It's hilarious. The sad part is these boozos actually believe their own stupid conspiracy theories without even looking at the logical contradictions; she can't do anything right but she's so competent she can pull this off. Doesn't that sound exactly like their mad ravings about Obama?
What are "boozos"?
Heavy drinkers?
Looks like someone needs to lay off those left-handed cigarettes......
Oh good grief--they're doing micro targeting. Marketers do it all the time, and the Obama campaign was simply smart enough to incorporate it into their fundraising and campaign work. The Romney camp did it too, but in a much less sophisticated way. They aren't gathering "secret" information on you, or at least not any more than most major retailers do.
They combine the information gleaned from repeated contact from local volunteers, past voting history and party registration (public record) and email contact, including contests to do things like win a dinner with Beyonce or the President that requires a long questionnaire to enter--lots of different sources. It all goes into a data base where they can contact voters based on their specific interests and demographic information. In the past it all used to be fragmented--what the Obama campaign did well was to incorporate all the information that a campaign usually gathers into one place so they can use to more effectively get out the vote and raise money. If you're not a democrat and there's no chance that you'll ever vote for one, I promise you--they're not collecting data on you. It would be a waste of time. The purpose is to raise money--lots of money--by appealing to each voters specific interests in fundraising efforts, and to get Obama voters to the polls.
That's what Maxine Waters was talking about--that he's has the volunteer base and marketing info to very tightly target voters and get out the vote. He's done something no candidate has done before. I've read a bit about it, and as a professional marketer, I can tell you--it's pretty slick.

I mean really?
And even if he was capable if doing that, you really think you can take such a man down?
So why does the Secret Service allow President Obama to be paranoid?
Because they're paid to do that. If someone wants to pay me to listen to you and the others testify day-after-day about all the people out to get you, I wouldn't turn it down.
The only one in politics crazier than Maxine Waters is, well never mind. Nobody is crazier than Maxine.
Oh crud. That's probably in the database now.
