Bulk email marketing

The books get terrible critical reviews, are filled with hateful rhetoric and, lets face it, fans of Hannity, Coulter, Laura Ingraham, O’Reilly **** Morris, etc. are more likely to watch NASCAR than read a book. How do they sell so many? Do a few rich people buy them in bulk and then dump them?

Could it be because Newsmax buys them in bulk and gives them away:

Can’t “Conservatives” let the market decide if their books are worthy or not?

Right now Glenn Becks ‘Common Sense’ is top seller in non-fiction paperback and the cross symbol indicates his books were bought in bulk orders http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/18/books/bestseller/bestpapernonfiction.html?ref=books

‘Arguing With Idiots’ is also at top sellers list in non-fiction hardcover and yet again a little cross symbol indicates there was bulk ordering. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/18/books/bestseller/besthardnonfiction.html?ref=books
Bulk orders indicate Conservative book clubs and other groups are trying to keep crappy Conservative books in the top sellers list since it’s good advertisement and makes the population believe that their books have intellectual merit. It’s all about manipulation and perception to these “Conservatives”.

I am an American and I feel more patriotism towards Canada than the USA. I am not Canadian-born and all my family lives in the United States. The reasons I like Canada are as follows:

1) In Canada, your wealth status does not determine whether or not you receive medical care.

2) In Canada, there is no tax prison for those who evade their taxes! Ohhh, how many people knew that.

3) In Canada, different cultures are not pressured by society to assimilate into one, rather they form mosaics. This is not the same as a Melting Pot, where cultures are welcomed in only to assimilate.

4) In Canada the due process system is less harsh and unusual as the death penalty has been abolished decades ago.

5) Canada has less of a gap between the wealthiest and poorest individuals. (the median income income is higher than in the USA eventhough the MEAN income is lower, meaning a higher percentage of people have the bulk of the wealth share.

6) Canada has more than 2 political parties, allowing for more representation, more debatable topics discussed in passing legislation.

7) Canadian media, which influences Canadian culture….as US media influences US culture….is much broader a focus on worldly issues than CNN or Fox News. (such as the efforts of people in the nation of Bhutan to protect their land from flood).
Canada has lower levels of crime, more open space, safer communities, more strive to better society for the average person in a community…more anecdotal stories

9) Canada really protects its people, let me say. They put their people first before illegal immigrants, they defend their trades and subsidize their softwood lumber, promote their fisheries.

10) Canada is a very peaceful nation which thinks consciously before engaging in military conflict overseas unless there is a danger to their own people and their allied in NATO.

I’ve come to really like Canadians and I feel at home when I travel there, where as in the USA everything is very much like a rat race. Each individual not trust any other individual, relying on banks for credit and marketing retailers like Walmart instead of working together.

I feel a greater state of happiness and warmth north of the border, even with less after-tax wealth. It is investing in a society vs. living in your own shell in America guarding your personal car and house.
I honor the legacy of a USA patriot I greatly admire named Benedict Arnold. He was not afraid to follow his conscience to Britain and he settled for a while on what is now Canada.

Big name corporations have always had paid lobbyists fingering Congress
but I’ve noticed something new. With Obama in office, these same corporation, you know the usually suspects, big insurance, Pfizer, Novartis, some of the big banks and fastfood…etc.
are really getting into the public relations, i’ve seen astroturf campaigns disguised as true grass roots, big expensive web sites full of sheep $h–
mass mailers to registered Republicans, (I know cause my husband and most of my family are Republicans) shipping old folks to out-of-state teabaggers conventions, even paying people to be there. And the list is getting longer, so my question is,

When will the vast majority of conservatives realize these “tea parties,” “grass roots ads” are all just big production peices put on by billion dollar corporations?

I am a business owner and I know for a fact small business and corporations pay the bulk of health care and charge the employee a small percentage. So why would the average free market individual support status quo, when the bill comes to their employer for this service.

Are all the conservatives ok with the lobbyists position? The lobbyists say keep what we have and don’t rock the boat.

Deep down they know the Dems have the masses against them, right? Isn’t that what all this “voter ID” business is all about? Or voter caging, where GOP officials try to get voters striken from the rolls by sending out mailers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_caging
If you only want live qualified voters to vote, why do Republicans employ voter caging techniques?

Yes, this book was pre-bought in bulk by conservative organization. That is why it bears the “dart” after the title on the NY Times best seller list.

NASA is ranked as having been one of the greatest national investments of all time. All the research and implementation done on a mission basis as opposed to a near term profit margins and finite resources business model served as a coup for the private sector after the fact.
Can it be said then while the private sector may be more efficient and development and marketing, it is the public sector that is more efficient at research and implementation?
We simply would never have gotten so many technologies that would later have been developed and marketed to consumers as consumer products from the private sector alone in that amount of time.
Oh, and the bulk of medical research is publicly funded where the research is mission based. Drug companies only cull through the work already done for ideas on consumer products.
Thoughts?
Not: You are correct; however it was their money. The funding was still mission based.

Like everything else, won’t conservatives’ beloved “free market” take care of this?

We’ll be further bombarbed with drugs for erectile dysfunction, depression, weight loss, and thicker eyelashes, while people in the Third World die of malaria because it’s not profitable enough to research malaria medications for a poor market.

Aren’t taxpayer subsidies the bulk of what keeps this country on the “cutting edge” in research?
