The FreeRepublic News group has two entries: Anthrax and the War on Terror. What about a third category -- Tea Party.
I really want to send some folks in Washington, DC packing -- packing their bags and going home.
I believe that Teaparty has earned the right to have its own Newsgroup on FreeRepublic.com
Along that lines, maybe there could be something special set up for the Fall Elections. Since we always seem to have Fall Elections, why not a Fall Elections News Group.
This is not to say that keyword searches such as TEAPARTY or ELECTION2010 is wrong, it just might be something to consider on FreeRepublic.
We currently have, under the News Topics, two topics under Hot Topics -- Anthrax and the War on Terror.
I wonder how hot a topic ANTHRAX is these days -- especially to have its own topic.
Anthrax shots hurt.
I so, I suggest calling it :
Tea Party movment
... nothing that makes it sound like a single group.
Maybe it is a good reason why we should not to give anyone ideas... De-list it as a hot topic.
We might as well do some brainstorming in this discussion.
I like that -- calling a FreeRepublic topic: the Tea Party Movement
Oh, I only had to have the shots because some people have already gotten those ideas...and I live kind of near them.
Well, then I vote for “CWII” as a hot topic.
What the hell is that?
I pay zero attention to the hot topics list.
Id like to see an 8/28 - Restoring Honor topic. This gathering could dwarf last year’s 9-12 rally.
Keyword it or something. TEA Party is better off / more powerful being a loose-knit association of individuals.
It’s at the top my hot topics page.
Go into your config and change your setting to reflect it.
And don’t ask me how, I don’t know how it got there anyway.
LOL
Have you asked him?
...I believe he would be receptive.
I suggest you ask him about a 'Mitt Romney Sucks' topic at the same time to better your chances.
I didn't even know there was one.
So, I decided to make flippant comments. :)
I suggest a hot topic of:
RINO HUNTERS
When a Rino is discovered, he/she could be added to the list along with all the reasons making him/her a Rino.
Someone would need to be the keeper of the official list and keep it updated.
Spell it right. T.E.A. party. The TEA part stands for something: Taxed Enough Already. Capitalizing, as in Tea Party, not only loses that emphasis, it makes it look like a political party more than a movement.
For example, some people like to look at the "Breaking News Forum" to see what is considered really important (8.3 earthquake in Japan, someone in Congress dies, etc).
This is on the right hand column on FreeRepublic -- towards the top.
The "Hot Keywords" on the top Left side...
Prayer SCOTUS KaganTruthFile ProLife BangList Aliens StatesRights WOT HomosexualAgenda GlobalWarming Corruption Taxes Congress Elections Obama NaturalBornCitizen ACORN TalkRadio CopyrightList Rally WalterReed TeaParty TeaPartyExpress TeaPartyRebellion FreeperBookClub
I don't see "Anthrax." I see various Tea Party groups and since the WOT is still going on, I don't know why it wouldn't remain a hot topic.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing?
And though people might like to refer back to the folks in the 1770's, relaying the fact that we are Taxed Enough Already is important...
