Luntz, the fraudster scamming the Repugs (and just about everybody, EXCEPT his employees)

Former employees of famed GOP pollster Frank Luntz say his work is a 'scam'

Luntz's claim to deliver objective data is a "total shtick and a scam."

Luntz trying to manipulate focus groups that used "dial testing," in which participants spin a small handheld device, yielding real-time results in response to questions asked by the presenter.

Luntz's primary concern, Ingram said, was results that would yield more "compelling" data to be "present[ed] to the client."

after a 14-month investigation that Luntz had "violated the Association's Code of Professional Ethics and Practices."

screening and selecting participants in a manner that Ingram called "quite frankly bull ."

He screened out anybody that isn't going to give the viewers the opinion that Frank, on behalf of his client, is looking for. Somehow, he is able to bull people."

Luntz is a frequent guest on MSNBC, CNBC and Fox News anchor Bret Baier's program.

asked to remain anonymous in fear of professional retribution, spoke to Salon about Luntz's lavish lifestyle and summarized his former boss as a "slimeball."

negative experiences from working with Luntz were "widespread" in Washington.

when Luntz presented himself as an impartial pollster running focus groups for VICE News and HBO in 2018,

he was actually being paid by Ted Cruz's Senate campaign.

"Luntz's career has been about nothing so much as cheapening language and obscuring honest discussion."

idea that there was a "lack of scientific certainty" about climate change. Those GOP strategies remain very much in evidence more than 20 years later.

Ingram described Luntz's ideas and his supposed commitment to impartial data science as "regurgitated crap."

I like to characterize working for Frank as like having a boss with a 200 IQ who is five years old."

iThe GOP is Trumpist-nationalist and their tacit concept is herrenvolk democracy, i.e., democracy only for "real Americans."

I would rather draw similarities with Putin and Erdogan, but this is a quibble, the GOP is basically a fascist party at this point.

‘Circus barkers’ running for Senate in Missouri prove the GOP is insane




Senate Republicans are on track to prevent a formal inquiry into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.


the answer to how the GOP got this way could be explained by looking at the Republicans running for the open Missouri Senate seat.

"Eric Greitens was elected Missouri governor after making national news for a campaign ad in which he fires a machine gun into a field for no apparent reason.

He made national news again, two years later, with his crash-and-burn exit from office under allegations of political corruption and personal depravity.

Greitens thinks this qualifies him for the Senate. Donald Trump's inner circle agrees,"

"Eric Schmitt's brief tenure as Missouri's attorney general has been notable for

his filing of silly, doomed lawsuits, including one against China, in pathetic pursuit of headlines."

"Mark McCloskey waved a gun around at protesters who were walking peacefully past his house, and then — well, actually, that's it, that's his entire political résumé. He's the quintessential MAGA candidate.

Meaning, a lying blowhard who's facing felony charges,"

"one of these three circus barkers is very likely going to the Senate.

This is how the GOP got like this,"

All-villain team: The 62 who voted against the bipartisan hate crimes bill are the worst of the worst GOPers in the House

the law was passed by whopping margins of 94-1 in the Senate and 364-62 in the House of Representatives.

it's not unreasonable to wonder who would possibly stoop so low as to vote against a resolution

"condemning the horrific shootings in Atlanta, Georgia on March 16th and

reaffirming the House's commitment to combating hate, bigotry, and violence against the AAPI community."

They are the worst of the worst, a veritable who's who of the most hateful, treasonous and otherwise irrational voices on the national landscape.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley reveled in his lone "no" vote in the Senate.

Most striking about the 62 House members-- overlooked in the media focus on bipartisanship -- is the high-profile nature of this rogue's gallery.

Virtually every major reprobate of the Far-Right defiantly went out of the way to make it more difficult to protect the AAPI community from acts of hatred.

Of the 62 members, 40 were among those joining as a group the disgraced and dismissed December lawsuit in Texas to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court flipped it aside.

Another 17 of the members weren't part of that legal effort because they hadn't yet taken office. These freshmen members of Congress represent 38% of the Republican class of newcomers--a chilling glimpse into the direction the party is heading.

Sixty of the 62 members voted to overturn the results,

Florida on Monday became the first state to

regulate how companies like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter moderate speech online,

by imposing fines on social media companies that permanently bar political candidates in the state.

Proud Boys intimidate Clark County Republicans. Local GOPs getting taken over by right-wing paramilitaries and street fighting thugs is going to happen at some point.

For months, Clark County Republican meetings have played host to intra-party warfare, as the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported last week. At those meetings, an insurgent group associated with the Proud Boys and other fringe-right clubs clashed with more mainstream Republicans. In recent days, elected Republican officials in the county accused some of those far-right participants of making threats and participating in a luridly antisemitic Telegram channel, while some of those same fringe characters accused the Clark County Republican Party of freezing them out and hinted that they might run for office to take over the party.


The feud is the latest flashpoint in a national battle for control of local Republican parties, some of which have openly associated with far-right paramilitary groups like the Proud Boys. Increasingly, holding an event as routine as a local party meeting is a fraught exercise.

Last week’s Review-Journal investigation accused three local men—one of them an avowed Proud Boy—of threatening elected Republicans in Clark County. Among those said to be targeted were a local judge and a school board trustee. In a meeting earlier this month, the head of the Clark County Republican Party also accused two of the men of threatening him via a FaceTime call.
