Dumb Voters

Frank Luntz is talking to a herd of undecided Republicans -- a focus group. A fat guy complains that "Ron Paul is certifiably insane," and whines about Republicans being characterized as "warmongering Nazis." About three-quarters of the focus group is convinced that Hillary is literally a socialist. Well, she's plenty awful, but all the leading Republicans are too. Most of the focus group wants a daddy, a leader, someone to "step-up" and make Republicans feel good about themselves again. But Republicans shouldn't feel good about themselves, not after nominating and electing George W. Bush twice.

The focus group, which can't articulate any substantial vision but just wants a Republican "leader" to stop the Democrat Hillary, symbolizes pretty well how far wrong the GOP has gone.

Frank Luntz was pimping McCain a month and a half ago, and we see where that went. Check it out:

Then here he is pimping for Romney in June:

For all I know, McCain and Romney may win the nomination. But I don't see this kind of 'off the scale' enthusiasm that he claims for either of them. And thus far, neither do the voters.
