GOP launches new website
By Eric Zimmermann - 10/13/09 10:27 AM ET

The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a new website today, featuring a flury of blogs, social networking tools and information on party history.

First time visitors to the site will be greeted by a digital Michael Steele, who walks on the screen to introduce the new site.

"We're building a digital space that grassroots Republicans can finally call home," the miniature Steele says.

Why are you a Republican?

Submitted by DaleinAdaOklahoma on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 00:30.

Finally got through...LOL

"Why? Because I believe in the Constitution, our REPUBLIC, small federal government, local control of schools, personal responsibility, staying out of un-declared and never ending wars....Oh wait a minute, I must be in the wrong place, that is what we "Republican" believed in before the GOP switched to "Republicrat". Perhaps if the GOP will truly listen to the grass roots movement then things can change, but I seriously doubt it. The GOP can't change simply by trying to become "hip" and "connected". My 83 year old grandmother can't become hip simply by joining facebook and putting some sag in her jeans...she'd just look silly. The problem lies in how far down the toilet our core beliefs have been flushed by big government suckups, not in how unconnected we are. In fact, if you haven't noticed (and you have hence this sight) those who are truly driven are very well connected. Just look who is represented here, and yet ignored completely by the GOP. Let me give you a hint.. DR. RP Sadly, nothing will change in what the GOP stands for. It will still be directed by the CFR Council on Foreign Relations, just as the democrats are, and we the people aren't what is important. CFR gives us two choices and they are always one in the same only one wears red and one wears blue. Divide and conquer. Did I mention I'm a Ron Paul Republican? Always registered republican, but never active because I saw through the sheepskin that the GOP wolves wore. Ron Paul has the guts to stand up to everything that is wrong with our government and the powers it now claims over we the people. This sight will have the truth spoken, and the people will listen. Either the GOP is with the people or you are still against us. The choice is yours. I expect the censorship and banning of members who truly love freedom and what the Republican Party historically stood for to commence rather shortly. Prove me wrong GOP part deux."

Check out this comment!

This was posted by someone on the blog "Why are you a Republican?"

"I guess I'm a Republican because I grew up with President George W. Bush. He was a great President, a real conservative, and someone I wish I could vote for again. President Bush protected us from islamofascists and Saddam Hussein when we needed him most. I would support any effort to amend the Constitution to allow George W. Bush to become President again."

I just about threw up. We have a lot of work to do to on this site!

Why would it spell the end for the DP?

Submitted by LastAmericanStanding on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 15:28.

A cool website to blog on for young Republicans is still putting lipstick on a pig.

It's the same ol' GOP and no amount of marketing is going to change the fact that they've lost touch with reality and the people they are supposed to represent.

If anything, I would go there and sow the seeds of Revolution.

The youth they seek will be their ultimate undoing.

Ron Paul group

Submitted by Njon on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 14:23.

Does anyone want to create a group at http://our.gop.com/community/search/groups.htm for Ron Paul supporters? If we're going to be a visible presence on this website I think that would be a good idea. I'd create the group except I probably would never update it with anything.

Yeah

Submitted by Will-Ebert on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 16:31.

Call it something like Liberty Republicans or Constitutional Republicans, to not turn people away from joining.

GOP Posts Password, Admin Instructions on New Web Site

Submitted by krolik on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 12:01.

Talk about transparency!

In their haste to get their new Web site up and running, the Republican Party has posted online a slew of things you wouldn’t normally expect.

Such as instructions on how to operate the Web site.

In checking to see who was in the New York State section of the site, (in addition to the other gaffes people have noted) we noticed three members. One was the “rnc-admin.”

Curious, we clicked. And there, we found, and downloaded, the “ForumsAdministrationDocumentation,” the “ForumsUserGuide,” and the “Admin_Guide,” among other things.

Oh, and Chairman Steele? You might want to have someone change that gmail account log-in and password.

There is a settings link you can click in the upper right-hand corner, next to the logout link. Try going to the forums and you should see it.

Thanks Njon

I couldn't find it, but since I know it's there, I'll find it when I have more time after work.

Did you see under the "Act!" tab, there's a link that says, "Donate for Democracy"?
Ugh, we have A LOT to teach these people.
