Dear CPC, it might be wise in the future to perhaps bounce some of the stuff coming out of the war room off some friendly supporters before going public. We work for free, are familiar with politics, spin and it's effects, and I can guarantee you that it will save you some grief.
Thanks

part of a vast right wing untapped resource.
Everyone has an opinion, but only some are right. Don't patronize or try to spin me, it won't end well.

Tired of undelivered big promises and big government in general. Even more tired of being treated as an idiot by the spin artists found at all levels of government.
What they are saying about Alberta Ardvark
Scott Reid: "you got me wonderboy"
Adam Goldenberg: "You're too kind."
BigCityLib one of their "saner supporters"
Dan Gardner: "Are you offering to promote my books for me? No? Then shaddup."
LibArtsAndMinds: "You're smarter than this."
Brent Butt: "Yes. You are right. I am wrong. I feel shame."
Frank Graves 1: "Okay ! this is the second time you got me with careless tweeting . And once again I defer to your catch. Good one!" 2. "Sheesh! are you available as a real time editor?"

OT, Ted Morton resigns as minister of finance.
Yup, now he is free to campaign for the PC leadership.
I also wish that the CPC War Room had ran the pooping puffin by us ... well not literally.
R&R agreed, that is another one that would have been stopped long before anyone in the public would have ever seen it and without the resulting backlash.
That is what we do. We follow politics and all that is associated with it, we attack, we defend, we spin, we counter spin, we know how the other guys are going to respond because that is the way we would respond, and most of all we do it from outside the bubble, where sometimes people inside don't see as clear as they should.
Any chance Gerry Nichols might put up?
Joe Clark?
Lastly is it too late to send you David Miller?
Is it ever to late for Miller time? =)
When the Budweiser or Coors girls show up?
"that is another one that would have been stopped long before anyone in the public would have ever seen it and without the resulting backlash."
are you suggesting that a political party privately pass their campaign strategies and marketing by bloggers first? Isn't that going to undermine any kind of objectivity of those bloggers? Wouldn't they essentially be consultants to the party then? I can understand you'd want to be a consultant for a party you vigorously support but I think it completely undermines the reliability of the writer as an independent voice.
RaelDajer, look at it as the bloggers being just another focus group (just one that is very familiar with politics and in the trenches so to speak)
It would be a wise thing to do IMHO because if your own supporters find something wrong/offensive or whatever with an ad, you can be damn sure the public and or the opposition certainly will.The puffin being a prime example of something that would have been caught and stopped in it's tracks.
Now that the ads have been yanked it would appear that we have been part of a very large focus group.
This pre-writ era is a good time for experimentation. The ads were good for a few laughs but now we can move on.
Still wondering who made those ads, was it the cpc or Spin Assassin, as per his blog.
Party ads, they had the disclaimer.
The only problem Joanne was that the focus group was too large, by about 33 million people.
Count me in.
