HEADHUNTING BLOGS IN THE POLITICAL RING
Trash printing BLOGS everywhere serve a multiple of Purposes:
1. MISDIRECTION- misdirect others into believing political spin or finger pointing verbage.
2. DISCREDITING- once you have Discredited opponents, it really doesn't make a difference what one's issues or agenda is. For Example if you have information on your opponent about some type of arrest record, domestic violence etc, well then you as there opponent already have the advantage in that race.
3. AIRING OUT DIRTY LAUNDRY- Bedroom politics has been around for decades and has still proven to be deadly epidemics that plague political careers. For example, that Congressman getting caught in a public restroom propositioning an undercover cop is pretty much a political career ender, imagine if he gets a opponent in his next re-election.
Heres my advice to those trying to get by with all these HEADHUNTING BLOGS out there craving political blood.
1. IGNORE THEM- the general public has a limited attention span(not trying be insulting,just real) with so much reaity affecting our daily lives, todays news will be forgotten once we have to hurry up and pay our high electric bills or more for gas, or just making ends meet.
2. POLITICAL SPIN DOCTORS- these guys don't come cheap either, but they are dedicated to doing damage control on a candidates' personal life, public life, or just your everyday headlines.
3. PRINT THE TRUTH- the more you deny, the more the headhunter is compelled to prove there point. The headhunting blogs hide behind anonymity so they are SAVAGELY THIRSTY FOR POLITICAL BLOOD in a STEALTH LIKE MANNER. Thats what they get paid to do. TO CREATE CHAOS OF THE OPPONENT and have there candidate come up smelling like a champ.
4. GO PUBLIC- Headhunting Blogs have one thing in common, they never PUT DOWN THERE CANDIDATE in public, rather its only quite the opposite, they mention all there candidates accolades, charitible doings if any, and honors they've recieved as well as educational background blah blah blah. Associating the headhunting blogs with the candidate not mentioned is usually the dead give away as to who the blog is really serving. But I must warn you that GOING PUBLIC is really expensive, but needed to spread the message of the campaign, and headhunting blogs dare not go into public printed material. Opponents print negative add campaigns about each other and make up phony campaign groups, but they at least always leave a paper trail.
5. HACKERS!! politiqueras of the cyber world are the future. These guys are being recruited and well financed to, well you guessed it, information, chaos, and some more information on everything from the opponent to well good ol airing out dirty laundry online.
HERES the TRUTH ABOUT HEADHUNTING BLOGS: THE HIDE, THEY CONSPIRE, and THEY DON'T COME OUT OF HIDING.
Well hope the aforementioned comes in handy to you the reader regardless of what party or faction you are affiliated with. GOOD LUCK.

I am really disgusted with Eddie Saenz and his headhunting blog E-News. Isn't it illegal for him to be doing this? This is underhanded and disgusting.
Not too sure as to who is affiliated with ENews and well BLOGS are pretty much someone's take on how THEY see things. Sort of like a Diary, but online. Now the things that are posted on any Blog are intended for oneself, but they make it available for the public to see, but some may limit the interactions of others. Clearly, some do go out of bounds and since a great deal of those who post do it Anonymous, well then who's to blame really. Blogs, Paparazis, Smut magazines all share the same idea, if they're trying to make a A DISH OR BIG POT OF SENSE some of those ingredients are as follow:
1. 1/2 Perception
2. 1/2 Deception
and well then YOU ADD AS MUCH SPICE AS YOU'D LIKE TO SERVE IT. And SPICE is what those who are posting ANONYMOUS ADD.
NOW, the million dollar question: Do these BLOGS really work? 1/2 PERCEPTION is based solely on those who read them. And well the other 1/2 is based on the whole FINGER POINTING DECEPTION.
"If you shout a lie loud and long enough, people begin to believe it."
And the aforementioned QUOTE alone is what many try to achieve either it be in newspapers, magazines, blogs or on TV.
MY ADVICE:
The Truth is a luxury we can't Afford.
I really don't understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying that E-News is a bounty blog?
Cause I've been reading it lately.And it has to do with ones voting record.
