Which is absolutely, inarguably, 100% true.
And what has Luntz really done in his career to make him the go-to focus grouping guy? He came up with "death tax" instead of "estate tax" back in the 90s (IIRC). That's it. Yay for him.
Luntz and his ilk are the ones who essentially craft all of the messages R pols use. They don't have a good track record of coming up with good messaging, I'd say.

If Trump can help highlight people like Fiorina, Cruz and perhaps Carson, then all the better.
He is not behaving as predicted by the MFM and the Establishment, which is having a salutary effect on the process.
I'll start worrying about Trump if - IF - he actually wins the nomination.

Luntz is an asshole.
In fact, Penn & Teller did an episode featuring him on their show Bullshit! and Luntz basically joked about how his use of phrasing in a question can get him whatever answer he wants (calling people dumb and saying he manipulates his polling questions and focus groups to sway public opinion instead of reflecting it).
And he is NOT in any way a conservative. Just a public manipulator up for bid.

The idea is to try and get people to feel weird or not part of the "it" thing. It's trying to telegraph how you're supposed to feel about Trump and if you don't, you're wrong and strange.
Pretty clearly gross manipulation. I don't know if it'll work. I'm thinking Trump isn't going to go down in the polls much if at all. Who knows? I do think people are pissed off enough to see this stuff for what it is and to start ignoring it though.

This is why I'm not angry with him.
Because this kind of thing needs to be said. Someone needs to say, "fuck Luntz and his hapless idiots, we cannot base political policy and theory on what these barely functioning people think. Why do we give this guy Luntz such a big platform? Who the fuck is he anyways? What are his biases?"
And Trump is being a wreckingball. He's calling out everyone I wish I could call out if I had a bigger microphone.

The smallness of it, just insulting the whole focus group. This exposes his true nature to everyone! No one will vote for him now. He will be a pariah. He won't even get invited to his own birthday parties anymore. His wife is about to divorce him. It's finally over.

I saw him on TV a couple of weeks ago, claiming that while, yes, all of his panel was from New York City they were "scientifically" selected to represent the entire country. I'm sorry, but despite his so-called claim to the authority of science (TM), the idea that a group from New York City would be representative of the population is as preposterous as claiming that a group selected entirely from Muleshoe, Texas would be representative of the population. It's idiotic, and so are the people who put any stock into what he's selling.

But yeah, someone needs to say, "hey candidates, why do you all keep hiring the same sack of shit 'consultants' who have never won a national election and just seem to 'consult' their candidates in to insulting their base, 'pivoting to the middle', then losing and delivering a good concession speech.

Unfortunately Megyn and the others have made Fux respectable in the eyes of MSLSD and CNN. Even before I cut my cable 3 years ago, I stopped watching them because of Geraldo, O'Dummy and Shemp. And when Britt Hume and Kraut and the others showed their inner RINO, that was it for me.

The shame of the Aztec was that the concept vehicle it was based on was a great looking car. But, when GM started it toward production the infamous GM bean-counters got involved and destroyed it. They wanted to use bits and pieces of other models (minivan frame, etc) to build it and won the money argument. Thus, you got one of the ugliest, dumbest cars to hit the road in decades.

A young couple was standing nearby. I heard the girl ask the guy, what's that?" To which he replied, "that's the new Pontiac Anthrax."

Thing floor pan was the same as the Type 14 Karmann Ghia which is wider than a standard Type 1 Beetle. Synchronized four speed transmission mated to a 1600cc air cooled engine versus the non-synchro split case transmission and 1100cc air cooled engine of the Kubelwagen. 12V versus 6V. Four lug wheels versus 5 lug. Spare tire on the Kubelwagen was semi-recessed on the front hood, spare tire on the Thing was not recessed.

