Romney’s secret Twitter account... he’s basically your crazy #resistance uncle

Maybe if they worried less about things like that and focused more on their real problems, they would be better off.

Romney never had a chance, nor did McCain.  Neither of them wanted to win anyways, but both never had a shot in hell.

Yup.  93% of Negroes, 70% of Hispanics, 80% of Jews, 70% of Asians, 80% of Muslims and a whole lot of white cucks can't be wrong.

Do you really have to use the term "negro"?  You know that that term will only rile up people.  Your posts for the most part are enjoyable but the race baiting needs to be curtailed.  It serves no good purpose.

For quite some time now weâ€ve wondered whatâ€s going on with congressional Republicans. There are a lot of nice people in the Republican Party, but the point of a political party is not to be nice, it is to represent the interests of its voters. Thatâ€s the only reason political parties exist. There is no other reason to have them except to represent their voters.

Yet year after year, on issue after issue, the leadership of the Republican Party fails to do that. Weâ€re not guessing about this. We know what Republican voters care about. They tell pollsters all the time. Since they kept getting ignored, in 2016 they elected Donald Trump, just to make it incredibly clear what they cared about. If that wasnâ€t a wake-up call, nothing would be.

However, it remains true that the priorities of the people who run the Republican Party are very different — in some cases, completely different — from the priorities of the people who vote Republican. Why is that? Well, there are lots of reasons, probably, but Frank Luntz is definitely one of them.

Luntz — Dr. Frank I. Luntz, as heâ€s often called, at his request — is the Republican Partyâ€s longest-serving message man. For decades, Frank Luntz has told elected Republicans what to say and exactly how to say it. Luntz massages language for politicians. Just this week, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) invited Luntz to Florida for its so-called "policy summit," where he was asked to weigh in on the "hot topics." Luntzâ€s job was to tell Republicans how to think about the most important issues of the day. We didnâ€t hear the presentation, but thereâ€s no doubt it was compelling.

MCCONNELL, REPUBLICANS SAY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION EMBRACE OF 1619 PROJECT NEEDS TO STOP

Frank Luntz is a smooth salesman. Heâ€s been around for a while. The problem is that Frank Luntzâ€s views are very different from those of your average Republican voter. Frank Luntz is a conventional liberal. His main clients are left-wing corporations like Google. When Frank Luntz gives advice to congressional Republicans, heâ€s got Googleâ€s perspective in mind. Thatâ€s a huge problem.

We wanted to talk to Luntz about all of this, not to attack him personally, but becaise itâ€s interesting and itâ€s important. We texted him an invitation, but he didnâ€t respond. Thatâ€s od, since weâ€ve known him well for a long time.

In 2019, for example, he tweeted this greeting, which tells you a lot about him: "This Thanksgiving, let's give thanks to the men and women of the FBI, CIA, and the intel services." Even on Thanksgiving, Frank Luntz took time to bow before the powerful.

So why does Frank Luntz remain a fixture in Republican politics at a time when the companies he works for are explicitly opposed to the Republican Party? Well, in part because he is particularly close to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy R-Calif., and has been since McCarthy entered politics.


In an interview earlier this year, Luntz described Kevin McCarthy as a personal friend. That relationship gives Frank Luntz outsized influence over the Republican Partyâ€s policy positions. Take the border crisis. Luntzâ€s view of immigration is very much like Googleâ€s view of immigration: America needs a lot more of it right away. Anyone who disagrees with that is a racist. Now, rather than simply say that out loud — rather than just make his case, in other words — Frank Luntz slyly dresses up his own personal opinions as a social science.

Heâ€ll conduct something called a "focus group," a moderated conversation between several people that has no actual relevance to anything. Itâ€s just random people yammering. Your ninety-second exchange with the UPS guy this morning meant more than a Frank Luntz focus group. Yet purely on the basis of that irrelevant conversation, Luntz manages to make pronouncements about the country and how the Republican Party should respond to it. Most of those pronouncements, as you can imagine, tend to comport perfectly with his own views, as well as the views of Google executives.

Axios reported recently on new Luntz findings about immigration. What did Frank Luntz supposedly find out about immigration? It turns out that Republican voters are actually dying to give amnesty to as many foreign nationals as possible. Theyâ€re demanding it right away. Itâ€s a top priority for them.

