If I use "ALEC" I can Get More Hits



Well....
evidently the broo-haha around ALEC has become mainstream enough that people think they can throw "ALEC" in the title for more exposure - more hits to their webpage.

Take this for example - published on 7/27
ALEC Distracts Electorate From Economy, Jobs; Is It Too Late?
ALEC Distracts Electorate From Economy, Jobs
ALEC Distracts Electorate 
Really?
REALLY?

Hmmm - tell me more.

After reading the whole article - FOUR page in Word single spaced - here's all he has to say about ALEC.

Even the most clueless Americans are beginning to look up from their smartphones and tablets and see the severe ideological crevasse that distinguishes progressives from conservatives, whether it’s on economics, morality, patriotism, or whatever the ALEC-controlled red-state legislatures can use to keep women, blacks and Hispanics in survival mode through either abortion or immigration standoffs.

When even USA Today goes for Keynesian dogma instead of going Galt, the Right is clearly losing the argument about the economy. Conservative Republicans have enough power in Congress to block most of the progressive agenda. But they do not have a plausible alternative to the progressive vision of the past, present and future of the U.S. economy that President Obama has set forth. Hence their multitude of ALEC-driven socio-moralistic agendas being driven in red state after redstate, if for no other reason, than to keep the semi-comatose poor white base in control of the House Republican caucus while Speaker Boehner spends his days and nights swimming in his Smirnoff-induced stupors.

That kind of disparity, one would assume, would be a major component of Democratic strategies to use to offset ALEC and the Koch Bros. propaganda agendas of austerity and union-busting. Unfortunately, the Democrats, as usual, are playing defense and losing ground at the state level.

If they don’t start now, in countering those ALEC-driven strategies by beating the GOP at their own game by getting the adversely-affected minorities the proper IDs and the proper motivation and methods to get to the polls, the GOP will have won the war from the inside out by winning the popular vote, state after state, but continuing to lose House Seats until the house of cards built by ALEC and the Koch brothers crumbles into the next Great Depression.



What?

So ignoring ALEC is an option?
NOT
