I am a sleeper, especially on Sundays. I wake up early and post the Sunday Morning Talk Show thread, and then take a nap.

In fact, I just woke up an hour ago...

I get sick of that Zapping of people who don’t totally agree with any certain crowd opinion. Nobody should have to make up their mind yet.

Except I would be all for zotting Jeb Bushies. LOL

Not this crap again. Here is the true conspiracy. The Cruz critics are closet Putin loving homos.

Be helpful for those of us who don't speak geek, metrosexual, or techno, if you 'splain digital-astroturfing attack. (As in, you gotta lot of 'splaining to do, Lucy.) What is it, what does it do, and why one should worry about it?

Our candidate happens to be effective in his campaigning also.

Just who is "OUR" candidate and when was "HE/SHE" inaugurated as "OUR CANDIDATE"?

I was a huge Cruz fanboi; He was the only potential candidate that I really liked, the only one I sent money to...

Until His Wife’s Masters at Goldman-Sachs convinced him that his bread would be better buttered by them than by us mere peasants.

Now I despair not only by being stabbed in the back by the only one I had much hope for, but by the blind faith that so many at FR put into him (and Paul Ryan)

LegendHasIt, are you giving us an example of number 3 strategy? LOL!

Nor I. And what is this about “our candidate”? Did Jim endorse a candidate?

If you can bring facts/links to the exchange do it. Most capable of critical thought can see who the individual is who attempts to evade and deceive.

I'm glad to hear that.

Huh? Usually trolls can be easily outed after just a few posts.

Yes, it does seem that Cruz has fizzled and maybe shown his true colors. Some of the possible alternatives are difficult to consider because a few people want to spam everyone about them. Oh well, lots of time for things to develop.

Care to call me an astroturfing troll? Overall I like Cruz but think he is dead wrong about increasing H-1B visas. Any candidate who starts putting middle class mainstream interests above corporate interests will have a very compelling message. I hope Cruz comes around here.

I think it's easy to forget that Republican politicians do not represent the middle class...Even those who are pro America like Cruz...

Good question. Courtesy ping, to the boss.

(I guess we’re all astroturfing trolls, now :-/)

Who’s paying you for your disinformation attack?

I come here to FR several times each day. I read the articles and I sometimes make inane comments. I don’t post. I don’t even know how to post. That does not make me any more or less conservative. The one thing I don’t like about FR is being roasted for not posting.

Ditto! But I know how to post. Things here got heated, so I had to jump in to counteract misinformation.

What difference does it make? Freepers make up their own minds on the facts, not on what others think. No worries.
