In another presentation, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota introduced senators to the meaning of "blogging," explaining the basics of self-published online political commentary and arguing that it can affect public opinion.
let's look at this comment a little more thoroughly shall we? John Thune beat Daschle in SD through the abuse and misuse of webbased media. In essence Thune was teaching other republicans how to lie, deceipt, character assassinate, demean, slander, and disparage not only other candidates but the electorate as well. Thus Thune's "introduction" was a how to further erode the sensibilities of those for whom they serve by insuring that they will knowingly support someone who is lying to them. Then they are free to be as corrupt and as evil as they choose to be without any further possible consequences. Neat little plan really.