Since when is this bad? Unless you voted a certain way your dist. doesn't agree with.
And then you come on here and say that Craddick doesn't matter to our dist.
Well E-News even goes and shows you what our st rep said about voting for Craddick and the things we got cause of it.
It seems that you are to focused on E-News. All your postings are about E-News or what they write about.
All your basically doing is copying what they have to say.
You give way to much credit to ones blog. Regardless of how many hits a certain blog gets. Your, your own person. Come up with something different.
I don't know how E-News gets all the news and breaking news. But they have shown that they have a lot of resources.
Good luck
Lots of resources all right, but Mr. 30% can't buy the truth. As one guy said even Veronica voted for Craddick so what. Can Mr. 30% tell us something that he would do to help the people living here other than help his buds to make money off of taxpayers.
7:39 PM,
Ha! good one, I see the Spin Doctors are out.
I am afraid the term "fair and balanced" has been tainted for all time by fixed news. Everytime I hear it it reminds me of spin. I think you are doing a great job, but please find another phrase.
I'm a democrat living here in Edinburg. After reading E-News. I will not vote for a traitor in Aaron Pena.
The guy is a two faced SOB. I'm extremely upset that this guy would even think about voting Republican much less vote Republican.
I have never voted Republican. And I'm not about to start.
I guess there will be no one to vote for because all of your representatives voted for the only candidate running for Speaker. They did so for the past three sessions. What would you do vote against the only candidate running? Just get to it, POWER is what you want. If the people of this town have their say, we will never have people of your kind in office.
Hey, what about the ten of thousands Eddie Saenz gave to national Republicans now under FBI investigation?
dac,
the phrase "fair and balanced" was coined by none other than FOX NEWS. I understand your dissatisfaction as I was at one point. But We here at The Political Ring just want to give the public the TALE of the TAPE as they do in sporting events such as Boxing. They give you the bio on each fighter, they spectate the fight, and prior to that they give you a build up on each fighters background without being bias. That is why we instilled the name RING into our very own name. We will however question authority when we feel the general public either deserves a far better treatment in certain aspects of government services (ie better roads in certain areas)we know all too well how some political figures may get complacement on the job and from time to time need a reminder as to voted for them and how they are to serve us the general public. Consider us a Public Advocate. If not Fair and Balanced, consider us to be Fair in balancing our critique on everything from Politics to our Communities.
6:21 AM,
Point well mentioned, I guess you Vote straight ticket then huh? A Democrat Straight ticket was in the past the norm, but a few here in the valley have made an ever increasing amount of connections with that of the Republican party. But Needless to say, Our very own State of Texas has been predominantly REPUBLICAN for quite some time now. The House, The Senate, Lt Gov.and Gov. have been dominated by the Republicans since Ann Richards lost to our now sitting President. Many have become disilusioned with the whole straight ticket thing here in the valley, so they began to ASSIMILATE to THE REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGY. NOW IS IT RIGHT OR WRONG? Who knows, but one thing I'm certain about, is that THOSE WHO HAVE TEND TO VOTE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE AS WELL. I've never met a poor politican.
Heres My Take on the whole Republican vs Democrat thing: Rich white Anglo Saxon Protestants have an Elite Club of the Ruling Class which is the Presidency. Now, regarldless of party affiliations, what seems to be the constant? Think about that one for a while and you'll realize that party labels don't mean a thing in Washington D.C., they are all Blue Bloods with Massive Wealth. Our State has been a Republican State and will continue to be a Republican state for the next 20 years. Texas just doesn't have too much love for the Democrat style of Govt. Texas HATES government programs, Big Government, and well Illegals period. Now it almost gives me shame in even admitting Im a Texan, but thats the sad truth about our State and things are only going to get worst for the valley and Hispanics with this Wall being contested.
I will 'fess up and state that at one time I was critical of local politicians. I guess I've matured as a blogger and as a person and came to realize that anybody can complain and point out the negatives of others. You only really contribute when you offer solutions. I try to remember that when I write about problems these days.
