On a completely unrelated note, former RNC eCampaign Director Michael Turk wrote Monday that “the frightening advantage the left has is in a less touted entity known as the Analyst Institute (AI) and a consortium of behavioral scientists” who are “concerned not only with your characteristics and voting behavior, but how they can manipulate that behavior.”

Now, combine Obama’s political campaign with Google’s near-comprehensive real-time data and the left’s behavioral analysis. What do you get?

Beat.

If Teddy Roosevelt were alive today, he would try to break up Google.

Yes it was bad enough when progressives controlled “old” media.

But now with control of the internet based systems, they are truly triumphant.

And soon Google will become Democrats’ enforcement division. Has Google been stockpiling guns and ammo?

You are insane if you use any public free email/web host; you deserve to have your data stolen and used against you.

And of course conservatives are completely helpless.

Just what big tweak did zero pull off?

It was more like stacking the vote in certain precincts more than knowing that I said he could eff himself.

I have known for sometime Google was an enemy angle have refused to use them sadly they have their hooks into everything. Google’s data mining can be used against them, and gaining the upper hand is a few key strokes away.

Well now that we know how it works, time to start posting massive volumes of goofy stuff and make this bunch start chasing their tales a little.

Garbage In, Garbage Out, as they say.

It had nothing to do with ‘I Love Mandates’ Romney's campaign, the lack of a cohesive campaign across the entire federal ticket, or the vast number of RINOs running, but instead a secret database of real time information...

Gosh, RINOs have every excuse for why they lose. How about: You couldn't appeal to your base or offer an alternative to the incumbent so you lost? Or ‘You planned your victory party for Boston; what did you imagine was going to happen?’

How about we try something new: Offering real ideas and tough solutions to problems, and actually stick to our guns this time around and do it? Because that's what wins elections.

The android phones are also part of their data mining. they don’t see their leftist agenda as evil, so they use these great tools for evil instead of good.

use iPhone, windows 8, or blackberry. Drop Droid.

I don’t use Google or gmail,however, isn’t it Orwellian that they are able to track and feed so much data on personal habits and tailor those low info voter messages effectively? So many sheep...so little time. sigh... I’ll keep swinging with my las dying breath. God, please smite them.

This is why I don’t believe someone started FB in a dorm room or someone started Google in a garage. They’re just the front. That’s why the computer guys have dinner at the white house a lot. How many people would join a social website if they knew it was the government collecting information on them? There would be a lot less than there are now.

It would seem to me to work both ways. If suddenly Google started seeing lots of email passing through about “gun rights” and “anti immigration reform” then the gathered data could be skewed in that direction.

If millions of gun owners start searching for “ruger mini-14”, or 5.56 rifles that would certainly trigger some data mines.

Data mining in and of itself assumes that the data they are mining is clear and random. Just like we Freep polls people should be able to freep the mine.

Just takes a large number of people who are dedicated to completing the task for 5 minutes a day.

Let’s put this in its proper perspective.

A lot of it is bogus agit/prop-—a sweet-smelling front for Dem’s dirty backdoor campaigns. They are stealing billions to pour into campaigns (gotta get the House in Dem hands)-—and they have a voter fraud apparatus that is second to none.

This is also driven by the latino Fifth Column-—anxious to appeal to vote-crazed pols so’s they can get their greedy hands on foreign aid, and other state/federal freebies.

This stuff started at least as early as 1960-1968 when the Demonratic National Committee Chairman was John Bailey, who was also Connecticut Demonratic State Central Committee Chairman from 1945? until his death in 1974.

As Demonratic National Chairman, Bailey created a separate organization known as Group Research, Inc., to compile dossiers on Republicans and particularly on conservatives. By the early 1980s. Demoncrat Congresscritters were equipping their offices with mainframe computers and compiling electronic records on constituents' issue preferences, letters to the editor, public hearing remarks, political contributions and a host of other data.

Now they are said to be mining personal computer and internet data to better refine and individualize their approach to voters. If you are verified as a pro-lifer, you won't get their babykillers' rights agitprop. If you are a small business owner, you may get pitched in favor of abortion but not in favor of unions. Etc., etc., etc. Meanwhile, the GOP, thanks to the rank stupidity of the ohhhh soooooo moderate and polite GOP-E, has become the technologically obsolete party and the punching bag of American politics.