The police detectives who investigated the death of Freddie Gray were told that he had a history of participating in "crash-for-cash" schemes - injuring himself in law enforcement settings to collect settlements - but were advised by a state prosecutor not to pursue the information, according to defense attorneys for the six officers charged in Gray's arrest and death.

nothing with its WWII cousin.
Thing floor pan was the same as the Type
14 Karmann Ghia which is wider than a
standard Type 1 Beetle. Synchronized four
speed transmission mated to a 1600cc air
cooled engine versus the non-synchro split
case transmission and 1100cc air cooled
engine of the Kubelwagen. 12V versus 6V.
Four lug wheels versus 5 lug. Spare tire on
the Kubelwagen was semi-recessed on the
front hood, spare tire on the Thing was not
recessed.
If you want to get technical.

If Trump wants to run on a 3rd party, so be it, start that right now. I'm starting to wonder if Trump's coziness with the Clintons is all a big set up.

You know who doesn't think anything matters? Hillary Clinton. Granted, the media is in her pocket -- but all D politicians just shrug and move on. It's only R politicians that get their panties in a wad constantly over every tiny thing.

Because Luntz goes out and finds "random samplings" of "undecided" American voters. Then during campaign season, Fox News has Luntz ask these "undecided voters" how they feel about candidates. Usually after debates, but sometimes randomly.
Candidates hire him to this for them behind the scenes, too, obviously.
The people that he gets on his panels are always some of the most low information idiots on the planet. (I mean, by design. He has to find "undecided" people, who are usually essentially just "uninformed" people).
They're just... idiots. The things they care about are stupid, the questions Luntz asks are stupid, and the entire thing is clearly crafted to give Fox or Luntz or whoever wrote the questions the answers they want.

Naw, the VW Thing was purposefully un-pretty, to give it that pseudo-military "tactical" look, long before "tactical" was used in the sense of "style". VW noticed the then-huge popularity of Beetle-based dune buggies, and tried to get a piece of that market into their new-car showrooms with a modern knock-off of the WWII Kubelwagen, which really had none of its ancestor's off-road capability. But they are highly collectible, now.

Bill Clinton, some months ago: "Hey, Donald, how would you like to punk conservatives and, at the same time, hand the presidency to my wife?"
Donald Trump: "Sure, but I expect to be rewarded after she wins."
Bill Clinton: "Of course, of course. Here's the plan. Make your campaign about 'dirty Mexicans'. No, seriously. You won't win, but it'll let us keep painting the GOP as a bunch of inbred racists. Then, once Jeb buys the nomination, you can run as a third party, split the Republican vote, and Hillary will coast to victory. Just like I did with Perot."

Luntz is one of those people not many people know about, who who wields incredible power in the R "establishment" and election process.
As trump would say, he's YUGE in the GOPe.
Luntz's dunces (or others of their ilk) craft almost all phrasing, speeches, policies, etc. of R candidates.
So when we say "this fucking candidates say one thing in the primary, then go 180 in the general" its thanks to Luntz and his dunces, along with the GOPe consultants who advice candidates to listen to Luntz and his room full of barely functioning idiots.

Decorum is about the lowest priority right now. Americans are too prone to be like "I can forgive X everything, so long as when he abuses me and screws me over, he does it with decorum". Time to reverse that. Forgive him for lacking decorum as long as he does the right thing.

Bullshit. Hell, Perot promised a huge gasoline tax to fight the deficit.
Bush Sr was a piece of shit, but the Clintons gave a much bigger tax increase than anything that came from Bush Sr. Nevermind what the Clintons did to our National Security and nearly rammed down socialized medicine.
Perot put the Clintons in the White House and I really don't see a consolation prize to that. Trump putting the Clintons back in office is not going to advance conservatism.

That's fine; I don't have any desire to be in politics. :^), and for people that actually know me I'm a direct person and people know what I think. I think it's possible to be assertive and dignified as Fiorina demonstrates. Don't like Rosie? Say "I don't care for your personality Rosie and I disagree with your POV on many things such as __ and _ and __". If people are cheering on Trump for hitting at low hanging fruit such as teepee star from "The View" I think that's silly. When he addresses issues trump is fine. He's still thin skinned. Wr've had six years of it. I don't like it. Does it mean I wouldn't vote for him. Yes, I would if he became the Republican candidate. Hell, Walker was getting death threats. He was direct and assertive. Not a loud mother fool who occasionally says some correct things.

