NRSC Sets Lofty Facebook Goal, Will Not Accept Fractions

We all know that the Republicans control Twitter, but it looks like they’re working on Facebook now. It would be astonishing, though, if the failed committee responsible for losing more than a dozen Senate seats in the last two elections were to get 2 “supporters” on Facebook.

    Mark Foley’s been lonely recently.

  2. grevillea says at 4:24 pm, February 25th, 2009

    Especially if they are threatening to break them.

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 4:26 pm, February 25th, 2009

    What do those decimal places represent? Underaged kids?

  4. Can somebody be enemied on Facebook?

  5. You know who else uses periods instead of commas in their digit groupings? Europeans! Especially the gay-marrying socialist kind.

  6. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:27 pm, February 25th, 2009

    Roland Burris is currently more popular than the Republican party.

    SayItWithWookies: Only because Myspace banned him in their last sweep.

  8. CollegeStudent says at 4:31 pm, February 25th, 2009

    hehe, they have a tiny url

  9. Steele is really transforming the party.

    I think they will have more luck on littlechoirboys.com

  10. The GOP should stick to their Craig List personals.

    You can tell they really ‘get it,’ with that avatar that they printed out from a word document, scanned, saved as a PNG at too low a resolution, then stretched out and saved as a low-quality JPG.

    Does no one realized Obama won the election with 5% personality and 95% having the only decent graphic design in presidential election history?

    Steele already joined, but unfortunately he contributes only 0.6 (three-fifths) to the total using Republican ethnocalculations.

  13. NegativeZero says at 4:42 pm, February 25th, 2009

    One armed midgets only count as 1/2 a person.

  14. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:42 pm, February 25th, 2009

    norbizness: Funneee….

  15. Mr Blifil says at 4:42 pm, February 25th, 2009

    Don’t look now GOP but the writing is on The Wall.

    have you guys looked at the #tcot stuff? it stands for “top conservatives on twitter” and it is a veritable minefield of brilliance. http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23tcot

  18. twingonaut says at 4:47 pm, February 25th, 2009

    The Neoskeptic: My Q is how does one become a #tcot? I mean other than simply putting a #tcot in one’s tweet.

    Breaking supporters at those numbers? They have definitely been working hard to do that. Color me impressed.

  19. Neon Trotsky says at 4:51 pm, February 25th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Decimal points are for European elitists! Go back to France with your metric system and what-not, Republicans!

  20. HopeyDope says at 4:57 pm, February 25th, 2009

    I think they need to stick with the Twitter. Those tiny bits of yammering are truly the limit of their followers’ attention spans. Facebook has way too much to pay attention to.

  21. snideinplainsight says at 5:07 pm, February 25th, 2009

    It’s a good thing the have a “Translate to English” button on that #tcot page.

  22. snideinplainsight says at 5:10 pm, February 25th, 2009

    ” stix1972: RT @RyanJGill: RT @BATCOTJindal makes a comeback!! http://bit.ly/AOmrq (expand) #tcot #sgp ” That’s what I always say.

  23. CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us says at 6:02 pm, February 25th, 2009

    Well in all honesty I am probably 0.023 percent republican. So maybe that’s why they allow fractions.

  24. Tommmcatt says at 6:13 pm, February 25th, 2009

    illnoise:

    Win win win win win.

  25. qwerty42 says at 6:33 pm, February 25th, 2009

    twingonaut: become concerned about the Fairness Doctrine and how it is a librul plot.

  26. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:57 pm, February 25th, 2009

    Surely there are more than 2 child molesters on Facebook?

    illnoise: Does no one realized Obama won the election with 5% personality and 95% having the only decent graphic design in presidential election history?

    Beg to differ, Nixon had some pretty sweet graphic design too.

  29. keepinitrealyo says at 7:41 pm, February 25th, 2009

    I think I’ll sign up, just so I can concern-troll on their wall: “Bobby Jindal?! Really? Are you sure?”

  30. Guppy06: How the socialist-European-France-loving Republicans have fallen!

  31. Maybe they could get ACORN to sign up some supporters.
