Jefferson Democrat Site Tanks

Danger Jefferson Democrat's better days are well behind them. The website Jefferson Democrat, formerly known as Danger Democrat, was hijacked by Sean Hennessey and company and since then it has lost it's edge and readership.

The graph below illustrates their visits. The site is averaging only about 130 visits a day.


Below is the graph for P IV which continues to have a strong following and grateful for the visitors and their comments.

Bully for you! While I agree with you that the change in blogging format from DD to JD is a little frustrating. Tell me, are you sad that the "kid" your kicking around has turned a deaf ear and a blind eye in your direction?

You are of course the white knight that slaughtered the evil blog dragon...

Hey JC, I gots a neck problem. Print a vertical photo, will ya?

In a way, pg, you're right. The JD site is now irrelevant. That's why nobody reads it. But you sure have to ask yourself what makes guy like Henessieyye tick. He has a site with Ted, that cound have been taken over by another, than allowed competing ideas, and replaced it with a mindless listing of slant. Kind of for folks like you, with their heads leaned strongly to the left. But Teds site was always good natured and fun to read. Now this?

The new Demo site does HAS, as you say, turned a blind eye towards PIE, but they are now deaf and blind to everyone. The new Hensessy thought processes. Unexplainable, and dumb.

OK. And so what does this prove?

In a society where slime gets more attention than edification, you're the slimiest?

Congratulations! You're the Jerry Springer of blogs! LOL

PIV, this post only proves you have way too much time on your hands, coloring and designing cute little charts and graphs.

Hey Plum

Thanks for the compliments!

Come back soon and express your opinion because Jeff Dem no longer allows opinions

So you are in effect deeming yourself the republican blog and are accusing democrats of not offering a counterpoint blog to yours?

Who wrote the rules that say that every blog needs a counter blog? Answer: There is no such rule!

So you can speculate and poke and prod all you want. Dems no longer have a counter blog - they don't need one. They are now focusing their efforts on community service, looking at the big picture of the economic crisis, and are not looking to criticize any point of view, but rather are looking to address the needs of everyone regardless of political affiliation.

Congratulations to them!

iv has been gradually coming to terms with the fact that this is a whole-hearted republican blog. back when i started reading, at least, the masthead read something like "a little cleansing of the political rhetoric from an independent voice of reason". after a little prodding, perhaps, that changed to "a little cleansing of the political rhetoric from a check and balance." (sorry if i'm bungling the exact quotes -- i know they're right in the essentials, but the exact originals seem to have gone down the memory hole.) and now there's a quote from dick armey -- that's some progress! and in fairness, iv plainly admitted back in september that s/he "comes down on the right side of the political equation".

i think the main lingering bit of dishonesty is "iv" itself, which is supposed to stand for "independent voice". that was one thing i really appreciated about dd's blog: almost all of us who follow politics have our biases of one sort or another, and it's much better to wear them out in the open and try to grapple with them there. dd had the honesty to put his right into his very name -- quite the contrast from the slippery business around here. i miss his blog.

I agree with my new palsie Kermit. I miss his Ted's blog too. And whether PIV is an elephant blog or not, does not matter. The fact is you can hear both sides. That's the whole story of this little circus. If Henecrap.org sees itself as an informational deal, as my bud Kermit told us, that's fine too. But the timing of that, with it "replacing" Ted's defunct give and take DD, was at the very least unfortunate. I can't believe heneessie did it right after the election. "Talk all you want people, but now that we have the jobs, we don't care what you have to say." Not smart, even in a one-party state. Now he wants us to annoint him County Clerk. Tell me Sean, if we elect you, are we allowed to ask you any questions, or we allowed only to submit form letters to Hennnessysmanure.com?

JC aka pg - How about the visitor stats for your blog, it looks like u allow some comments but there aren't any. What's up with that? Must be your likable personality!

Anonymous said...

WOW JC,
Can you handle the traffic?
If you could annoy properly you'd have traffic.
However, we must admit you did sway the chamber election for mudgeon and spouse.

J C aka PG; time for u to pick up your dolls and go home.
Go back to the Bay and pick on the village/town board and local PD, they seem to listen to you well.

Perhaps the reason for the change to the JeffDem site is due to the fact that they are now in control. I would expect that the site will come back alive when the next election nears.

Give 'em a break.

How right you are , alot of the sites get hoping around election time.
Got to spread those rumors and the net works great for that

I see this Plummer guy dislikes your posts, but he still reads them. He must be something.

Just my dime.

Get yer dime back.

This is mindless, rudimentary, ignorant stuff, even by my standards.

And I'm not even sure what we're arguing about right now. Just keep going, I'll catch up.

You can comb the entire history of Political IV site, and you'll see that the Jan 4 was my first post ever. And this post will only be my 2nd, and I assure you, my last.

PIV's charts and graphs post was brought to my attention by a custodian in our building. He loves Jerry Springer, and he likes telling me of the blogs he reads. He typed PIV's web-address on my computer to show me the charts and graphs post.

After reading the post, I told him it's human nature that the person who says the most repulsive things will always get the bigger audience, but he rarely deserves the bigger audience.

I noticed he hasn't mentioned PIV in a while. In fact, I think he stopped reading PIV.
