Social Media gets the news out! And the Dems get a black eye

What exactly is Speaker Pelosi afraid of?  Everyone knows she’s a complete failure.  What is left to hide?

—————–

Does social media have a valid role in politics?

After today’s events, I believe that question has been answered. 

With the Democrats voting to adjourn the House without voting on an energy bill, the Republicans stayed on the floor until Capitol Police began escorting them out.

How did social media play a part?  Pelosi had shut down all the cameras in the house including those on CSPAN.  John Culberson (R-TX) began streaming video through QIK from his phone.  (See:  http://qik.com/video/147408)

Then others joined in.  The search tag #dontgo was started and Twitter Search (http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23dontgo) and numerous people started reporting from inside and out the House.

I am not sure how many “Tweets” were sent out but I would guess in the THOUSANDS.

This entire event was captured and cataloged through Social Networking and Social Media outlets by the people directly involved in the action.

It should be clear to everyone that social media is a valuable tool.

But equally clear to everyone, should be the priorities of the Democrats.  Pelosi wanted to go on vacation and promote her book more than she wanted to do the work the people put her in Washington to do.  Her priorities are clearly skewed and clearly self promoting.

That’s just plain infuriating.  The worst Speaker in this history of this country.  Absolutely the worst.
