This will further drive the RudyBots bonkers! LOL

It isn't the content of the "SpiffSpam" that drives people bonkers, it's the constant thread spamming that happens. People aren't stupid here, being exposed to something over and over and over again (like the SpiffSpam) is juvenile and isn't swaying opinion. I liken it to holding one's ears and yelling "Lalalalalalala".

You're way off base, Registered. Always respected you and your wonderful graphics, but on this issue, you're DEADWRONG.

You've been here long enough to understand how things operate. Each thread that is posted on Free Republic is equivalent to a separate "internet magazine" publication. FReepers number in the 200,000 plus range. A good percentage of that 200K is a good representation of how many FReepers are serious about their surfing around the internets premier conservative website. Not to mention the thousands of Lurkers that come and go, hour after hour, day after day, week after week. See what I mean?

IOW, if you want your opinion to reach the most FReepers and Lurkers, and have the most widespread exposure to the internet public at large, this is the way to do it. Posting the same factual account once, on multiple threads, is not spamming. If it was, JimRob would have removed most of Spiff's posts and article threads for that matter, a long time ago.

What Spiff is doing, and what I do with my anti-Rudy posts and threads, is called getting your message out. And it works. Its part of that 1st amendment thing called, free speech. The Founders were passionate about their political dissent and they wanted to assure future generations had the same right to freedom of speech they had in the beginning.

Actually, it is effective. You suffer from the false assumption that everyone reads every thread on a certain subject. Actually, they don't. Some people may not ever read a thread about Rudy until some headline piques their interest. They'll pop into the thread, see the factual material they've never seen before, and it will help them make a decision about whether they will support the most liberal Republican presidential candidate ever or an actual Republican in the race. I know this because I get FReepmails and responses all the time in response to factual posts that have been posted for weeks in the pro-Rudy threads from FReepers who had not seen the information before and they become quite outspoken in their derision for Rudy.

The Partial Birth Abortion post was pulled one day from several threads. Jim Robinson himself had them restored and gave that post a green light. The comparison table that I researched and created that has been posted a number of times also now bares his endorsement when I post it.

You're just sore because unlike your success in pushing RINO liberal Arnold Schwartzenkennedy and constantly beating on conservative Republican McClintock here during the California recall election, you're liberal candidate is getting beat over the head and you're not making much headway.
