I agree. Michael Steele was the only AA republican that stayed loyal to his party in 2008. The others caved to the bipartisan drama of an AA becoming president.

Michael seems to understand many of the aspects that got not only Obama elected but the democratic take over of congress in 2006 and 2008. He realizes that Nancy Pelosi and the democratic congressional campaign raised all that money that got those democrats elected. But if he is to be successful, Michael will need to understand a lot more about that fundraising.

Pelosi used a company in her district that would hone its skills to later raise the nearly $700 million for the BO campaign. These fundraising techiques were first successfully used by Howard Dean, using a different but similar company in his failed 2004 run for POTUS.

The republicans will never be able to compete with that first-of-its-kind fundraising until they understand this is not fundraising as either party has ever known it. It is not just from their party fat cats or millions of volunteers giving small $5 contributions, although this is what the democrats would have us continue to believe.

No hard feelings, KM. It’s a pleasure just to have a polite exchange. That doesn’t happen much here, and it’s not unique to NQ. As you say, text messaging doesn’t have the visual and auditory cues that help make face-to-face communication clear.

Enough of your melodrama.

You keep proving you can’t get enough of me.

You wish you knew how to quit me, you little stalker.

That’s entirely individual — it depends on the person’s comments. Most often, it has to do with the first problem I discussed. Regardless, the note is polite and we always first ask for cooperation.

Everyone had a piece to say, we cannot see or hear the intent, all we have are the written words. I got the impression you were upset, I think this is the problem, perception, and agreement or lack thereof.

You didn’t understand what I said. And Ferd was Ferd.

And you are a troll. You have worked yourself up into a foamy lather over a tempest in a teapot. You’re frothing at the mouth over a mountain that is a mere molehill.

Bah. Enough of your melodrama.

It’s weird how you chase after me just to tell me to go away. If it bothers you to read my posts, don’t click on them. What a concept!

I’m not upset. Susan was Susan. I said my piece. Truthtelling chimed in with something constructive. You didn’t understand what I said. And Ferd was Ferd.

No, I am not an administrator, and honestly don’t understand your upset.

I have no problem with Susan, dingaling.

Your comments are bereft of any relevancy, Goober. If molehills were mountains, you might be onto something. They aren’t and you aren’t.

I like this website and will continue to come here. It is you who appears to be having a hissy-fit over nothing. Go away and stay away.

Which part of “it is their website” do you fail utterly to understand?

Move on, dud–there is nothing to see here.

What are you–the blog protocol police?

No. Susan is saying that’s her role. Pay attention.

Dear Ferd,

A) Susan invited the entire online world to discuss this particular topic. If you have a problem with me accepting that invitation, you should take it up with Susan.

B) It should have been pretty clear by now in this thread that Susan is the one trying to assert control on this issue and I’m the one objecting to it. Now that I’ve stated it explicitly, do you see it?

C) And as for telling me to leave, as you so often do instead of saying anything interesting, well…after you, my friend. After you.

We’re talking about a serious tempest in a teapot, here WTF. I guess that molehill looms like a mountain for someone of as little consequence as you.

LMAO

I get your gist. However, the regulars here are rarely admonished or banned unless they get really out of hand. I have yet to be banned or lectured even though I do get a bit ~~testy~~ nasty, at times.
