Secret Tape: Top GOP Consultant Luntz Calls Limbaugh "Problematic"

Mother Jones ^ | April 25, 2013 | David Corn

“top” Only in the minds of liberals.

[Jim Robinson]

Frank Luntz is a raving idiot!!

[Sarah Barracuda]

I dont know where these goofballs got the notion that Frank Luntz is a Republican..he is NOT..he is a Libertarian

[txrefugee]

And why would we care what Luntz thinks? He is tied with Zogby for the “Worst Pollster Award.”

[Cincinatus]

Luntz is personally annoying as hell and his idiotic “focus grouping” is revolting in the extreme, but the author of this piece David Corn and his magazine “Mother Jones” are leftist pieces of excrement.

[Jack Hydrazine]

See my tag line!

[C. Edmund Wright]

Actually, he’s just a wind driven moderate....no where close to conservative or libertarian.

[Steamburg]

Perhaps, anything from Mother Commie Jones is problematic when they cherry pick. Al Jazeera has a better reputation with the truth than Ma Jones.

This is not to say that Luntz is any pillar of truth himself.
There are liars, damned liars, bold damned liars, politicians and then there are statisticians.

[freedomfiter2]

He’s not saying anything that The Rove, Bush, Romney, McCain wing of the GOP doesn’t think. They are all the enemies of conservatives.

[taildragger]

From the wonder kid to tell Newt you are going to be the new speaker, gosh how far we have fallen... Makes me think he never was a conservative to begin with, Republican maybe, numbers and focus group wonk for sure.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

partly responsible for the stark polarization within the nation's political discourse.

They don't want Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin et al to polarize the country. They want the conservatives to march, lock-step, with the rest of the sheeple, on the road to socialism.

[longtermmemmory]

Remember Luntz is the idiot who did not “get it” when Obama was called a socialist from a member of his hand picked focus group.

Luntz, after that, excluded views he did not support.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Actually, he’s just a wind driven moderate....no where close to conservative or libertarian.”

I agree.

[taildragger]

"Luntz hasn't been shy about pointing out the Republican Party's problems. In January, he wrote a Washington Post op-ed contending that Republicans have dug themselves deep into an image hole. ("Just saying 'no' to the president has its limits.") Regarding immigration, he observed, "Hispanic voters don't think Republicans like, welcome or respect them. So how can they vote Republican? Immigration reform that brings people out of the shadows is the last, best opportunity for the party to reset its broken relationship with Hispanics."

Really Frank?

No to dig themselves out of a hole how about passing a House Immigration Bill dramatically different than the Senate and send it to them for Reconciliation. Put it back in their Court...Nah, even our leaderships to gelded to even think of that one...

[Girlene]

What a putz.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I think he’s become a prisoner of the numbers, and has totally lost his way on how to interpret them. Polls and especially focus groups - by design - cannot really measure the effectiveness of a message over time. Luntz can’t figure this out.

[chainsaw]

This must be a California nut job right wing imposter.

[muawiyah]

They’re all worst pollsters these days.

[Timber Rattler]

He replied that he had something important to say on this matter but was apprehensive about speaking openly; doing so, he explained, could land him in trouble. Members of the audience groaned; some called out for Luntz to continue off the record. Luntz asked if anyone was recording the event, and Eric Kaplan, a reporter from the college paper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, indicated that he was. Luntz requested that he turn off his recording device. Kaplan did so and agreed that this part of Luntz's talk would remain off the record.

GOP-E coward.
