To Be Politically Vocal

Politics have always been our dinner discussion. I believe it is the same for most family, even if we do not have politicians as family members. I grew up listening to all these discussions and I can differentiate what is real and what is political talk to butter up to the people to fish for votes. One has to read between the lines and not be sold towards everything that the newspaper publishes.

Now with the internet and more importantly, a Web 2.0 portal like Rebutter.com,
Politics will never be the same.

The general public will be all the more aware of political propaganda. Rebutter.com allows its users to rebut any political statement, press release or campaign talk by any politician. It doesn't matter which way you swing, you have the chance you voice out and be heard.

Your opinion will be open for public votes and the wittier your rebuttal is, the more people will read and if the majority of the public agrees to your comment, they will vote for you, just like digg.com.

The three rebuttals with the highest votes will be featured alongside the political statement that is being rebutted and people will be able to compare and discern the real scenario.

I love this idea as it allows people to be politically vocal, at last!
