The Conservative Talking Points iPhone app. Tons of information for $1.99

There’s a new iPhone app geared for conservative political activists and conservatives who want to win arguments with liberals. The “Conservative Talking Points” iPhone app, $1.99, provides an extensive yet easily-accessed collection of sourced information, data, quotes and more on 50 different political topics. Its creators say it is “filled with 205 talking points backed by over 965 supporting facts and figures,” all organized in a “quick reference format” that makes it easy to find information with just a few thumb-taps on the iPhone screen.

Among the wide range of topics covered: abortion, capital punishment, judicial activism, health care reform and climate change policy, not to mention “cash for clunkers,” the ACLU, energy policy, illegal immigration, the liberal roots of the housing crash, fundamentals of conservatives, news media bias, the Second Amendment and gun rights, and the separation of church and state.

Mesh Media Strategies likes the new app – but hopes the next version includes more interactivity tools and integration with other iPhone apps and tools. For example, it would be useful to be able to email, tweet or post to Facebook information entries directly from the Conservative Talking Points iPhone app – with the touch of a button or by cutting and pasting, which isn’t currently possible on the app. And it would be much more useful if the app provided live hyperlinks to the cited sources for the information it serves up.
