Just weird.
Hard to blame him when you look back on and remember, remember the 6th of November.
I can get depressed over what Obama is doing to the country, but not so much the electoral politics that got him elected. The most charismatic candidate has always won the presidential election in my lifetime. The Republicans made the mistake of nominating the wrong candidate. Nothing any political consultant or slogan writer could say or do could make Romney into something he is not. You can’t put ketchup on a turd and make a meal out of it.
I never cared much for Luntz or his worthless focus group segments.
bump
He reminds me of the Pillsbury Doughboy.
“’The old Frank Luntz was sure he could invent slogans to sell the righteous conservative path of personal responsibility and free markets to anyone ... The new Frank Luntz fears that is no longer the case, and it’s driving him crazy.’
“Against folly, the Gods themselves contend in vain.”-—Wm. Shakespeare
Wait... Luntz says he is a conservative ... and he wants to work in... Hollyweird??
That makes no sense.
I thought his focus groups were great. That being said Luntz’s problem is that he always drew the wrong conclusion from them. IMHO
He was, what about me?!?
THAT day, Nov 6th, was my BIRTHDAY!!!!!
So it’s your fault. I finally know who to blame.
Geez, Buck up Frank.
I dont blame Luntz at all. I realized that we live in Idiocracy, where people just want their pot, Obamaphones, and condoms.
Going to the dark side...maybe his wig’s too tight or the fumes from the glue have gotten to him.
The other problem is that a political slogan isn’t going to do much to counteract decades of brainwashing by Hollywood productions and schools.
Perhaps him going to Hollywood could be a good move if he plans to get more movies made that give conservatism a voice.
Luntz, for conservatives is a cognitive linguist like Lakoff for the left. It’s hard to admit you’re losing the battle.
REad this book review carefully and note the never changing pattern.
The Disuniting of America, by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

To warn against the dissolution of our common national ideals and our common culture holds little threat for people who claim, however speciously, that they never shared those ideals and were never part of that culture.
One of the most pernicious effects of multiculturalism has been to destroy the linguistic ground necessary to debate it. For such a debate would have to invoke terms like “we” and “commonality.” Yet multiculturalists, aided by the sophisticated deconstructive efforts of literary theorists like Stanley Fish and Barbara Herrnstein Smith, reject any such appeal to an American “we” as an act of imperialist violence. The only language that remains is that of an increasingly narrow “us” versus an increasingly alien “them.” This is the language of civil war.
Not at all.
He should have been depressed right after the Republican primaries. Because with both parties fielding presidential contenders backing the affordable care act the state of affairs we now have was already locked in.
It’s depressing to know your lifes work is meaningless.. worthless..
Unless you don’t really care anyway...
My thoughts exactly - after the primaries, it was just a no-win scenario.
