Republicans Relaunch Website

October 13. 2009

Does Rush Limbaugh know there's a black lady on the website! (LOL)

The Republican Party relaunched its website today (www.gop.com). The conservative party is also known as the GOP (pronounced "GOP" as in the word "Lop" - just kidding, don't say that or you'll look stupid. GOP is an acronym for the words the "Grand Old Party").

Their website launch went about as smoothly as that of the unveiling of Michael Jackson's new single, "This Is It." But at least we know the GOP actually owns the item it launched (disdainfully looks at Sony).

However, something went wrong, rendering software bugs and glitches, that caused the page to display incorrectly. Let's hope it wasn't sabotaged by a hacker, as it is not the norm for such an expensive site, worked on by several techs, to perform in that manner.

New Republican Party 2.0 website unveiled

WASHINGTON — The Republican Party launched a redesigned website Tuesday with a heavy emphasis on the social media tools that Democrat Barack Obama used so effectively to win the last presidential election.

Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said GOP.com, which stands for "Grand Old Party," the party's nickname, will "help Republicans compete in any race, in any state, at any time."

Obama relied heavily on the Internet during his presidential campaign for organizing, fundraising and communicating and has created MySpace, Facebook and Flickr pages and a Twitter feed since entering the White House.

The revamped GOP.com prominently features links on its home page to the Republican National Committee page on Facebook, its Twitter feed, its YouTube channel and its Flickr photo-sharing site.

"It takes advantage of various online tools to connect Republicans and concerned Americans across the country to each other and party leaders, creating a larger, more informed, more organized, and more energized Republican community," Steele said.

GOP.com also features a number of blogs including a main blog titled "Sound Reasoning."

A section on "Republican Heroes" provides brief biographies of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play Major League baseball, former presidents Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower and Abraham Lincoln and others...
