Taking the LOL out of the GOP (muledesign.com)

I disagree--we should instead continue what appears to be the current trend, namely, putting 4chan in charge of the national political discourse. This seems likely to substantially increase the amount of honesty, intelligence, and common sense involved in the whole process.

Some Republican thinkers share your sentiment.

That part showing the submission was hilarious: "The government should never give you up, never let you down, never run around and desert you. Never make you cry, never say goodbye, never tell a lie and hurt you" I would upvote that on a gov 2.0 website.


I feel slightly rickrolled.


The whole site has been trolled to hell now. There was one "idea" that was something like "This is more fun that 4chan".

It's also failing pretty often. I'm sure the GOP will calim that is a sign of success: "x million visitors in the first 12 hours"

It's sad that sometimes I can't work out if it is trolling or serious. Eg: http://www.americaspeakingout.com/questions/4441/first-ensur...


The comments on that were pretty epic. ;)


Those submissions really need to take into account the economic credentials of Reagan Republicans. Which would mean having MONKEY DAY in March, not December, to provide a necessary retail boost.
