Mount Up and Ride McCain/Palin to Victory!
Hey All.
What a week. St. Paul is a great city filled to the rafters with McCainiacs. For any doubters of John McCain, their questions have been answered and the faith should be renewed.
In John McCain we Trust and in his awesome new side kick Sarah Palin.
Mount up friends. Stay the course and blog on. Only providence can stop us now and we know whose side HE is on.
Hey all.
I’d like to take a moment to revisit the rules of engagement when attempting Outreach at a liberal blog.
I’ve been noticing some of you newer McCainiac Bloggers have been getting rough out there with your comments on the blogosphere. At the McCain Liberal Blog Outreach Initiative, we help dedicated McCainiacs bring open minded and reachable liberals to John McCain. We are positive and use Reason not Bluster.
When circumstances dictate and it becomes time to take off the gloves, we have professional staff that may mix it up on the Blogosphere using Approved Combative Rhetoric. But as far as our volunteer McCainiac Bloggers, we expect them to use positive language and stay away from Combative Rhetoric. So here is a reposting of some of our Rules for Outreach.
The McCain Liberal Blog Outreach Initiative is designed to reach reachable fair minded folks.
So when venturing out to the Liberal Blogosphere, remember to play nice. You can write about why John McCain would make a good President, but that does not mean you should tear Barack Obama down. Obama is a fine candidate and may make a good president someday when he gets more experience.
Be positive. Stay Positive.
That’s all for now. Remember John McCain knows War. John McCain knows how to win wars. If you can’t follow orders, you are not helping John McCain.
Now go hit those blogs!!!
Hey all.
Back for another tip? Any of you been hitting the blogs posting the good news about John McCain and experienced this. You’ve returned to a site where you frequently post and find someone else using your screen name? But that’s not the worst of it, the person using your screen name is pretending to be you and now supports Obama ! ? ! Say your screen name is McCainiac_44 and you see:
Well everyone who posts on this board is familar with Me McCainiac_44 and my postings and knows me to be a strong supporter of John McCain. Well from reading the posts on this Board I now have come to believe that Experience is important but Change is more important. And this is why I now believe Obama should be President and urge all other McCain supporters to reconsider and support Obama.
Well, you have just been sockpuppeted, my friend. And the person pretending to be you was running a sockpuppet. By running a sockpuppet, the dishonest poster can mislead readers of the blog into thinking a long time McCain supporter had changed his mind and is now supporting Obama. What to do? You could argue with the sockpuppet as to the identity of the real McCainiac_44, but this rarely achieves the desired effect.
Well here is a tip. Change your ‘Handle,’ meaning adopt a new screen name. It does not matter which name you choose it could be “J-Mac Fan” or anything else. And then respond to the Sockpuppet like this:
I know McCainiac_44 and he is at the yatch club tonight and not near a computer. I am sure when he gets back to his computer tomorrow, he will be back posting cool stuff about John McCain. This person proclaiming support for Obama is running a Sockpuppet! Don’t fall for this trick.
By changing your ‘Handle‘ you can Handle the Sockpuppet!
There are other ways to beat a Sockpuppet, such as Turning the Sockpuppet Insideout, but this will get you started for now. Well that’s the tip of the night. Good luck blogging!
Hello Friends.
I trust you have been busy blogging away about John McCain. Speaking of which time for our next lesson.
Have you ever been posting comments about John McCain to find a fellow commenter who shares your passion for John McCain but also has a concern about him. Say this fellow commenter posts something like this:
I am a registered voter and I, too, like John McCain and would like to vote for him very much. I think he would be an excellent President, but I have a concern. I am worried that John McCain may be too old to handle the rigors of the Presidency. Being President is hard and causes great stress. This is a concern to me. Because of this concern I don’t know if I will vote for him. Like I said I am very concerned.
What to do? It appears that you have met a “reachable voter” who is willing to vote for John McCain. But don’t be fooled. You have just encountered a “Concern Troll.” A Concern Troll uses subterfuge to make you think that he shares your beliefs. By doing this the Concern Troll seeks to change your mind about John McCain or cause doubt. This is done by persuasively raising a seemingly valid concern while posing as your friend. This practice is underhanded but often practiced on the internet. Be on your guard for this tactic.
When you encounter a Concern Troll be wary….because the Concern Troll is not your friend. Well that’s your tip for the day.
Enjoy and have fun blogging about John McCain.
Hey All.
Long time no blog. What’s it been a few days? Well I’m back after a quick 5 days in Ontario on R&R where a certain awesome someone who is on the VP short list was rumored to be chilling (hint initials M.R.).
I want to thank Da Hipstah for filling in while I’ve been out. I see he been partying more than blogging again. But its back to work for me. Speaking of which, how about a tip for the evening?
Here’s one. Have you ever been blogging about John McCain and his vast experience and leadership only to be rebutted by a boisterous liberal? What to do? Well, John McCain can help you out. Just go to John McCain’s Website and click on ISSUES. You’ll find a webpage full of information about John McCain and his vast experience.
Just selection a topic, say, The Economy, or National Security, or Iraq, or Strict Constructionist Judges, or The Right to Bear Arms or even Health Care and MORE! Read up and select the text John McCain has provided for you. You can copy from John McCain’s Website what you want to use to rebut the boisterous Liberal and post it right to the Blog!
An instant dose of John McCain and some straight talk. That’ll straighten things out. What’s not to like? It couldn’t be easier. Like I said before, John McCain practically sells himself, so you don’t have to.
Anyway, that’s the tip for the night…. a little techno buzz for your blogging fun.
I’ll be back tomorrow for a lesson on the infamous “Concern Troll.” Hint – The Concern Troll is not your friend.
Hey All!
No doubt that reaching out to liberals, moderates and undecideds on the blogosphere and sharing the good news about John McCain has it rewards. But there are challenges as well. Have you commented on a Blog only to have your comment taken out of context by another person on that blog? Say you have posted a comment that says something like this:
“National Security is important to me. John McCain has many years of experience with National Security. That’s why I am voting for John McCain, because he is the best on National Security. “
This sounds like a perfectly reasonable comment. It is factual and emphasizes one of John McCain’s many strengths. But the next thing you know another commenter has posted his own comment. And this new comment challenges the basis of your comment in an unfair manner. For example, the new comment may say:
“Now if McCain is so smart about National Security, why can’t he use a computer or even surf the net? If someone does not know how to use a computer, how he can he be trusted to understand National Security? This is why I do not trust John McCain on National Security.”
How are you to respond? These two issues are clearly not interdependent. One can understand National Security and not understand computers. What has happened, is that you have encountered a Troll. A Troll is not interested in debating John McCain’s National Security experience. A Troll is interested in discussing his pet issue or preventing you from discussing John McCain’s vast experience. Trolls often will troll blogs seeking opportunities to disrupt responsible discussion in favor of the Troll’s pet issues or general disruption of any discussion on the topic at large.
What to do? The answer is simple: “Don’t feed the Trolls.” When a Troll strikes, your response should be to ignore the Troll and his comments. If everyone commenting on a blog ignores the Troll, i.e., does not feed him, he will go away. Often times Trolls post outrageous comments to get attention. So if you do not give him any attention, he will leave to troll some other blog on the Blogosphere.
This approach always works. So give it a try!
Anyway here is your tip of the day. Now go hit the blogosphere and post some good stuff about John McCain. And remember Don’t feed the Trolls!
Hey fellow McCainiacs, Da Hipstah checking in with some techno-buzz.
