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.

Advice to Tucker Carlson (whom I still love): as Archie Bunker was wont to say, Stifle it, Edith.
