Hi Bhanwarlal,

It’s actually really easy to get a blog these days! I pay a small fee each year to a hosting company, but there are a number of free sites that can host a blog for you. I’d just google “free blog hosting” and that should give you a really good start.

As to how to get popoular, just keep posting! Don’t get discouraged if someone else’s blog is more popular than yours even if you know in your heart that yours is better. That’s just going to happen, and whether it bums you out or not, you’re definitely not going to overtake your inferiors’ traffic by being resentful. Posting frequently is key! Also commenting on other people’s blogs can help drive traffic back to yours.

Now I too don’t want to sound mean, but you tossed around insults like “…an issue you know nothing about…” without actually offering any specifics or an opportunity to engage, which is kind of intellectually lazy. So actually, I think you did want to sound mean but just didn’t want to admit it!

Feel free to start talking about what specifically I don’t know anything about, either in the comments here or at your brand new blog (go for it!) and we can chat.

How is it that just anybody can psubilh a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything extremely impressive more like youve painted a quite picture about an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some quite pictures and not really say anything?

Tell that to John Edwards. What differentiates the parties is to be a GOP adulterer you have to be a hypocrite about it.

re: JFK and the GOP…the one issue where he would side with the GOP is the accepted practice of cheating on your wife…ba-CHING!

If Kennedy were alive, he certainly wouldn’t have been aligned with Teddy. JFK was a supporter of gun rights, supply side economics (the way it’s SUPPOSED to be practiced, cutting both taxes AND spending), and he was strong on the military. I don’t know what Terry means by “mainstream republican” as the GOP lost it’s way some time ago, but I’d say that Kennedy would be more likely to side with the Republicans than the Democrats.

Terry did vote for HR3631 on Sept. 24 (406 to 18) to adjust Medicare payments. Whatever happened with that bill, I don’t know. The fact is (as I’m sure you are well aware of after listening to the call) most people who talk to Terry don’t know all of the facts. Lots of them don’t know any of the facts!
