Frank Luntz on CSPAN, giving "advice" to Dems
host introduces him as "Focus Group Leader," frequent guest on Hardball, or something like that.

did I miss the mention of his deep deep deep rethuglican (Pothole party) ties

see Pothole Party
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=957837

"A pothole.
This nickname comes from the fact that the republicans don't invest in road repairs.

Oh, man! I hit another republican!"

did anyone catch Luntz's intro, as the FIRST thing they discussed was the demo party "anger," and the need to mediate it. this so ties in with the other thread, dealing with the first segment, which was so-called dem anger/hate?

sure hope a caller mentions Luntz's WH ties, including him bragging about getting stopped for speeding on his way to the White House

1. Why Can't He Get A Decent Hairpiece?
It's amazing how this "homer" is given credibility...especially since he spins his lies in "statistics"...giving a living example of the adage: "Statistics Lie and Liars Use Statistics"

Listening to this "moran" speak as a Democrat is like getting a sex lecture from the Pope.

2. Luntz Hates New York!
he said it, then immediately corrected himself!

he HATES! he's a.........HATER!

talking about how dems are so LOUD during his focus groups, cause they're so mad at Bush.

now, back to dem anger.

says they're not angry.....they have such "contempt"

their anger will take them to 40-45 percent of the vote, but not to fifty ONE percent.

at which point Stevie actually corrects him, saying that 51 percent of the vote doesn't mean anything......it's the EC

3. Great. - Advice from one of the GOP minions
Hannity is always doling out advice too, now that I think about it. The Repukes are such kind-hearted souls.

4. Steve just mentioned he's a Repblican pollster
caller just said he'd like to break Bush's jaw, to which Luntz, to give him credit, thanked the caller for his Xmas spirit, and did NOT make the point that caller "so well represented the point I was trying to make about dem anger."

I was going to mention that callers should ask him what sort of animal he's raising on his head, btw!

he's publicly said it's real hair, ha.

so he KNOWS

5. Luntz touts the booming economy, ha
but says he knows deficits will be a problem

caller says booming economy is horseshit, that every dollar poured into this economy is borrowed money.

next caller says that Luntz is a lobbyist for Israel, mentioned he was "severely embarrased" by a report he did for some group, at which he was cut off.

Luntz said he was proud to be working for whatever group it is, helping "to get his point across"

next caller says he hears LOTS of pugs trying to give dems advice, says polls are twisted.

asks why pollsters don't list party affiliations of those polled.

Luntz says people at top/bottom income groups don't respond to polls....gee, Frank, so that would be, what, three million at the top, and, like 80 million at the bottom? would THAT, perhaps, skew your polls just a TAD, raccoon boy?

6. I'm watching now... and I'm going to hurl
did you hear one caller say he'd like to wring bush's neck or some such thing? LOL

:puke: :puke: :puke:

It's interesting how the repugs talk about our "hatred/anger" and vitriol when we talk about bush etc. Yet, when I read the "hate mail" thing just right here on DU alone, it's FILLED with viciousness and how much they want to do away with DEMS! Telling us to "go away" etc.

8. Loves Lieberman
Says he's a wonderful role model for kids.

Yeah, if the kid wants to learn how to be unpassionate, passive, and a doormat.

10. to be fair, though
he said the qualities that make him a good senator (passivity, fecklessness, hypocrisy?) make him a bad presidential candidate.

damn, last call already!

9. now he's calling Clark 'discoish'

11. Luntz just admits HE outsources, on occasion
what you wanna bet he does it ALL the time.

says Americans can't have it both ways!

whadda ya mean, bozoid? can't have a job that pays a decent WAGE?

I wish a caller asked how much HE makes, and how much he's paid by republican groups, RNC, conservative affiliated borg orgs

14. Also said he was "exception"...he had a bad broker....
as the reason he did not get his money back in the stock market this year. As I recollect, he had a bunch of Enron stock that he lost his ass on?
