Quote of the day
Quote Of The Day, May 25, 2012
“What happened here was the accumulated karmic backlash of forty years’ worth of Establishment Democrats telling the Activist Left that they were the vanguard of, and spokesmen for, a broad American populist movement. For the longest time, such lies were simply an accepted part of the public policy debate; mostly because the country had no yardstick by which to judge the Left’s turnout and activities.“But then came the Tea Parties — which showed people what a real American populist movement looks like, and what it can do — and its success stung the Activist Left at the exact moment that Scott Walker came along and not unreasonably decided that if he was elected on a platform of doing certain things, he had best start doing them. This infuriated the Left, but not as much as the refusal of Walker and the WI GOP to go weak-kneed at the first sign of push-back. So… the recall movement was born!
“And… fizzled. The Left should have cut their losses when Prosser demonstrated that drum circles and illegal indoor camping in the Rotunda didn’t translate into votes… and they definitely should have cut their losses when the first wave of recalls didn’t live up to the hype. But they didn’t, and now the people of Wisconsin are increasingly demonstrating that they’re tired of all of this – and they’re not blaming the Republicans, either. Such a shame, but that’s what you get whe- hey! The bacon’s fully cooked.”

The comments on that article make it clear that Austin is the Boulder of Texas – an enclave of lib lunacy.
Are Perry’s Iowa ads brazen pandering to certain demos? Of course they are. That’s what ads are designed to do. However, Iowa is a peculiar place and narrowing the focus to the extent Perry has hasn’t worked.
Moreover, Perry didn’t acquit himself too well in the Huckabee Forum – a format that should have been a perfect fit for him. As it was, his language skills were terribly wanting and Cuccinelli made mincemeat of him regarding the repeal of ObamaCare via executive order. Another cringe moment. What a disappointment…
The Austin-Statesman is far to the left of any major newspaper in Louisiana.
I disagree on the Huckster Forum, Perry did far better than Newtie who outright lied and avoided answering just about every question posed to him. Most gave Perry’s answers rather good reviews.
Oh, CitizenKH, I’ve known Newt since I was a Newcomb freshman, forty-one years ago. He was my medieval history TA, so I had to listen to him, then; not so much, anymore. Snark… Saturday night, I was completely focused on Perry, so much so, perhaps I unnecessarily nit-picked. I very much wanted him to hit it out of the park, but, sadly, I don’t believe he did. Hopefully, I’m the only one to hold that thought.
