At least not in a general election.
What a waste of talent in in FR if the news we get here is not posted on the Facebook pages of people like Obama.
I mean, everybody here is going to republican. That's a given. I use what I learn in Freerepublic to battle the liberals and independents in other forums. Facebook and Twitter are the most powerful forums to change out government. If you don't believe. Ask Egypt.
If all republicans were to delete their accounts, who's going to be behind me when I post a URL in the comment section of Barack Obama's Facebook page the rebuttals his original post? The man has 18,913,150 followers that will view your post. You could take more votes from Obama in one post than you could a whole year of posting in Freerepublic (because we're not going to vote for him anyways).
When Barack Obama posted his Libya issue on Facebook. Millions read it and 1,450 commented. Me, I posted a few links I got from here in the comments in his page. One of them "Al Qaeda Commander Admits Libyan Rebels Are Linked To Al Qaeda" and I posted other damaging posts. The man has to be challenged. And what better way to challenge him with his own supporters and undecideds reading his posts the comments.
I also follow our side, Sarah Palin...etc. I think social networking is an excellent tool for wining votes. Again, just look at Egypt. We can participate or we can just let it fall. Sorry, those guys already have cable tv networks, the newspapers and FM radio... I'm not about to let them have the internet as well.
Do whatever you please but I'm not deleting mine.
Agreed. Some really know how to use it well, too. A talk show host in Madison uses it to the hilt to inform us what is going on in the Capital. And she can control it so the trolls don’t bombard it with their crap. It’s been the most effective use of FB I’ve seen yet by any conservative.