That's journalism, right there. Ambushing and destroying politicians you don't like, while helping and supporting politicians you do.
Especially while playing the role of a "moderator" at a "debate".
There was no "debate" in any kind of dictionary sense of the word last night, and the "moderators" were anything but. They were active participants, soaking up most of the oxygen and time, and had the mission to take out anyone that wasn't Jeb or Kasich.

Please remember, the Bush family HATED Reagan. It was Pappy that coined the phrases "trickle down" to attack him.
Aside from Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan, all Republican presidents in this century are either progressives or big government statists.
Look what Reagan did in 8 years despite major opposition from all sides including his own party. 25 years of the greatest growth the world had ever seen and the liberation of millions of people.

Did Fox make sure to put Megyn in CFM shoes last night, and a shrink wrapped dress?
Fox News is becoming the Housewives of LA fashion display. It's getting really hard to take female "journalists" seriously when most of their female television personalities are dressed like expensive hookers (I except Harris Faulkner from that, she normally looks business like and respectable). The rest of the Five crew and often the F&F cast are in on the prowl cocktail dresses or hooker uniforms that would at least get you into the best hotels. And NO ONE in the real world wears six inch stilettos with two inch platforms in various shades of red, etc. like they do on Fox.
Yesterday am, the Stepford Wife was wearing a pink minidress that she had to keep her knees plastered together in order to not show off her Thursday thong. The camera had to stay up above the set and close in or......

The police detectives who investigated the death of Freddie Gray were told that he had a history of participating in 'crash-for-cash' schemes - injuring himself in law enforcement settings to collect settlements - but were advised by a state prosecutor not to pursue the information, according to defense attorneys for the six officers charged in Gray's arrest and death.

Almost as if Gray had a a particular way or method of doing something, especially one that is characteristic or well-established.

Story time! I was in recently-East Germany when many of the roads were still cobblestone. I was driving a rented BMW on a rainy night after one too many Scotches and slid off into a slight ditch whereupon I was stuck.
A guy with a Trabant stopped to help and had a tow cable. I said boy it's luck you have a tow cable. He said "Trabi fahrer haben alles" (Trabi drivers have everything).
Unfortunately the Trabant weighed about 150 lbs. to the BMW's 4,000 so he did not pull me out of the ditch.

Why do most of the people involved in this discussion have last names that are one syllable with a "U" as the vowel?
Is this some kind of secret code? A conspiracy?
We need to have nicknames for all the others to match the pattern.
Christie = Tub (of lard)
Kasich = Butt (of jokes)
Huckabee = Huck (pre-existing nickname)
Rubio = Rub (why not?)
Paul - P'ul (Lovecraftian)
Carson = Surg (short for "surgeon")
Walker = Skull (as in "Throne of Skulls")

The Reagan model is essentially Milton Friedman's. he lowered the marginal tax rate of Carter from (what was it?) 38% to like 15% and the economy skyrocketed.
The model is low taxes, minimal regulation and the result is prosperity across the board. That is a fact.

I'll agree that the debate was terrible and that there was something 'off' about it. But everyone predicted this. This was not a surprise that the moderators would go after Trump and try to derail him in the early going.

While he consulted Milton Friedman, the economic model was not loyal to Friedman (or Hayek) and was focused on Keynesian-type "stimulus" but from the supply side.
A free market fan of the Hayekian bend would say that government should never under any circumstances be in the game of stimulating either supply or demand or in any other way messing with the free flow of trade dictated by organic supply and demand.
...Just sayin'.

I agree he fucked up, but just about every President has raised taxes, including Reagan. Usually its part of some overall deal.
The "new" tax under Bush was some absurd royalty tax for the recording industry that was part of some budget deal.
I really don't think conservatism was advanced over handing the Clintons the White House over that one issue, and income taxes went up through the roof over that temper tantrum. Then our next president was Bush's son.