It is not just about offering solutions, you can contribute by questioning too. The Socratic method of teaching was not to spoon-feed ideas, but to question and make others think about the problem or issue and develope their own solutions. I think there is solid reason to question a situation even if you don't hold "the" solution.
DAC, you're right. I forgot about that. It is fair to ask questions. So, we can ask questions and offer solutions.
However, being overly critical and making stuff up about people clouds the whole exchange of ideas. There is no need by South Texas bloggers to be vicious.
The Political Ring, I would add that successful blogs link to others and have others link to them. You can gauge a blog's success by how many people link to it. When you link to a blog, it gives your credibility to it. So, I recommend giving links only to those sites that you think will only add to your own credibility. Go to technorati.com and search a blog address to see the difference between respected sites and otherwise.
Shaine,
Thanks for the info, will look that up.
dac,
I believe the Socratic Method's precursor was Elenchus.
Socrates would use a series of questions, otherwise known as Elenchus, not to get answers, but simply to confirm his own answers. It was sort of setting up the one being questioned, because Socrates felt people in general are ignorant and ANSWER without reasoning or giving thought to the question. SO IN REALITY SOCRATES WAS TRYING TO PROVE A HYPOTHESIS: THAT PEOPLE ANSWER IGNORANTLY REGARDLESS OF THE QUESTIONS. Today's media does it as well, they administer questions they already know the answer to, its scripted as in the White House Press staff, its all on big Choreographed show of Q & A, reheared and studied.
Since it is the political ring and not the philosophy ring, I don't know if this discussion will interest anyone, so I will try and keep it short.
I somewhat disagree with your analysis of the Socratic Method. I don't agree with those that simply limit the method as a method of proving a point (or that someone is ignorant) rather than proving that one may not have reviewed or pursued the reasoning for position as deeply as it may be reviewed. After all the method is not just for the person being questioned. As with cross-examination, it is meant for the listener also (maybe more so) to see and to analyize what they will determine is truth. The blog is a method for the same purpose many times since it does or should allow comments (like yours does) to respond to either the issue or the questions posed.
I agree that "elenchus", the greek term for cross-examination, is often used to described the logical refutation of a position or the Socratic Method, but I would not call it the precursor. And I would agree that Socrates is likely not the originator to the method, but thanks to Plato, he is given the credit. If by "ignorant" you mean that people often hold positions without thinking them through or reasoning, I would also agree, but the term in the venacular seems to imply the person being questioned is not intelligent.
Unlike the press conference or media questions and answers with limited questions and limited follow-up the methode is not meant for a sound byte.
I think we are one the same page, just different perspectives on the lessons to be gained from the method and how it applies to political philosophy. I think of the method of more of a mental research and developement.
YOU SAID, "proving that one may not have REVIEWED or pursued the REASONING for position as deeply as it may be reviewed"
I SAID, " PEOPLE in general are ignorant and ANSWER WITHOUT reasoning or giving THOUGHT to the question."
Well the point you make is interesting and has facts to support it and you're right not much of a philosophy buff either. But lets try to examine something here about being INTELLIGENT.
Are we really INTELLIGENT or do we simply go off the logic and quotes of others whom at one point in history did the learning. For Example, today many quote and rip off the works of Shakespeare, now I understand they do so in the entertainment world because they dont have to pay the dead shakespeare royalties, but in other fields as well. In the medical world, literature, and math, today's so called geniuses go off a method or formula created years ago. PRECEDENT LAW, LITERATURE, QUOTES, DISCOVERIES etc still shape society today. Socrates' methods would have never been illustrated, until Pluto put the ol pen to paper and INTERPRETED what SOCRATES once taught. NOW whos to say that Pluto did not put in his own spin on how he perceived SOCRATES' teachings to be. But you're right, maybe Socrates wasn't the one who started such methods. I will admit the whole Philosophy thing seems a bit outdated, Socrates, Descartes, Freud, or Nitzche seem to have trouble trying to adapt to today's society. But I will leave you with a phrase that still makes some type of sense today as it did back then, "I am inconsistant because we live in an inconsistant world." NITCHZE
