So class warfare is where they'll fight this battle?

A year from now I do think this past week will be considered Walker’s high water mark.

Every single Republican candidate will be given the “stupid” treatment based purely upon where they are in the polls.

It will be continuous statements of:

Can you believe they said ??

The completed statement will be fully rational and compelling but the media echo chamber will repeat until everyone agrees that rain does not really fall from clouds or fire does not really create heat.

Any statement will be mocked as plainly false.

We need backbone.

To quote a great American: The left will always tell us who they’re afraid of.

Hillary Clinton is this guys idea of a person who looks, sounds and acts presidential?

If so he is an idiot and not much of a man.

Well yeah, since Rush tsunamied him to faux front-runner on purpose, knowing Mitt was handing him his 20 points and donors, and is still unrepentant, yea verily giddy that ‘he did that’, Mr.-I-Don’t-Get-Involved-In-Primaries-well-except- this-one.

Wrong. The dinosaur media needs a course in truth and another in real “journalism,” not agenda or “lapdog” journalism. Stop putting out their fires, start fires on their side, they won’t know what to do.

When a writer has to ask, “are you following me?” even he knows he is incoherent.

“It was little more than a series of red-meat appetizers and entrees: Wisconsin defunded Planned Parenthood, said no to Obamacare, passed some kind of law against “frivolous” lawsuits, and moved to crack down on voter “fraud””—all of that besides, of course, his big move, busting the public-employee unions. There wasn’t a single concrete idea about addressing any of the major problems the country faces.”

Those are all among major problems the country faces.

If anyone makes any “good speeches”, they’re definitely not Tea Party, because the media would report them as stupid. Sarah Palin quoted MLK and the media laughed at it.

He might not have done him any favors. Remember when Howard Dean peaked too early? It’s still almost a year to the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary. 24 hours can be a lifetime in politics, much less a year. I’ve worked on several presidential campaigns in Iowa and organization (there are 99 counties) is key, not straw polls. No one knew who Jimmy Carter, Mike Huckabee or Barack Obama was at this stage of the game, yet they won in Iowa.

They abused her children, who are Native Americans, so I guess racism is a one-way street.

Tomasky, the obnoxious little communist formerly of the UK’s far-left Guardian, is displeased with the crop of GOP candidates.

Well, it sounds like they’re on better track than I thought.

Actually, I always thought that was a textbook example of DNC/press mind control. This is not the droid... Howard Dean is done...

And with a snap of the finger, the press all agreed he was done, and with a snap of the finger the DNC zombies never questioned it. And so it was so. I think its a textbook case.