But anyway.
There were some very good substantive and even emotional outbursts. Trump wasn't involved in any.
And Megyn Kelly is a low class twat. What's with all the emotional, personal animosity and empty headed rambling? I thought the questions were suppose to be detached, yet tough. Isn't that what we call-out the MSM for all the time. Yet we get the Three Stooges asking questions last night.

No, I've been on this riff since 2008.
Why are R's doing debates at all as currently defined?
Why?
As a high information primary likely voter, you'd think "oh maybe this will be useful to me to find out the candidates positions" but instead its a round robin speed dating "gotcha question" game show type event.
It's undignified and it's not helpful to me at all.
And LIVs aren't watching it.
So... what's the point?
Oh, that's right. To give the MSM some sound bites to spend the next few weeks musing over and to try to trip up the candidates and make them look stupid.
That's what the MSM does 24/7 in interviews. Why get them all on a stage to do it on a grander scale?
It's ... beyond pointless.
AND AGAIN it only helps the Democrats. Because they never get this treatment. Ever. This is free oppo research for Dems.

Well, it's really more a difference in theory then in implementation.
Reagans policies ended up producing real free market growth.
But in a real free market, tax rates should be completely fair, flat, minimal and there to produce (limited) revenue for the government and nothing else.
To give "selective tax breaks" or other special privileges to one industry over another or one company over another is, well, what the left likes to call "crony capitalism"

I swear....I have been called a purist so many times I could vomit...especially considering the total jackasses I've voted for on the R ticket. All I'm asking is "tell me what you really believe"....don't pander, don't glad hand....tell me what you think is the actual solution to the actual f'ng problem.
Then, if I agree with you on 80%, you will probably get my vote over someone from the Communist Party of America disguised as Democrats. Now, if there is someone who honsetly agrees with me 100% of the time, I'll vote for him in the primary, but be proud to fall back on the 80% guy if my guy doesn't win. That is IF the 80% guy is honest.

Trump is a showing himself to be what he always has been, a classless little rich boy who was damned lucky his dad gave him $100,000,000 to start out in life, and has resented it ever since. We have spent the last 7 years dealing with a grown man working out his daddy issues in the White House; the last thing we need is a nearly 70 year old man doing it for the next four years on our dime.
I enjoyed watching Trump implode. Somebody should have told him that being a douchebag to the top female news personality on the top news cable network to her face wasn't a good decision. He doubled down on stupid after the debate and kept whining like the pathetic little bitch that he is.
What a tool and what a loser. He could have used with a few people telling him to shut the fuck up and sit down and learn something in his life instead of everybody always kissing his ass because of his dad's money. It would have helped him learn to be an adult instead of still being an arrested development adolescent into his late 60s.

And again, in a sane world that'd be a great idea.
But in order to fund anywhere near current levels of government and debt servicing, the "national sales tax" would probably have to be something like 35%. Plus your state sales tax, of say 5%.
Is anyone going to actually pay 40% in taxes?
I think it would create a massive black / grey market over night and the government would get nowhere near the revenue they thought they would.

That wasn't a "new" tax, but considering the backdrop of Clinton jacking it up way more than that and in other tax brackets, but yea, I think it was small potatoes. Reagan raised his original tax rates all sorts of times in an effort to flatten the rate and cut loopholes.
It seems the only issue that conservatives are willing to die for is income rates on the top brackets not being touched.
Again, don't support it but I wouldn't have voted 3rd party over it and certainly don't think our country was better served with Bill and Hillary in charge as penance for this sin.

It was before my tax paying time as well. But yea Reagan brought the top rate down to 28%. Which is incredible if you think about it since it was 70% when he came into office.
And the El Jorge Bush Senior raised it to 31% in a spirit of bipartisanship.

IIRC, it was the largest tax increase in history up to that time.
It also showed what a sucker Bush was. The deal was supposed to be $1.50 in cuts for every $1 of tax increase. The tax increase happened, the cuts didn't.

