Sorry, but you are wrong.

You can't ignore the internet.

If we do we will lose.

How do you think Obama won so big in 2008? Or the Islamists took over so quickly this spring?

They used social networking to spread their message.

Sarah Palin is the only Republican who understands this.

You can't just say "We need to hide in the closet and give up."

I didn't say anything close to that.

As far as *I* am concerned (as well as others in my field) we ARE the internet. And facebook isn't the only vehicle out there.

Now, don't get me wrong about Mrs. P. I think she's all that and a bag of chips. But we're all better off NOT to put all our hopes on one person.

1) depending on one person causes others not to get their arses off the couch and
2) We've seen what tyrants can and will do when strong willed women get too close to the seat of power.

I *know* Sarah can be the next president, she just has to survive until Inauguration Day. I firmly believe as things get closer, the latter will become more difficult.

Back to the matter at hand...

We cannot not always depend on facebook being there, just as much as we can't depend on even the INTERNET being here. I addressed this in a post awhile ago: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2666126/posts
