Those sad fools heading the GOP keep making attempts to "listen to real Americans" by putting up little 'ol websites & inviting comments. This is because they feel compelled to keep up the populist front, so that all of the Angry Whites and Bitters* can continue to fixate on the mean gubmint and not notice the thorough reaming they are getting by corporations.
Unfortunately, teh Interwebs appears to be populated mainly by vicious and apparently unemployed liberals who immediately swarm to any such site and start proposing things involving Truck Nutz. Then they all laugh at each other's jokes, just like the cool kids used to do when they were in the hallway smoking pot, while some people were just trying to have a prayer session before school starts, okay? Then the other people who comment are people the Republicans really don't want to be publicly associated with, who have numerous suggestions about the proper weaponry for the Upcoming Race Wars. Basically, the Republicans should just give up on the whole open-forum website idea and own up the fact that they really don't care what a bunch of hicks from the swamps think anyway. Of course they won't do this, but it would be good to see: a swanky website that requires you to donate $10,000 to the RNC before you can even enter, and then cigar smoke wafts gently out of your computer and your disk drive begins to dispense Talisker and you start to chuckle quietly about how well the whole dismantling-the-education-system 30-year plan turned out.
But as Wonkette notes, there are, in fact, some Real Americans who do get a word in edgewise, and they sound both reasonable, and sad.
*Sounds like a fun new cocktail, but is not.
