[glowing]

2. Nice.. that is awesome.. I have def. plans on being out of town that week the

pukes are in town.

[LynneSin]

60. Oh that's the best time to be in town

The protests will be fun as can be. I went to NYC for the 2004 GOP Convention and we shut down the city with all our protesting :D

[glowing]

61. Never thought about that.. But they go so police state around the gopers.

[foxfeet]

3. Bravo!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Well done!

I hope they get to see it.

[BurtWorm]

5. Brilliant!

If I had any Republican friends, which, thankfully I don't, I'd send them there.

[flvegan]

13. I sent my brother a link.

He's a 'pub.

[SpiralHawk]

[FreshRocket]

15. Thank you

Thanks to everyone for the very kind and much appreciated comments re: www.GOP2012Tampa.com. It seemed like a good idea and an "out of the box" approach to get an important message out there. We plan on keeping the site going and adding to it over the next several years.

[flvegan]

18. No, thank you!

And Welcome to DU!

[RagAss]

21. Good Work !.... Welcome to DU.

[AwakeAtLast]

28. Welcome to DU!

It appears this is the perfect place for you. :thumbsup:

[tabatha]

29. Very simple and to the point.

Well done. Well designed.

We need more of this kind of smart.

[BrklynLiberal]

44. Grea work Welcome.

[shireen]

46. the images make powerful statements

it's horrible and heart-breaking.

Thank you, and welcome to DU.

[tomm2thumbs]

48. loved it

hopefully all your keywords, page descriptions & comments will continue to make it appear within results for search engines for that purpose. great idea

[Turborama]

50. Excellent work!

I have been considering starting my own site about sustainability, specifically ecological economics and environmental issues, and need some help setting it up. I really like your skills and ethics and will be contacting you about your fees.

[tavalon]

52. Awesome dude!

Welcome!

[Lochloosa]

55. Thank you FreshRocket. Very nice.

And welcome to DU.:toast:

[myrna minx]

57. Thank *you*

*applause:

[calimary]

72. Seemed like a good idea? I think it's a FABULOUS idea!!!!!!

VERY good! Anything planned for other sites, maybe?

Btw - WELCOME TO DU!!!!

:yourock: :patriot: :fistbump:

[pengillian101]

81. Very good idea!

Welcome to DU :-)

[Liberal_in_LA]

16. nice

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. TY !! flvegan for sharing the genius with us.

Very well done.

[OhioChick]

19. Nice Catch!

:rofl:

[arcadian]

20. facebooked

:rofl:

[FreshRocket]

22. Twitter + Facebook too

We're just getting started with this, but also snagged GOP2012Tampa on Twitter and Facebook. Not much there yet, but please join us. FYI, the first media outlet to pick up on this was the local Fox affiliate: http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/seen_on_tv/514-woman-claims-gop-web-address

Thanks for the welcome aboard.

[flvegan]

23. Even MORE nice work!

[Luminous Animal]

25. Great work. Thank you.

[tavalon]

53. Faux?!

Oh, the irony. :rofl:

[rzemanfl]

80. Welcome to DU. Nothing like making a BIG entrance. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. AWESOME!!!

[walldude]

26. K&R n/t

[alp227]

27. Enjoy this while you can. The GOP will sue for cybersquatting.

There've been cases where famous people's names or other notable names get reserved in domain names for completely irrelevant websites. Did you know that a Texas real estate agent actually used to own the domain name thejaylenoshow.com? The agent used the domain as a redirect to his business web site.

[hootinholler]

65. They wont win

I predict that first amendment issues will come in to play if they do. Cyber squatting is one thing, free speech is another. That site is relevant to the GOP convention.

-Hoot

[Bryn]

30. Many Cheers for FreshRocket!!

:applause: and welcome to DU :hi:

[underpants]

31. Great site

thanks

[SpankMe]

32. This is a great idea!

Everyone on this board who can afford or has access to simple and basic web publishing resources should create and buy all of the Republican 2012 domains they can think of - stuff that really could be "GOP in 2012" URL's - and create simple, progressive political statements to put on them. Real protest stuff that will irritate Republicans and conservatives.

This is like a form of disobedience that harasses and interferes with their abilities to promote their stupid agenda.

CaliforniaGOP.com and .org are for sale. Looks like someone already did this for www.jindalforamerica.com; this URL has links to progressive web sites.

Run with this idea!!

[mopinko]

33. thank you

beautiful

[Fleshdancer]

34. Wow!

K & R!

