‘CATALIST’: Obama’s Database for Fundamentally Transforming America

PJ Media's Rule of Law ^ | September 17, 2014 | J. Christian Adams

The Reagan era is ancient history. Politics has changed from that day so significantly it is not even the same thing as it was then.

All of the Borg-like groups work in unison to feed the database.

There is also the phrase of the Borg ... 'Resistance is Futile! You will be Assimilated!' Never paid too much attention till once when was talking with a local democrat chairperson a little over a decade ago. The local democrat chairperson stated the Borg line directly to me and added, 'like it or not we know you and we know America and you will see our handy work soon.' I was a bit taken back and said, 'so your lies are going to work this time?', to which came the reply, 'the lies are only lies if we say they are lies'. Have woken since that decade plus but the zombies are in control so there has to be something to this article; at least in my neighborhood. The local democrat chairperson told the truth for once and only once. My story of something that happened ... locally. And locally in a once solid Conservative county, where I live, democrats control nearly everything. Has been an odd ride.

GOPe think

yep, there lays the problem. The system is rigged where Conservatives need not apply.

I appreciate the ping to this article, will read & study it & the comments.

Rove on steroid + heroin.

Rove was supposedly the genius that mastered the list to find those to be micro-targeted down to each precinct level. I am sure it was an exaggeration.

But not libs, they are more thorough and even more ruthless.

A good afternoon to you bump. I hope you are doing well.

. . PS: There are plenty of conservative programmers and engineers put there and they know a little about consulting, contracting and excess taxation.

I can't imagine Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and others are not aware of Catalist and the importance of a like list for conservatives. How many conservatives do you know who did not vote? Right. That has to change if we are going to win the big ones, Presidential 2016 and beyond.

The left is well organized and acts in unison. If we want to win, we have to do the same. A conservative Republican Catalist, further efforts to fight voter fraud, and getting active locally are now requirements to win. They are at war with us to fundamentally change the country to a socialist/communist country. Now That's worth fighting against! . . I think it was Beck who said we are currently in a Cold Civil War. Work and fight like we're at war. We are. .

In Oregon there is an effort to do something similar to Catalist....but, it makes a lot of people VERY uneasy....they collect EVERYTHING on you....magazine subscriptions, voting info, buying habits, EVERYTHING. I don’t think most DEMS care....but lots of GOP/CONS do NOT like the collection.

I’m really sick of that lie. I don’t know of any conservatives who didn’t vote, and I doubt you can name more than a handful yourself. The GOPe is great at repeating lies, but extremely poor with facts.

The most readily apparent difference between “the left” and the GOPe is that the left doesn’t pretend to be conservative, nor engage with conservatives to boost their vote. They are vociferously leftist. How do you explain their wins?

They aren’t moderate; they aren’t inclusive; they don’t put forth weak candidates. They never apologize! Yes, many of their candidates suck, but not because they are moderates. Their “moderates” are more leftist than the most extreme right of our most “conservative” candidates.

Continuing the GOPe’s losing strategy only guarantees more losses. It put Obama in office twice, and you want to do it again, why?

I have not, nor have I seen anyone suggesting not voting or voting Democrat. We are simply voting for conservative candidates—however many that may be. If the GOPe continues to push losers, than they will lose. It’s their choice, not ours. We have had enough.

Sell your lies to the liberal wing. I pray that you lose big time, or the country is doomed. Until the GOP returns to principle, they deserve absolutely nothing.

Rove was supposedly the genius that mastered the list to find those to be micro-targeted down to each precinct level. I am sure it was an exaggeration.

I remember listening to Hannity on the drive home, election day 2004. He had Ralph Reed, who had been running GOTV ops in Ohio, on. Reed said that the Bush/Cheney Campaign had exceeded all of its GOTV/Turnout goals in Ohio and that Bush was going to win the state.

This was about the same time that Bob Shrum was calling Kerry "Mr. President" over their numbers showing them winning in Ohio.

We know who got inaugurated on 1/20/2005. Rove is actually damn good with numbers on both a tactical and strategic level. And to a lesser extent overall campaign management. He completely sucks at ideology, and should be kept as far, far away from it as possible - he starts blurring the lines between the two and lets the numbers lead him to arguments and decisions best approached from an ideological perspective.
