Why do you think Bristol Palin went on "Dancing with the stars?"
Why was Palin one of the first to take full advantage of Facebook and Twitter?
Her "Sarah in Alaska" show also, and then you have the C4P website that does the live-blogging for her and acts as her de-facto secretary.
Republicans should have been doing this, and yes, start making appearances not only on Stewart and Colbert, but on other late-night shows as well.
I read a while back that the Koch brothers were buying up liberal newspapers around the country...well that's great, but who reads newspapers anymore? The 50 and older set, which is right now in charge of the nation. What happens, though, when they all retire, and Generation.com takes the reins? Holy crap! If you think tings are bad now, jut wait 'til those know-nothings take over. Think you'll have a happy retirement? Yeah right...they'll raid your 401Ks, portfolios and pensions to pay for runaway Social Security and Mediscare, and the myriad social programs they thought were so cool when they were in their 20s and 30s. The people we need to be reaching are the young people, not those who still read newspapers, belong to the Heritage Foundation, and watch TV news.
What Sarah Palin is doing is a good first step, but it's only a baby step. I think Glenn Beck has made a bigger move in the right direction with his Blaze Network, just he needs some better programming...what he has on now is lame.
I don't know how to go about making it happen, but some enterprising soul out there needs to create a fund through which conservatives can pool their money, to buy control of cable TV systems, TV networks, movie studios, record labels, sports teams, etc. Then they need to find conservative/patriotic artists, and promote them, instead of the likes of Tina Fey, Kanye West and Jon Stewart. Generation.commers aren't going to go looking for their entertainment, they're going to watch what's on when they turn on the TV. They're going to listen to whatever's on their favorite radio station. If we're going to get our conservative/patriotic message out to them, we have to acquire the means to deliver the message, and put it in a package they'll accept.
It's a huge undertaking, but it has to happen...and right freakin' now. Otherwise, we can just kiss our Republic goodbye in 10-15 years , when Generation.com starts getting elected to office. If Generation X (my generation) hasn't blown it all before then, that is.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
