First, infiltrate the site. For this, you will have to avoid creating screen names like “GoPalinGo” or “Heartlandredstater.” Also, some websites may actually have you wait a week before you are allowed to comment or blog. Perhaps, they are investigating the e-mail address you give them against whether it is used for a conservative website. Be sure to avoid that tendency; if you use, for example, aol.com screen name for RedState, make sure you use a yahoo e-mail address for Dailykos, or whatever. Once you are there, the second part of the strategy is to gain their trust. For this, you cannot be too overtly gung-ho conservative in your outlook. Instead, you sort of have to be the voice of a moderate liberal. This will take a lot of acting skill, but it could be done. For example, over at ThinkProgress, they had an article about how the folks in Alabama got what they deserved with the recent spate of tornadoes because their legislators did not believe in global warming. It took all my energies not to reach through the Internet and strangle these kooks, but I responded, “Well, that might be going a little too far…” Along the way, I gained the trust of certain posters on that thread.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rmuse, the fiscal year 2009 budget was signed by Barack Obama on March 12, 2009. This covered spending for the period October 2008 – September 2009. Also, to say that Bush had “set in stone” the 2009 budget is nonsensical. The budget doesn’t set anything in stone, when it lacks a budget for direction, Congress still has the power to spend money and keep the government operating. That is how the government has been running the last few years without a budget. But again, Obama signed the budget in question so using inauguration day as a starting point really is not all that improper. Also, this whole starting point business is not even the main criticism of that graph to begin with. Did you read the links I sent you? What’s your response to the other criticisms?]]></description>
