This is not a news channel. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

When will the Democrats speak out on the another hypocrisy of the right wing?

Right wingers supporting another Hollywood actor? But the right wing bashed Hollywood and actors in 2000 and 2004.

Now they are supporting one? Fred Thompson is a Hollywood actor.

Someone please tell the right wing zombies!

luntz... phhppt

it is the luntz's of the world that have helped reduced political discourse to focus groups, talking points, spin-spin-spin and message-discipline. luntz and his slimy ilk have found positive ways to spin such unspinnable issues as the deficit and 9/11...

i quote luntz, "September 11 changed everything. So start with 9/11 ... Without the context of 9/11, you will be blamed for the deficit ... The trick then is to contextualize the deficit inside of 9/11."

niiiiice one. package it up, mix it with rat meat and sell it to the public as FDA-approved filet mignon, bekawse we dum sheeple ain't knows nones better does us.

fucker.

hey luntz, how does 'you are a putz' poll? in the 18-34 market?

Howzaboot hizonner Queen of New Yawk?

Let's face it, as far as the republican candidates go, they have nothing. Each one has his one trick but none of them are presidential material.

How's this for a campaign slogan:

McCain is Able.

My cat's breath smells like cat food

Seems like FOX is burying the polls already and declare Rudy in the lead.

None of these people identified the principal shortcoming in our electoral apparatus:

Themselves.

Like the woman who thought it was great that Giuliani had done all those wonderful things for New York, but wanted him to address other issues. Not even a clue that most of those wonderful things were ... lies. No critical faculties, any of them. All about 'style,' 'attitude,' leadership.' Phooey. Like listening to bad movie reviews.

And none of them was moved to punch out Luntz. I would have.

I'd say Luntz is the biggest loser - that entire segment was pathetic

i remember when tweety had luntz the dunce on hardball all the time during the 2000 election. and again in 2004. not one time did tweety or the dunce say that he was a repube polster. not one time as i remember it. yet tweety had this dweeb doing the same dog and pony show, even with his favorite electroni minute by minute, tracking device and it seemed as though every time the on air poll tracked towards the boy king george. tweety could not praise luntz enough. until i hear luntz interviewed on fresh air with teri gross i did not know he was such a repube. the meer sight of him sickens me to this day after hearing him in that interview.
what a typical repube group, style over substance.....like their boy king hero george has proven...all the sizzle without the steak...the sort of candidate they vote for.

Sounds like you bent your wookie.

This is a tricky time for the Fox News nuts. They have to focus on style over substance because it's too early to tell which bandwagon they'll be riding on a year from now.

r€nato @ 4:

Rudy Giuliani, who even FOXNews Republicans think needs to increase his repertoire beyond “I was the mayor of NYC!”

well, that's all he's got...

Nah, he's got plenty more.

He married his cousin.

He tried to move his mistress into the Mayors residence while fighting a nasty public divorce.

The police and Fire Department hate him.

His kids hate him.

He's flip-flopped on Abortion, Stem Cells, Immigration so much, he makes
John Kerry look like Lincoln!

He's generally an egostically blowhard..

What MORE do you want from a Republic candidate?

Didn't Rudy make a quip - thanking Fred for doing so well in his role in Law and Order - playing Rudy's part? I couldn't tell because of the noise that the falling "lead balloon" was making.

Being a Republican shill Lutz gets paid well enough to afford a top quality hair piece, unlike the poor guy at the 1:00 minute mark. His rug looks like it's about to it the floor.

I like how the one woman representing the 'younger generation' is at least 35.

This whole interview's perspective of these randomly picked 29 Republicans (right) felt like it was being massaged to the credit of McCain.

It was so patently blatant to the casual observer that at best it was a lame theatrical attempt to amuse the audience...

Even if I were a die-hard McCain Republican enthusiast I would be dismayed at this latest phony attempt to sell his political perspective on Fox News....

redcat @ 36:

the fox blonde said mccain will keep me safe. you mean he's going to use a rubber.

That wouldn't (ahem) go down so well with the Evangelicals. He'll just pull out, instead.

The Repiglicans are all for pulling out now?

Let's try this one

Republicans are so effing dumb. According to that video, they basically want a leader that will make them feel safe and sounds presidential. Fucking simpletons.

This video is the sort of thing that makes me think John Edwards is the most electable candidate.

The thing that they liked about McCain was that they saw him as informed and 'consice' (you can nearly make a drinking game out of all the times you'll hear that word in this video). Supposedly saying what he means. Well, for those of us who support Edwards, that is the thing that probably drew most of us to Edwards in the first place. We find that he stands up for his values and is clear on the course he wants to take, he's not running on style points. He says what he is going to do and we trust him to walk the talk.

As I see it Edwards is the real deal who sticks his neck out when he says that we need politically regulate and limit the same corporate influences such as the Fortress Investment Group whom he consulted for in 2005 and to make them pay their fair share in taxes to help out with our health care system (hopefully paying less then what they do now for providing that same service). He tries to create a conversation among Americans about what it is that they really want. He's been critical of our party yet proposes solutions as well. He has brought issues like poverty, K street contributions, specific health care plans, fair trade - not free trade with South Korea into the discussion among the Democratic candidates. He's inserted specifics on issues like this forcing Obama and Clinton especially to take specific stands on these issues (well, except for Clinton's refusal so far to say what her health care plan will consist of). The GOP candidates are certainly saying little about how they intend to fulfill all this happy talk they espouse.

The upshot of this post is that all across America, this is what people are looking for and Edwards has been all about leading a united America from back in 2003. I think that more than a few conservatives may well be ready to get on board with someone who truly proposes change, even if it means trying a new approach to things. We had an era where we saw Reagan Democrats become the GOP faithful (in a way, I was part of that myself a long time ago). I say we are just as likely to create a generation of Edwards conservatives. Watch the video and tell me if it doesn't sound like these people are pining for the kind of leader whom they may even be willing to change their world view for.

Folksy.

I've visited NYC. Vote for me!!

I know Frank Luntz slightly, or at least knew him when we worked together briefly on a Senate campaign about 15 years ago. On the basis of a number of long face-to-face meetings I can offer this reasonably authoritative verdict:

That is NOT a hairpiece. It's just a REALLY bad haircut.

He seems happy that style matters.

I love how they're trying so hard to make John McCain look good (I wonder what he's doing in return?) and ignore Ron Paul. I saw the clips of Ron Paul's appearance there on Youtube and he definitley had the people on his side and he's more your typical republican than the republicans and he's supposed to be a libertarian (of course now that he's running for president he's a republican) McCain must be getting desperate. I wonder how Luntz got these people to be for McCain.

I love how the little audience Luntz was talking to all pretty much had the same answers except they changed some of the wording and of course they're angry about immigration since they're all WHITE. Not a single minority was there interviewed. I thought they were the party of the big tent???
