From the "American Values" section of Americaspeakingout.com:

"Stop publishing gimmicky websites that filter out unpopular comments and end up dumbing down the debate while distracting attention from the fact that republicans don't have any good ideas of their own. (See YouCut.com, National Council for a New America, Rebuild The Party, etc.)"

Posted by "Sir Vitter" it looks like...

This looks like fun. Many other fun posts to check out too: http://www.americaspeakingout.com/browse/questions/in/life

4. How about this one
Take a true small government position and get government out of abortion and marriage rights. Let any woman get an abortion prior to the third trimester and allow any two individuals to be married. Anything else is hypocrisy.

5. Those avatars are ridiculous!
Why on earth would they require you to choose an avatar of a specific race/gender?!?

7. The whole site is a mess. Locks up if you try and register a vote up or down.

8. Another couple good ones:
"How about instead of wasting taxpayer money on stupid websites like this which, lets face it, is just another forum for people to vent stuff that you will ignore, you actually work to make the existing political process represent the will of the people instead of the special interests. One campaign finance reform. Two make it so that the campaign season is way shorter so you guys can actually do some work on fixing the country rather than pimping yourselves out and coming up with dumb ideas like this website."

And:

"Americans should "peel one off" more often. This would help relieve tension and allow people to see issues more clearly as they won't be distracted by things like libido and stuff."

:)

10. Another good one...
"Conservatives should remember that their belief in very little government intervention doesn't end at the bedroom door. If you believe government has no right to tax people for a common good (despite what the Constitution says) it certainly has no right to tell people who they can be with and what they must do with their own bodies."

How long before they give up on this? Anyone want to guess?

I'm sure their taking all of these suggestions to heart, aren't you? }(

11. I give them a week before they tire of it.
Edited on Tue May-25-10 04:44 PM by Buns_of_Fire
But for that week, it could be more fun than The Site Which Shall Not Be Named...

"There ought to be a Constitutional amendment banning cannibalism in every state except Kentucky."*

Oh, yes. We could have a LOT of fun with this one!




* An actual entry (with seven votes!). I didn't write it, so -- anyone from Kentucky reading this -- please feel free to substitute the name of your favorite state instead of getting yourself all upset about it, deal? :-)

12. sorry I'll have to come back to the article a little later.
I'm having a difficult time taking anything seriously from a site I thought was named
"America's peaking out"
