Would you sign up for a new DU Forum for the purpose of gathering & storing "GOP OPPO RESEARCH"?

[FrenchieCat]

Please take the poll, and confirm via a post if you would want to join such a group, right here at DU.....

My understanding is that a certain number of people must want it prior to admin allowing it!

Just think! A nice storage bin of Oppo on the Republican candidates....to be used at a moment's notice. A one stop shop, sorta speak!

This may be more productive in a long run.....cause anything we say about these candidates on these fast moving forum gets lost to quickly....

We can always mail our research in via LTE, etc....so that the Media can be encourage to deconstruct the Republican candidates the way they are deconstructing the Dem candidates.

YO PEEPS! THERE CANNOT BE A FORUM IF YOU DON'T LEAVE A COMMENT IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AS A POST. VOTES DON'T COUNT. THIS HAS TO BE SUBMITTED AS A REQUEST TO ADMIN!

[Phredicles]

1. Hell yes!

:evilgrin:

[TwilightZone]

2. Where's the "hell ya!" option?

This would be so much more useful than bashing our own candidates over and over and over (and over and over) again.

Edit: dammit Phredicles, beat me by one minute!

[FrenchieCat]

3. We can become drunk sailors within the forum......K?

:rofl:

[TwilightZone]

5. Agreed.

And, I don't even drink.

[AtomicKitten]

4. Put me down for "hell yes."

:)

[blm]

6. We have one in the Research Forum here, FC.

Soe of us have been adding to it for about a year now.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Great.....

But I was hoping for specifically a FORUM on "presidential election 2008 GOP candidates".

[knight_of_the_star]

12. This is more focused

And could also be used as a coordination center if you will. If we do this right WE could pick their candidate to run against, one that will lose no matter what.

[uppityperson]

7. I am slow. This would be a place to stick info against repubs, right?

Not a chit chat sort of forum, but a place to put opposition stuff? Thanks. If this is what you mean, yes, sounds like a good idea.

[FrenchieCat]

10. Yes......

There would be few threads...from how I envision it.

Just a place to put news articles, photos, whatever, on various GOP presidential candidates.

Might have a "HUCKABEE" Thread....and replies are information found...like say on his destroying those state records upon leaving the Gov seat in Arksansas.

Or a "RUDI" Thread....where you can locate nice photos of Rudi marching in the Gay parade....

etc....

[uppityperson]

13. That sounds like a good idea, info storage area.

Would have to be kept not chitchatty sort of stuff but being able to have this stuff in a more easily accessible place would be good. Thanks.

9. emphatic yes! nt

[knight_of_the_star]

11. Hell yes!

40. No such thing as TOO much information..

you've got my vote!

[pdrichards114]

14. I'd like the forum to discuss the details of each candidates criminal pasts

[FrenchieCat]

15. Now, that's what I'm talking about!

Then we can infiltrate RW sites and drop info in like big bombs!

LOL!

Could work you know!

[Adelante]

16. Oppo Moppo

Let's go!

[FrenchieCat]

17. Operation MopUp the Opposition candidates.....

I'll be loving to send in response to a McCain fluff piece by one of the Corporate Kiss ass News outlet and folder full! :patriot:

We can do this! :bounce:

[blondeatlast]

18. YES, INDEED. I'm all over this, FC. nt

[blondeatlast]

19. Furthermore, we can start shooting the talking points down richeer

in this forum!

[NI4NI]

20. I'm in!

I'd be even more enthusiastic about it knowing that Democratic Party candidates, pundits and members would eventually publically use any documented information that's discovered.

[Cameron27]

21. Count me in!

FC how about cross posting in GD?

[POAS]

22. Good idea!

Count me in, we need a good one-stop-shopping resource center to counter the Republics.

[bluedog]

23. count me in to dig up dirt! n/t

[Riddler]

24. Abso-damn-lutely!!!

[bluehighways911]

25. Great Idea/And More

I used to do this on my own on political boards.

