User generated content run amok: House Republican 'suggestions voting site' is overrun by crazies

So the House Republicans are turning to the web for ideas, recently launching http://www.americaspeakingout.com/ -- asking Republicans on the web to submit and vote. The result is not what they probably wanted.

"End Child Labor Laws," suggests one helpful participant. "We coddle children too much. They need to spend their youth in the factories."

"How about if Congress actually do thier job and VET or Usurper in Chief, Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen in any way," recommends another. "That fake so called birth certificate is useless."

"A 'teacher' told my child in class that dolphins were mammals and not fish!" a third complains. "And the same thing about whales! We need TRADITIONAL VALUES in all areas of education. If it swims in the water, it is a FISH. Period! End of Story."

House Republicans, meet the World Wide Web.

Wow guys, who OK'ed this website? Because seriously you can't get away with running a site like this without some serious moderation capabilities in place.

Check out this hilarious page on job creation -- some include:

  • Deport my dog. His English is terrible.
  • Americans need equal access to unicorns and rainbows to overcome barriers in the pursuit of sparkly happiness. Traditionally, unicorns have been too rare to truly impact the world and rainbows are too tied to occurrences in nature.

I agree. Unicorns FTW!
