You have to hear what the GOP sent me today by mail...
A few weeks ago I read about signing on to GOPteamleader.com and becoming a team leader. As a member you can say you've registered new voters or done other GOTV things, or writing letters to the editor. WEll, you get 10 points or so but I figured out that you can just hit back and forward and you can get 1000 points in a minuite or so. SO I turned my points in for a fleece vest with the evangelical team logo on it, and a fold out lawn chair. I got it in the mail today. They're actually really nice.

they were fed ex'd to my house and they are heavy! It must have cost them a bit for shipping and for manufacturing. So head over there and sign up. it's really easy, and you can free stuff and make them spend their money.

Ironically, I just got some of my John Kerry bumperstickers in the mail today also. One of them is going on that chair...

Happy wasting the GOP's money to all of you!

2. I'm feeling a bit ambivalent about what you've done...
...but mostly I think it's kinda funny.

6. They have different actions you can do...
and you type in what you've done like :e-mailing a friend (an alter-ego e-mail), or saying you help up a Bush sign, or called a radio show. It's all bogus.
And then hit back and submit, back and submit...
Have fun..

5. I had a friend who would run for office as a GOP and fleece the PACs
We lived in a blue dog democrat town, so he had no chance of winning. He would have political meetings and send the bills to some GOP organization for reimbursement. The meetings were actually a beer kegger with gourmet catered food for his buddies.

22. Cool!
My SO is from Hubbard!
Actually, I like the area. Looks very blue-collar liberal to me, from what I've seen. Beats Columbus GA in that respect.

13. Yeah, took me a bit to figure it out too
but voter registration is the fastest way to go :)

Free GOP Swag, here I come!

I'm going for maximum irony, and getting the fleece that says "Environmental Team Leader"

16. Is it just me?
Or is this wrong? Its hard for us (DU'rs) as a community to take the high ground aginst freeper trolls and disrupters when we have DU'rs being disrupters. How much outrage do you think there would be from this board if the same post was on FR advocating doing the same to the Democratic party....

17. Amazed
I'm just amazed that they haven't picked up on their horrible programming error on their site. It seems like a very obvious problem, that is extremely easy to fix. But I guess the fact remains, they are republicans. Not the shiniest penny in the fountain. It nice that you're taking advantage of it. They can't pursue any legal actions, because its their own fault.

19. And these are the same people who hacked the Dems
and said it was the Dems fault for not making it impervious to attack.
Fire at will.
Reload and repeat.

20. I guess whatsisname the Congressional aide
who penetrated all the Dem emails pretty much used this same argument:

"their horrible programming error on their site {is} "a very obvious problem, that is extremely easy to fix" {so it's} "nice that you're taking advantage of it. They can't pursue any legal actions, because its their own fault."

In other words, it's at best unethical, and I wish we wouldn't become them in our zeal to beat them.

On the other hand, that idea about getting pac $$ to run a bogus campaign has real potential. I can't say why the one idea disturbs me and the other doesn't.

23. I think this thread should die
We know they read our board, and we should probably keep this quiet if we want to be able to exploit it.
