— Ace Who's extreme, now?
As Allah said (I think): But we need follow-up driving home the point that the left holds 70% of the voters in not mere contempt, but in gleeful contempt, rejoicing in their disdain.
And as he also said the Democrats will be the cosponsors of our messaging on that.
Correction! Duh, it's the NRSC, the Senate committee, not the NRCC (the House)... which should have been obvious to me because all they show are Senate candidates. Thanks to Pedant and Fallen Sparrow for the correction.

Strictly speaking, it's actually the NRSC.
Even so, it would appear the comments sent back to them on their donation requests is finally sinking into those mushy spines.

The ad's only possibly influenced audience is Democrats, who might viral-ize it to rouse their sleepy vote-hordes to stop the Dark Rising Tide Of Teatards or some shit.
The ad is right. Its point is one I make all the time. But, so?
Posted by: oblig. at August 18, 2010 07:34 PM (x7Ao8)
I say, reward them a bit for this. If you donated in the past, maybe a small donation now would get the point across that they should act this way, instead of fucking with our primaries.
On the other hand, donating to tight races that others might not be... that's also a good idea.

Remember, even as the Democrats were winning in 2006 and 2008, they could never beat some of the candidates they truly despised in swing districts like Michele Bachmann. If we can not only defeat them, but also their false idols, then we can do away with the nonsense that they only needed to go further Left.

Although most Americans' attention span is about ten seconds, so if this is on TV all they'll see before they change the channel is the MFM talking about 'extreme Republicans'.
This is a complaint about the electorate, not the ad.

Yeah, agreed. Hope they take this theme, turn it into 30 second TV spots, and customize it for every Senate race.

OK, not so much funny as sad, but this is a great ad anyway.
It's very important that Crist be identifies and attacked by the Republican party at large, to demonstrate to the masses that he is not one of us. That he left us. He's free to do so, but it's dishonorable and should be well known.

The Dem strategy here is to split the Republican vote, I'm sure they've promised Christ a nice cushy job if Meek wins. That's why the Republicans have to turn the strategy around on them; cast Crist off, paint him as a Dem, and split their vote. Good strategy in my opinion.

What I see happening is the polls showing massive voter discontent with the Dems right up until a few weeks before the election.
At that point the commies will wake up and say "Hey, I'm a commie, even if I hate these turds I must still vote for them".
What will make the difference is the usual, he who controls turnout, controls the election.
Last time the commies were hot with a "black candidate" who energized blacks of all stripes to vote, as well as the liberal elite. Meanwhile the Republican offering was a tired old RINO who disdained actual campaigning and who was known for sticking his thumb in the eyes of the base. The Republican turnout was shit.
This time the roles are reversed, at least for this fall.

The West Wing is on notice.
NRO by Robert Costa
If Republicans win the House this fall, Rep. Darrell Issa will wield the majorityÂ’s sharpest investigative tool: the subpoena pen.
“Cabinet officers, assistant secretaries, directors — I will be able to take on everybody that the president hires and relies upon; the people who tell him that everything is fine,” pledges Issa, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, in an interview with National Review Online.
Prodding Democrats for answers, of course, has brought him both notoriety and enemies. The New York Times, for example, calls him President Obama’s “Annoyer-in-Chief.” Issa shrugs off Democrats’ displeasure. In fact, he says that he enjoys tangling with the administration and its flacks. But subpoena power, he notes, will make a “big difference” between annoying the administration and “holding its feet to the fire.”

The Morning news rant begins:
Enviros fight S.C. tests of engineered eucalyptus
Environmentalists are challenging the plans of a S.C.-based biotechnology firm to grow genetically engineered eucalyptus trees in the South, saying the fast-growing Australian species could spread uncontrollably.
I am afraid that this is one time I will have to agree with the eco-idiots. Every damn large introduction of non-native plants we have had in the South has resulted in disaster. The most famous example of this is freakin Kudzu. Once that crap is established it is virtually impossible to get rid of and it grows uncontrollably. It will literally swallow your house.
Eucalyptus trees are a disaster waiting to happen anyway. It hasnÂ’t been long since Australia had uncontrolled fires that leveled entire towns. It is like a plant version of gasoline, so what could go wrong with that in SC forests eh? According to the article it also sucks water out of the ground at a prodigious rate.
Personally I am sick of people bringing in non-native species of plants and animals and releasing them when they find that their plans “gang aft agley”. Yes this is an idea who time has not come.

My much older sister, who thinks she's a moderate, launched into a didactic outline about how the "extremists" are the problem. She hates Obama and what he has done to the economy/healthcare but also worries about "right wing extremism". I've determined that what she means by "right wing extremism" is Christianity.
If you listen to the libtards and replace "extremism" with "Christian" that's what they are saying. They can't say the word "christian" because many african americans, hispanics, and libtard catholics are christian.
So instead they have created this false premise where there exists a group of wild eyed "extremists". If you notice the attacks on Palin as being an extremist all come under the realm of her christianity.

Yes, I know. And what he posted was not conciliatory or pandering or an attempt to placate. He posted an explanation.
Her retort today is offensive as she is now trying to turn this into a gender battle, when really it is a pop culture battle. She's a dowdy aging professor, out of touch with pop culture. In her addendum today she postures herself as giving advice to "guys" about their Star Wars references... great, wise, blonde woman tries to mother guys about their sex lives. Well, fuck that, Althouse. You were royally slapped down by your women commentators as well as being teased by the men.
This isn't men vs women. And if it were, Althouse is not the one representing my "side."

They still have the race card, which they'll play again when this "extreme" theme fails. But yeah, in general, namecalling is all they have, since the voters don't like The Dems' actual, you know, policies and stuff.

One of the most heartening developments of the past two years has been the air seeping out of the Left's racial tactics. The race card just doesn't work much anymore. I guess it's harder to induce reflexive shame among Americans who just elected a black man to the most powerful post in the world.
I am concerned about the 'policy' angle. I may not like Obama's policies, but he's pretty much doing what he said he would as a candidate. That the same independents who voted for him/his policies are leaving him now seems to be more a result of the overall economy and not his policies. (You could argue that voters didn't really appreciate what 'health care reform' meant in practice, I suppose.)
So, if the economy improves, and the GOP acts like the unprincipled boobs of 2000-2006, the Left and its policies will survive.

Now get another one ready for the rotation with the snippets of Democrats/Progressives saying how they don't read the Constitution, that they don't care what the Constitution says, that government can do whatever it wants (which is to say an anti-Constitutional voice), and that reading bills - even thousand page bills that rework entire segments of government at the Federal level - before they vote is silly.

No, he's not. He's doing what he told his liberal base he would do back in the Democratic primaries, but they all winked and nudged each other when he ran as a "centrist" and a "bipartisan" and a "uniter." They understood Obama was saying what he had to in order to get elected. There's lots of that footage, too.

We've got a great opportunity here. We've chucked the Crists and Specters; the Snowes and McCains are on notice. Be proud conservatives for once, and follow through.
