13. Correctomundo

Its good practice. All politicians and businesses do this today.

[NMDemDist2]

2. are they live sites, or has the RNC just bought up the names so no

one else can use them?

[Sydnie]

3. did they think of

rnc titles like that too? :rofl:

rncsux sounds good to me!

[BlooInBloo]

4. Squatting to prevent genuine critics from getting them?

I'd expect Clinton, Obama, etc. to do the same.

[NoodleBoy]

6. maybe they're just doing it to hide a deep, dark secret

does the leader of the free world physically bite, blow, and suck?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. I think they've been there since the 2000 election

They wanted to control the names before anti-Bush groups set up websites.

[C_U_L8R]

8. yeah but bushblowschunks.com might still be available

[live love laugh]

14. How about bushreeks.com or bushblowshard.com? I think they're available. n/t

:rofl:

[rurallib]

16. shitferbrains.com available?

[Ignacio Upton]

9. Well

They didn't get georgewbush.org or gwbush.com. In fact, Bush even sued to shut down gwbush.com saying "there ought to be limits to freedom."

11. Oh there is so much weird shit going on now that we've started looking into it...

I'm so surprised they'd leave behind these tracks. This is minor, however.

[whistle]

12. how about www.shrubsucks.com

[L. Coyote]

15. VERY COMMON practice. Guess who owns mcjobs.com???? n/t