FRANK LUNTZ: They [Trump voters] believe in immigrants and immigration. They are pro-immigration and honestly, I was a little surprised because of what I see in the media. Trump supporters support the DREAM Act. They support these people, who were brought here through no fault of their own, [having] the ability to earn the path to citizenship ... We need these people, we actually have an economy thatâ€s expanding, thatâ€s growing.


"Weâ€re all the children of immigrants," he told us. "We need these people." Now that may be entirely true, maybe not. We can debate it. But Frank Luntz doesnâ€t want to debate it. He wants, instead, to pretend itâ€s established fact and that the Republican Party had better listen and obey. Open-borders activists immediately used Luntz's "research" to justify what they were already doing.

The National Immigration Forum tweeted out a link immediately. "DACA has bipartisan support," the group wrote, pointing to Frank Luntz's opinions posing as research as evidence of that. "Passing the DREAM Act is an opportunity to make real, meaningful progress."

You see? Amnesty has broad bipartisan support. Thereâ€s a national consensus in favor of opening the borders. So Republicans had better get on board, because Frank Luntzâ€s research proves they definitely want it.

This is pretty close to fraud. Whoâ€s served by it? Thatâ€s always the question in Washington. Well, Luntzâ€s corporate clients are served by it, of course, but the Democratic Party is aso served by it, a party whose priorities Frank Luntz appears to support. In 2012 he told the rest of us that, according to his highly scientific surveys of a dozen people in some shopping mall somewhere, most Americans actually really want the government to take their guns away.


FRANK LUNTZ: The public wants guns out of the schools, not in the schools. And theyâ€re not asking for a security official or someone else. I donâ€t think the NRA is listening, I donâ€t think that they understand. Most Americans would protect [their] Second Amendment rights and yet agree with the idea not every human being should own a gun. Not every gun should be available at any time, anywhere for anyone.

Notice the language there. You can protect the Second Amendment even as you gut it. Itâ€s just common sense gun control. Most Americans are for that. Who does that sound like? It sounds like Joe Biden, a man Frank Luntz has been friends with for a long time. Check out the note from Frank Luntz to Hunter Biden on Hunterâ€s laptop.

Luntzâ€s comments were Democratic Party talking points. But if youâ€d like more, thereâ€s this: an interview from last summer in which Luntz explains that the phrase "law and order" is somehow offensive to most people. Keep in mind that at the very moment Frank Luntz was saying this, American cities were on fire and people were dying. Why? Because there was no law and no order.

FRANK LUNTZ: Well I was critical that he [Trump] used the words law and order. Heâ€s assuming that we have the same politics as 1968 ... Donald Trump doesnâ€t realize that you can govern in a strong, stable, successful way and still use language that is warm and kind and empathetic.

Luntz: Don't know how Biden can unify when priorities are so differentVideo
Stopping riots isnâ€t warm and kind and empathetic. Doesnâ€t help equity

If that sounds a lot like something a corporate HR executive might say, you shouldnâ€t be surprised. As we said, Luntzâ€s main business is not helping the Republican Party. No, his main business is working for left-wing companies that despise the Republican Party, are horrified by Republican voters and all they believe. Luntzâ€s long list of corporate clients includes Jeff Bezos†Amazon, Facebook, Nike, Coca-Cola, Disney, Delta Air Lines, and the Chamber of Commerce. These are the people who pay Frank Luntzâ€s bills. In his spare time, Frank Luntz tells Kevin McCarthy how to run the Republican Party. You can see the conflict there. You wonder how itâ€s been allowed to continue.

In case you think weâ€re overstating Frank Luntzâ€s allegiance to corporate power, take a look at his Twitter feed.

"Delta employees made them the top-rated airline," he wrote last January, in what sounded very much like a press release. "That's something that only good workers can do, not shareholders."


Not long ago, when Donald Trump called for boycotting Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines after they interfered, in a very shocking way, in Georgiaâ€s political system, Luntz came to their defense. Of course he did. Theyâ€re his clients.

"This left-wing cancel culture is out of control," he wrote mockingly. Did Coke and Delta send him a bonus for that? We donâ€t know, but they should have.

Either way, toadying for big corporations pays well. Luntz has even built a replica of the Oval Office in his home.
