the right wing needs its own "Rock the Vote" propaganda machine, and FAST

[blueaguave]

I'm concerned. Millions of conformist/liberal young people are being registered by mtv/Rock the Vote. The right wing needs to come up w/one, maybe Toby Keith, Nascar dudes, etc could be the spokesmodels. Cabela's, NRA etc could be sponsors

What we really need is an anti-propaganda propaganda machine.

It really is true that the RNC isn't a big one for registering voters... I'd like to see them doing more of that in SOME form or fashion

The RNC is not good at getting out the "dead" vote either. The dems have that down to a science.

I own the domain "rockthevote.us". If I could find a conservative that would use it productively for re-electing GWB, I would be happy to let them use it.

Incidently, what is REALLY behind "Rock the Vote"? Here is a top piece on Horowitz's site.

A blurb from the article...

In its issues section, the RTV website shifts from pretended neutrality to outright advocacy. On the economy, for example, RTV directs new voters to the AFL-CIO and the left-wing Berkeley Labor Center. Another link leads to the liberal Campaign for America’s Future. CAF proudly proclaims its disdain for school choice and refers readers to misleader.org, which Moveon.org—the group that formed to defend Clinton’s perjury—has formed in a cynical effort to discredit President Bush. On the environment, RTV again parrots the Left’s propaganda, opposing limited oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

and another from the conclusion of the piece...

Although a recent MTV-commissioned poll determined that approximately two-thirds of America’s youth support President Bush and the courageous liberation of Iraq (including Brittany Spears, hardly a "dork" or a "loser"), history teaches us that nothing can cure leftists pursuing a utopian pipe dream. From their base on the American university campus, radical groups will continue their campaign to subvert students' minds and place ideological blinders over young eyes. We live in an age when every vote counts tremendously. This was never more true that during our current struggle to strengthen our national security and protect Western values. In this struggle, these leftist organizations are working for the wrong side.

You're kidding right? I'm just shaking my head in amazement here, thinking about Brittany "rocking the vote." Bwahhahahaha!

[telos2000]

Why not, she has rocked every pimple faced, hormone ravaged teanage boy in the civilized world. She probably still has some rocking left in that plastic body.

Your comment makes no sense. Go read the quote in context.

Sigh, yes, including my own two teenaged boys. But they only like the body, they think she's pretty stupid otherwise

No thanks, I get the gist. Please let the rest of us know when we can also post opinion pieces without getting banned.

anybody under 35 or with any facial piercings shouldn't be encouraged to vote, dammit

[chippers21]

Careful Mayor. Sometimes your comments are a might critical of the person, rather than the comment.

[mayor]

Are you referring to my question to luv? I really didn't understand her comment. It seemed out of context to what I posted and didn't make any sense to me.