Now, why not take it one step further. How about an email list of as much of the media as you can find. And also emails of Congressmen, Senators, and campaigns. I know all have web pages but if you don't live in that district won't do much good.

I once had a list off all the news articles, mostly from Rueters about actual CIA and other Countries intelligence that showed Bush was full of shit on the WMD's connection.

I shut up quite a few of my local blowholes.

So besides digging up dirt on Republicans. Also get the facts on their daily lie and cordinate an effort to get the media to do their job.

I know it will be like talking to a brick wall. But as soon to be President Obama said in his announcement. When a million people are calling for a change. They won't be able to ignore it.

[Cameron27]

27. Hi, and welcome to DU!

There's a list of media contacts in DU's research archives. I like the idea for mailing out the info as a second step.:hi:

[snowbear]

26. FrenchieCat.. you always have the "bestest" ideas !!!

And besides that.. you just flat out (((ROCK))) ~~~~

[Stand and Fight]

28. I would very much love to be involved in an effort like this... n/t

[jefferson_dem]

29. Yup-erooo.

Sounds like a great idea!

[FrenchieCat]

30. Ok....I am going to propose this to admin.....

I'll post my proposal when I'm done!

But let's get more people on board.

So far I don't count as many as we might need! :(

Come on peeps....show some love on this Valentine's day.....for the OPPO Forum! :bounce:

[knight_of_the_star]

32. Excellent

We're going to need to get more on board, please go hit other group boards, special interest forums on here who might be interested.

[FrenchieCat]

34. I'll do it tomorrow morning....on GD!

Thanks for the suggestion! :thumbsup:

[nicknameless]

31. Great idea

You have my vote

:thumbsup:

[FrenchieCat]

33. Thanks!

:hi:

[DonkeyInChinaShop]

35. Sure, but they would be able to see it.....

[wyldwolf]

37. how about, then...

...it only be visible to those with high post counts reduce the chances of them seeing it. Wouldn't completely eliminate the chances, but would reduce them.

[FrenchieCat]

43. We want it to be seen......

in particular by the news media snoops. Plenty of those lurk here, ya know!

[wyldwolf]

36. Let's do it.

[Bonobo]

38. You have my strong support.

Whatever it takes.

I'm not too shabby with google..and I enjoy it. You'll find me in such a forum, digging, digging.

Thanks, Frenchie Cat!

[Doctor_J]

39. Yes - anything to get the Fox News addicts out of GD-P

the sooner the better

[JNelson6563]

42. What of those who do Faux dirty work?

Plenty of those stinking up GDP are busy doing the rethug's work for 'em. I think we should have a special forum for them. We could call it Forum for Useless Assholes. ;-)

[Auntie Bush]

41. I'm all for it!

HEL-LA YE-AH! Let's have a "GOP candidate OPPO research" Forum -I enter my approval below!

Approval granted. If anyone can do this...you can!

I don't have any research abilities but I will do what I can do.

I'd give you another heart for your effort and dedication...except I don't have any more. :cry:

[merci_me]

44. Reporting for duty!!! n/t

[Crunchy Frog]

45. Wonderful idea Frenchie. Count me in.

:patriot:

[FrenchieCat]

46. Haven't had a chance to draft my suggestion.....yet,

cause I've been busier at work than I initially thought, but I will do this this eve!

Thanks for all who are interested in joining such a forum.....hope that it will be done!

[tbyg52]

47. Great idea! nt

[Australian]

48. No, discussing new policies the Democratic Party could use sounds more productive

Besides there web sites already specializing on gathering & storing "GOP OPPO RESEARCH".
A active forum like DU could actually get feedback about ideas and help develop suggestions which could help the Democratic Party help the United States and world. I hope Rupert Murdoch's global removal of investigative journalism and dumbing down of the News media hasn't yet acted like a frontal lobotomy on Democratic as well as Republican supporters.

[Eurobabe]

49. You can't be successful unless you know your competition

This is a no brainer! Hell yes, we need this.
