Hey Henke, where's the content?
This blog was founded to showcase Republican ideas. Turns out there aren't any that help Republicans, at least not here. The founders rarely post, and they haven't recruited any Republican idea men or women to fill the vacuum.
The founders seem to have had dailykos as a model. That's the liberal site that is open to anyone to start their personal blogs. There are now hundreds arguing over all aspects of the liberal agenda. It is open to anyone -- conservative or liberal.
What a different place this place is. Fact based liberals are driving out outrage based conservatives. It turns out that conservative ideas don't hold up very well in open blogs. That's why RedState thrives -- liberals are quickly identified and blocked.
Dear Jon Henke and Pattrick Ruffini: if you want to showcase Republican ideas, you should come up with regular content. Try to make a post maybe once a day between you. Given that you bopth are professional political operatives surrounded by political talk and information, this should not be a burden. Otherwise, this blog will become largely liberal. Do you really want to prove yet again that Republicans can't compete in the marketplace of ideas? Do you want to join the Sarah Palin wing of the party where reporters are banned from reporting what was said?

Spam's the "content." As they've sowed, so have they reaped.
I'm a fact-based libertarian, and that's the worst part of NextRight for me, and why I don't come by more often. I'm driven off by "links of london." Kos doesn't put up with that crap. Giving a few trusted users limited admin power to ban, or at least suspend, spammers would do NextRight a world of good, but (as with many aspects of the Republican party) they don't take suggestions from libertarians when the suggestion involves the "leadership" giving up even one iota of centralized control. The result, as we've seen, hasn't been pretty...
