haha, good one jenn.
this experiment isn’t very fair though, turns out the conservatives’ website just sucks (which is telling in and of itself, ‘accountable’ and ‘transparent’ my ass). i tried coming up with reverse stats, using conservative keywords like ’security’ and ‘individual’ and ‘accountability’ (and ‘incompetent’) but nothing gets many hits cause their website just isn’t big enough.