[Plucketeer]

35. This is precious!

I'd say, intersperse the photos with shots of Palin, McPain and other drill-baby-drill luminaries!

[Plucketeer]

36. Almost perfect

I'd say, intersperse the photos with shots of Palin, McPain and other drill-baby-drill luminaries!

[donheld]

37. !

[Lisa0825]

38. While I applaud it, I do not laugh about it... heartbreaking pictures.

:cry:

But excellent usage of a url. Hats off to you, FreshRocket.

[BrklynLiberal]

45. Yes. Heartbreaking..but that is the point, I guess.

[Lisa0825]

74. yes, but so many were using the rofl smiley that I was expecting humor.

It's a great site, and very effective at making the point. I just don't get the laughter part.

[fishwax]

39. lol

:kick:

[Feron]

40. Thank you for sharing that masterpiece. nt

[Shining Jack]

41. Wow !

Hats off to you for posting this ! I hope that this thread will stay on the front
page for a long time !:evilgrin:

[BrklynLiberal]

42. BRILLIANT!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!

[Initech]

43. Beautiful!

[Shining Jack]

49. Kick !

:bounce:

[tavalon]

51. Everyone has been so pissed that the RNC is having their shindig in Tampa

I think it's funny in that tragic/funny sort of way. Do you think any politician is going to want to be anywhere near that Gulf by 2012? It's kind of like the RNC picking New Orleans just after Katrina. Yeah, that's what you want folks to be reminded of, yessiree!!

[PinkFloyd]

54. That's a very clever protest! Good job!

[Shining Jack]

56. Kick !

[chillspike]

58. We should all do something like that!

Imagine a thousand websites like that!

[cachukis]

59. Fabulous!

[geckosfeet]

62. Nothing funny about it.

It's modern tragedy.

[liberal N proud]

63. Perfect!

[CanonRay]

64. Diabolical!

:evilgrin:

[Dystopian]

66. KandR. Great find.

Tragic.
Not humorous ...but perfect.


peace~

[DesertRat]

67. Well done!

[KittyWampus]

68. -Golf Clap-

Well done, indeed.

Nice find flvegan

[DevonRex]

69. That is jaw-droppingly perfect.

And it made me laugh, too. Not at the crisis but at the absolute knockout punch it delivers.

[onethatcares]

70. I tossed that out in an online discussion area

the teapartiers present didn't think it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofunnny.:evilgrin:

[Cronus Protagonist]

71. Now it looks like the GOP is against drilling in the ocean

Perhaps it's changed from earlier. The message I got is that the GOP is against oil drilling.

[Shining Jack]

79. Yeah...

I'm pretty confused too. :P

[patrice]

73. Perfect equivalence for all GOP policy making and decisions.

[ThatsMyBarack]

75. GOPers will never get out the airport bathroom!

;)

[nvme]

77. if anything could pick me up

That just did

[Orrex]

82. A fitting response in limerick form

My goodness, that leaves an impression--
I love such well-channeled aggression!
Don't say it ain't clever;
Let others endeavor
On similar fits of expression!

Look on as Conservatives splatter
In blogs and in internet chatter--
Voracious, by golly,
Exposing their folly.
Since each is as mad as a hatter!

[FreshRocket]

83. Now that's creative!

[Shining Jack]

85. Not bad...

It could be a cool Rap song. :P

[workinclasszero]

84. Nice!

This illustrates perfectly what happens with unrestrained capitalism!

It KILLS the environment..

and in the end..

it kills YOU!

[FreshRocket]

86. Thanks for supporting GOP2012Tampa.com

DU has sent about 3,000 visitors to www.GOP2012Tampa.com so far. We're working on getting additional content, links, blogs, etc. up and running (actually, the news story hit before we were totally ready). Until then, we'd appreciate any FB folks to "Like" us at http://www.facebook.com/pages/GOP2012Tampa/126594127354561 and please follow us at http://twitter.com/GOP2012Tampa.

[flvegan]

87. Awesome!

That's a good bit of traffic.

And considering the number of Republicans that troll this board, I'm sure a decent bit of that traffic wasn't pleased with what they saw.

Keep up the great work.

[FreshRocket]

88. "Fake GOP convention website rails against oil drilling"

The St. Pete Times has now picked up the story:
http://blogs.tampabay.com/baybuzz/2010/05/fake-gop-convention-website-rails-against-oil-drilling.html

"Railing" is a good thing, right?

[flvegan]

89. Heh.

I think so. Mostly positive comments thus far, too.

[Shining Jack]

90. Kick !

That's awesome !