That's because when you increase the top rate on evil rich people, you're really increasing it on everyone else. If an evil rich person has to pay an extra $1M in taxes, where do you think he gets that extra $1M? He either doesn't spend $1M on good/services which means fewer people are employed to produce those goods/services OR he increases prices on his services/goods in order to make up the money.
That's it. Those are the only 2 ways a tax increase on evil rich people works. So either fewer people work, or everyone pays more for "stuff".
You might wamt to take a look at Bernie Sanders. He wants to raise the top rate to 90%. Right up your alley.

He lost because Clinton was well Clinton, Perot and the fact the MSM kept pretending we were in a Great Depression when it was a mild recession that was over by early 1992.
I don't buy the "he lost because he increased taxes" reasoning.

In fairness, unless he wins straight out, I would think Trump increases the chance of getting that ticket as he sucks up all the anti-establishment votes.

These guys are starting to make the Obama true-believers in 2008 look sober and rational.

we still have time to see how the candidates shake out, But we certainly have been insulted and ignored by team gope for quite a while now.
i think it's good they might have to actually sweat at this point.
perhaps have an epiphany about america its citizens and the fiscal disaster we are headed for.

my party's rotten to the core
ain't talkin' 'bout Jeb
just like I told you before, before
you know we'd been on the edge
and then Obama pushed us down
we lost a lot of friends there baby
and now it's time to Trump around
ain't talkin' 'bout Jeb...

Only any idiot would cite that as proof of anything. Oh yeah, Trump cited it.
Like I said.
Donald Trump, hero to small-dicked, divorced, bankrupt assholes everywhere.
Keep calling Megyn Kelly a "bimbo." What a fucking genius he is.
I'm still wondering how managing to go bankrupt running casinos, not once, but four times, is possible. Perhaps Trump should go out to Indian country and ask them how they manage not to do it.

/about Trump?
I mean, if we're going to make a person discuss their little twitter slapfights let's get both sides.
This is what Trump does, these little skirmishes w/other loud-mouth celebs, and he gets kick out of it.
Am I a fan of it? No.
Do I feel bad for Rosie, given that she freely lets ad hominem attack fly at people who annoy her? No.
Do I think a president should be above such petty trash talk? Of course, and yet.....
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Exhibit A in assholish trash talking from the podium: Barack Obama (see this week's Iran speech)

The really sad part about Todd Akin...his voting record as a Representative was almost perfect conservative. Then when he ran for Senate, he opened his mouth.

The Trumpbots have convinced me the next Prez will be a Democrat, anyway. Most likely Hillary.
Funny thing is, they'll turn around and point the finger at the rest of us whether we supported Ted Cruz, a "GOPe" or whoever.
We're doomed.

In my yellow jersey, I went out on the nick
South Street Romford, shopping arcade
Got a Razzle magazine, I never paid
Inside my jacket and away double quick
Good sense told me, once was enough
But I had a cocky eye for more of the stuff
With the Razzle in my pocket, back to have another peek
Instead of being sneaky, I strolled inside
I put my thieving hand on something rude
I walked right out with a silhouette of noods
. . .

Relax and just enjoy the pre-game show with most the rest of us, it'll be over soon enough, enjoy it while it lasts.

And neither are 65% of the candidates.
Posted by: HUCK / AKIN 2016 at August 07, 2015 02:29 PM (0LHZx)
True, which is why I have a hard time giving a shit about any of them. . I feel so meh about it all that I certainly don't want to get into a passionate fight with the Morons and ettes about the worth or lack thereof of any of them. I like Fiorina and Jindal the best. They're not going to get the nomination.

If I recall correctly, the deal with the Dems was a 1:1 tax increase/budget cuts. The tax increase was about $250 billion, the budget cuts never happened (they were planned future cuts).
Then the recession happened, and with the lying MSM mantra of worse economy since WWII, "out of touch" and broken promise the die was cast against Bush.
