you directly to the page to enter your zip code.
The current "talking points" are on the right side of the page.

3. That's the Kind of Thing's Gonna Backfire
Radio people have radar and know the difference between someone who's calling on their own behalf and someone else's.

I think it'll be great if people use this; finally talk radio hosts might just get pissed off enough to turn on BFEE.

5. This paragraph on the site is just wonderful
Showing how completely these aliens have deceived the public.

In a responsibility society, each one of us is responsible for respecting our neighbors and taking ownership of our actions and words. Under the President’s leadership, we have seen the culture of service and responsibility grow around us.

The only thing the Reich-wing has taken ownership of is the rest of the country's money, freedoms, and pResidency. If lies were currency, the Bush misadministration would be the wealthiest corporation in the world.

6. Service and responsibility?
That boggles.

What do the true believers service in their neighborhoods?

They'd cheerfully walk over the body of anyone having the nerve to die in front of them, and keep on walking.

Some service.
