<p>In the interests of political fairness, here is a trailer for a documentary coming out in mid-October that takes aim at President Barack Obama&#8217;s economic policies.</p>
<p>Titled &#8220;I Want Your Money,&#8221; the controversial trailer has already gotten over 1.76 million views on YouTube. (Take <em>that</em>, Michael Moore!)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the description of the film:</p>
<p>&#8220;Set against the backdrop of America&#8217;s growing disproval of current economic policies, I WANT YOUR MONEY takes a provocative look at our nation&#8217;s deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama. The film exposes the shocking reality of a bloated government while offering alternatives to help steer the United States back towards firm fiscal ground.&#8221;</p>
<p>The right-leaning movie&#8211;which uses decidedly odd cartoons of Obama and Reagan&#8211;features the usual conservative suspects on the topic, such as Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Steve Forbes. And it makes Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi look nuts.</p>
<p>In other words, a Tea Party party!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the trailer:</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost-First Daughter Meghan McCain gave the Republican Party the analog equivalent of an unhappy emoticon yesterday in a column in The Daily Beast, predicting the political party will lose power quicker than a faulty iPhone if it does not get more Web-savvy pronto.

BoomTown always liked GOP Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's sassy spawn, who had a pretty good blog during the campaign and was always coming out with some little nugget that I am sure made her PR handlers cringe.

Well, there she goes again!]]></description>

<p>Almost-First Daughter Meghan McCain (pictured here) gave the Republican Party the analog equivalent of an unhappy emoticon :( yesterday in a column in The Daily Beast, predicting the political party will lose power quicker than a faulty iPhone if it does not get more Web-savvy pronto.</p>
<p>BoomTown always liked GOP Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain&#8217;s sassy spawn, who had a pretty good blog&#8211;deliciously called <a href="http://mccainblogette.com/">McCain Blogette.com</a>: Musings on Politics From a Pop CultureGirl&#8211;during the campaign and was always coming out with some little nugget that I am sure made her PR handlers cringe.</p>
<p>Well, there she goes again!</p>
<p>In a post titled, <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-02-19/republicans-suck-at-the-internet/">&#8220;Why Republicans Don&#8217;t Get the Internet,&#8221;</a> Meghan McCain noted flatly:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Republican party isn&#8217;t exactly Internet savvy. That&#8217;s no secret&#8230;This has been a source of personal frustration for me for a very long time. Unless the GOP evolves as the party that can successfully utilize the Web, we&#8217;ll continue to lose influence.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Thankfully, it gets worse!</p>
<p>Writes Meghan:</p>
<blockquote><p>I know this aggravates the old school political operatives to no end, but it&#8217;s true. The Obama administration understands that my generation spends most of its day on a laptop or a BlackBerry, and that using the web is easy way to communicate their ideas to their constituents. Making a website, Facebook group, or YouTube video entertaining and enticing is where grassroots campaigning begins. President Obama currently has around five-and-a-half million supporters on Facebook; my father has around five-hundred thousand.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sorry, Dad!</p>
<p>But apparently not all that much, because she ended her piece with a zinger about the GOP&#8217;s new Web effort, the <a href="http://www.rebuildtheparty.com/">Rebuild the Party</a> site, essentially declaring the party a wizened Luddite with no hopes of ever beating the BlackBerry-loving Obama.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;The website is about as provocative as a blue suit, white shirt, and red tie. At the time that I write this, the video on the homepage features various individuals, most of them I would guess between the ages of fifty and sixty, explaining why they consider themselves Republicans. Had I still been an independent, there is nothing about this website or video that would sway me as a twenty-four year old woman to join the GOP&#8230;Until the Republican party joins the twenty-first century and learns how to use the Internet, its members will keep getting older and the youth of America will just keep logging on to the other side.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Meghan McCain is definitely right about the unusually sleepy video&#8211;which only pops when they focus on dead Republican former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Teddy Roosevelt:</p>
