More student loan forgiveness, gas slightly lower somehow, increasing social security and lowering some drug prices. Will anyone care how these vote buying maneuvers will be paid for?

Tucker doubled down again tonight (two nights in a row now) on his meme that crime should be the most important issue for Pubs to address rather than inflation (even though in virtually all polls taken the public says inflation is their number one concern).

Tucker then slams Pubs, in particular Doctor Oz in the critical state of PA for his Ad in a supermarket showing the inflationary prices of food, as not being the proper priority (crime) as decided by Tucker. Sticking it to Pubs right before the Mid-Terms by Tucker is to say the least, a bad move on his part and if the Pubs lose, Tucker will indeed get that which he protests against, a socialist dictatorship:

Read my prior post on other threads below:

I posted this on another thread regarding Ohio voters and issues; it fits here too (it’s about Tucker Carlson also):

“When it comes to the issues Ohioans believe are most important, “Half of Ohio voters (50%) think the economy, including jobs, inflation, and taxes, is the most important issue facing Ohio, followed by abortion access (12%), healthcare (10%), crime (8%), and education (8%),” according to the poll.”

This puts the lie to what Tucker Carlson was saying tonight (thus irritating the heck out of me) about how immigration and crime are the two issues most upsetting to voters. Or they should be according to him.

He knocked Republicans about how they are arguing issues for the Mid-Term elections when I maintain he is as wrong as can be. The most important issue of all remains inflation and the price of gasoline as shown in the stats above. This inflation issue affects folks every day of their lives, visibly.

Immigration and crime doesn’t slap all of them up against the face as frequently as does the price of food and transportation every single day. Tucker knocked Doctor Oz’s commercial with him in the supermarket picking out veggies and saying how expensive they have become. Oz is right for highlighting this; Tucker made fun of Oz and was very wrong to do so.

Tucker at heart is a Libertarian, and periodically it comes out in his commentary big-time. This was one of those times, and it is really bugging me as he has been doing this lately, slamming the Pubs for “technique” right as the elections approach. Whatever issue(s) Tucker thinks are most important to the people, his tearing down the Pubs at this point in time rather than going after the Dems tooth and tong is wrong.

This is not the time to so vocally take issue with the Pub Party, whatever their warts, unless Tucker (and all of us) want to make it a much more fertile ground for the Dems to score points and do better at the polling booths. Tucker should keep his Libertarian trap shut at this point in time, rather than helping to bring on the very election results he purports to want to prevent, namely the Dems remaining in power.

Stuff it Tucker until after the elections with your Pub negativity, not before. The continuous desire of Libertarians to want to have heir third party win elections any time soon is a wet dream. Don’t help the Dems win by damping down the enthusiasm of the voters with logic and rationalism on their side, by muddying the waters with negative and unnecessary slamming of the only Party that will save conservatives and all of us from the jaws of doom.

And I’m tired of having talk show hosts pounce on each biased, slanted to the Dems polls that turn up with great regularity now. The MSM will churn out many polls from this point on up until the elections, that will show bogus election numbers and thus show an alleged close tightening of the race between Pubs and Dems. They do this every election cycle.

The MSM will show the numbers tightening to a neck and neck tie or show the Dems leading (all phony and concocted by how the polls weight the numbers and slant the poll questions). Yet Tucker seized on one poll’s set of poll results, while still relatively early in the election cycle before voters actually focus on the races in their states, to make up his commentary du jour. Thus getting in his obligatory slam against Pubs that seizes him periodically, probably to show how even handed he is being politically or to push his Libertarian bent upon us.

And another thing, stop pushing the Pubs to make wild promises about how they are going to radically change things when they get back in power until after the mid-terms. Steve Miller was pushing this on Tucker’s show tonight, along with Tucker. Biden will still be President, sitting there with his veto pen, ability to make rules and regulations, and to institute border policy. We still will have trouble making large changes in policies while Biden’s regime is still in control of the Executive branch of gov’t. Then the people will turn on Pubs for not being able to carry through on all of their agenda.

The Pubs can’t make false promises about all that they will do if they win, if they won’t be able to accomplish all of their agenda once in office. False claims will just make them look ineffective and thus bad to the public for over-promising. And if the Pubs threaten to shut down the gov’t fiscally in order to achieve their goals when in control of one or both Houses of Congress, we all know how that turns out. The Media goes into high gear, Pubs are blamed for any financial repercussions that may ensue, whether true or not, and once again we are the ogres. It is a fine line that the Pubs must walk right now verbally, and Tucker yapping from the sidelines against them is not helping here at all.

“And Oz is not spending any of his own money on his race. He doesn’t believe he can win. he complains about fetterman not having to spend money on his primary election. what a doofus.”

Oz HAS been spending his own money too; you don’t know what you are talking about. And he has been campaigning all over the state of PA trying to get the word out. The RNC hasn’t been helping him much at all with money, and the Pub Oz haters won’t help either.

Oz is being vastly outspent by out-of-towner Libs funding Fetterman, an outright Commie socialist. If Oz loses, and thus we could lose the Senate because of it, it will primarily be the result of the lousy backing of his own Pub Party and those individual Pubs that would rather see Oz a Cardiologist whose career has been to save lives, go down, lose the state of PA, and have a blatant Commie/Socialist who has lived off his family’s money, win the Senate position.

Republicans eat their own.

‘Republicans eat their own’

And that’s exactly what Tucker has been saying!

The problem with Repubs is, they see a bad poll, they panic, they give up.

If they all get out and vote, we will win. Dems know this about us which is why they put out horror-polls.

Of course, there is the cheating aspect. We should learn to cheat like they do.

With all the bad effects of bad policies coming down the pike, only a sociopath would want to be in charge?

If the GOP directs its efforts properly, it will eke out a small majority in the House. The Senate ain’t happenin’ this time around.

The GOP/RNC isn’t putting any money behind non RINOs. I guess that includes Trump by way of contract. All I hear is record breaking contributions to Trump yet some of these candidates can’t afford TV ads. Guess the GOP/RNC machine is sucking up that money and only handing it out to Mitch’s RINO types.

Start with closing the border...

Move on to legislation to stop putting criminal back on the street.

Oz can show you how to shop for ingredients for Crudités, even if he doesn't get the name right of the PA grocery store that he's in.

2022 will be an election repeat of 2020 - same characters, similar methods.

Result will be screaming conservatives ... again. Smiling Democrats ... again. Media will touting the fairest election ever ... again. Conservatives claiming just wait until the next election ... again.

There will be no need for an election in 2026 or 2028.

The GOP is directing its efforts toward causes it cares about, not ones people care about, and so will lose once again.

If the democrats hold the House and Senate in an honest election, then Wisdom, in Proverbs 1:24 - 26, has a message:

“But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you.”
