Micheal Steele Speaks in Maryland

Michael Steele the Republican National chairmen is speaking in Maryland. Mr. Steele has commenting on the errors performed by the Obama administration over the first 100 days and laying out a strategy to revive the Republican party.

One thing Michael Steele is talking about is attacking the left with logic instead of bringing up stupid issues such as Nancy Pelosi’s remarks about the CIA. This is good advice and many people should take heed of this advice. The truth is I like some of the stuff President Obama is doing, but the price for most of his policies are too expensive and do not help enough people in the process.

In fact most of the people who are helped by these stimulus packages are not the middle class, they are not the poor, they are the fat cats on Wall Street and in the Automobile industry. The vast majority of the promises he has made he has no plan on implementing. For example he promised the elimination of the penalty for people who have lost their job to take money out of their retirement plans and 401Ks to help them through their crisis. This never happened and now he does not mention it any more.

The one thing Mr. Steele spoke about was the biases of the Media towards Obama, where the vast majority of the media totally supports Obama and will not report on instances such as campaign promises he made but will not keep. So most people do not know.

Now one thing I’m concerned about with the media is on the Internet. Most Republicans have not really embraced the power of the Internet for getting out a message. The left does understand this and its one of the reasons for the defeat the Republican’s experienced in the last election. The left has huge blogs. The Huffington Post is one of the most trafficked blogs in the World and no one can deny its not totally dedicated to promoting the left’s policies. Then you have the Daily Kos, which spews trash to its millions of subscribers.

On the right you have Fox News and Townhall.com, but most people think they have a natural bias to the left so they don’t listen to the arguments. And the truth is all both organizations do is to attack people and not really offer any decent ideas for methods to combat and solve the problems facing our country.

Then you have the countless blogs such as this one MyTownTalks.com which try to put forth decent conservative ideas and change minds, but we don’t have the reach as these bigger liberal blogs do. If Michael Steele really wanted to change the media, then he would push some resources to these smaller blogs who will never support Barak Obama for re-election. Blogs such as MyTownTalks and NoQuarterUSA. Both of these sites have the potential to take on the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos, if they just had some help. I’m not talking about money to expand although that would help, but I’m talking about help in the search engines and with new content. If links could be provided from major sources such as the RNC websites, Fox News, etc.. then we would have more authority and it would make the process of beating the large left sites for Search Engine placement would be possible. If we where provided unique content which we could re-publish then that would help with the amount of material available with the searches.

These things cost money which sites like mine do not have. I won’t speak for NoQuarterUSA, since I’m not sure of their specifics, but I will speak to this website. I write this site almost entirely by myself. I have recently been displaced from my job and at this time i don’t really have any prospects for a new one. I’ve decided I want to dedicate my time to building this site to a level that it can compete with sites such as the Huffington Post. I have built this site to a level that is rarely done by a single person. People want to hear what I have to say. I average over 20,000 page views every day. I’ve done this all by myself, but I doubt I can increase that to a level which will compete with those larger sites without help. Also considering that this site is my only source of income at the moment then I must ensure that it continues to earn a living for my family.

Regardless of my personal items, my point is if the RNC wants to compete with the Democrats in two years and when the next presidential election comes around then they have got to ensure they promote their message on the web. It takes time to build a prescience on the Internet and they need to start now by helping sites which will help them and by increasing the amount of reach which can be extended through the Internet. I can guarantee the Democrats are working towards this and if the RNC does not have decent placement then they will not be able to get their message to the masses. Its already been proven that the mainstream media is not going to accurately portray the conservative message.
