Desperation 101

Today class, we will learn about what to do when your political party is in deep trouble with the voters. First, distract the voters from whatever you did to make them mad. This is a lot easier when you haven’t made them mad with almost everything you did, but it’s too late to worry about that now. Try things like: politically persecuting an opponent; persecute everyone you can who is tied to that opponent, no matter how remotely (especially good … Continue reading “Desperation 101”

Polls: Finally Getting it Right?

July 17, 2022 When they work, poll’s are a great way to get the pulse of a group of people – or a whole population. When they don’t work, you get garbage. Right now, polls probably aren’t working – well, yet. There are two ways to know if a poll is really measuring what its supposed to measure. The first is to get a much bigger poll – we call them elections. The second is to match them up against … Continue reading “Polls: Finally Getting it Right?”

2022 Edition Campaign Finance Reform

If you can’t vote in it, you can’t donate in it. What? That’s not simple enough? Okay, okay, so I’ll explain. Those of you who didn’t get to live through the 1980’s (condolences) probably don’t remember the last heyday of campaign finance reform. Back then the idea was to prevent under the table deals and big donors giving big amounts directly to little candidates in little ponds. So we enacted a bunch of legislation starting in the Seventies and ended … Continue reading “2022 Edition Campaign Finance Reform”

Confessions of a Former Democrat

The first presidential election I could vote in was 1984, Reagan v Mondale. I’m still ticked because Reagan lied and got away with it. Sure, he could have just changed his mind later but ‘revenue enhancement’ was just a fancy way of saying ‘tax increase’ so I kinda doubt it. I did not vote for Reagan. I didn’t have high hopes for Reagan, except in one category: abortion. In Fourth Grade I supported Roe V Wade as almost Solomonic in … Continue reading “Confessions of a Former Democrat”

We Have the Power!

With apologies to He-Man fans, He-Man isn’t the power, we are! The next couple of months are going to be fun in a riding a bucking horse sort of way. The Lamestream media is going to go all out to convince you, Gentle Voter, that the tide has turned and the Democrats will survive, if not reign supreme. The Establishment knows best and will take care of everything so just get all discouraged and stay home. It would be refreshing … Continue reading “We Have the Power!”

On Your Mark!

The horses are turning for home! Okay, yeah, I just mixed the metaphor. But in a way, both are correct. The real midterm race begins now. But since the horses have been galloping around for the last eight months it’s also the final few furlongs heading into the election. Either way, this is where it gets interesting. Polls are still garbage. Media polls are big piles of garbage. But to the extent that they do still work when done by … Continue reading “On Your Mark!”

Why do They Hate Trump?

Short answer: he has no leash. I don’t just mean that he can’t control himself on Twitter – which isn’t really true. He controls himself just fine. He just trolls the heck out of his opponents. Let’s face it. Donald Trump is no one’s idea of the Washingtonian presidential ideal. But it’s also no longer the Eighteenth Century, sad to say. Still, Trump’s public persona is brash and biting. It’s easy to see why he has detractors on that score. … Continue reading “Why do They Hate Trump?”

Mar-A-Largo Raid and Democrat Self Destruction

Congratulations, Democrats. You’ve taken a disastrous year and managed to make it worse. The average Democrat was already demoralized and disconnecting from your increasingly insane party. That alone pretty much ensured a massive loss in the upcoming midterms. Those who still identify as Independent are also less enthralled with the Democrats than ever before. I have been saying for a while now that the Democrat Party is heading for a total collapse. I’d already expected it to happen sometime after … Continue reading “Mar-A-Largo Raid and Democrat Self Destruction”

Sue Them! Declawing the Defamation Beast

Turning Point USA is in a fight with The View. Well, okay – who doesn’t have a bone to pick with Harpy Central? The show’s entire premise seems to be ‘see who we can tick off today’. They use slander, libel and defamation like rather blunt but effective instruments. It’s an all female train wreck of the week! I might be a bit biased. Seriously, The View gets in trouble for overstepping the bounds of decency and the law so … Continue reading “Sue Them! Declawing the Defamation Beast”

Winning Graciously

After the jumping up and down, fist bumping and squealing in delight, there comes that awkward moment of looking your losing opponent in their tear filled eyes. The poor heartbroken things are the same jerks that have been treating us like dirt literally for years. Wouldn’t a good fat lip go great with those tears? At the very least, they need their noses rubbed in it, right? One good snarky remark? Aww, come on, you’re not saying we should be … Continue reading “Winning Graciously”
