Luntz: Feels Sorry For Moderates

November 08, 2009 1:24 PM

GOP Pollster Frank Luntz said he feels sorry for moderates in the Senate like Evan Bayh (D-IN), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) because those Senators are “going to have to face some very difficult votes” on healthcare, which he said is unpopular in their states. 

Brazile clearly disagreed: "You know there are the same Democrats who support the same tax cuts that put five trillion dollars on the Federal books and I'm sorry," she said.

Will moderates survive the healthcare debate?

American voters are too self absorbed to remember next November how they got screwed this one. They will vote for the best personality, which doomed Hoffman in NY23.

I thought thought Luntz and Will had very tepid arguments and comments - and I think they thought so, too.

The Republican Party needs to wake up if they don't want to disappear.

Luntz doesn't really feel bad for Evan Bayh (D-IN), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) what's he doing by saying this, is to freak them out. Yes they may have a tough time getting re-elected if they for for this health Bill, but they are certain of losing re-election if they don't pass this bill.

Typical GOP thug tactics, letting the moderates know that they are officially On Notice to become extreme or face the wrath of the party's true leader, Rush Gasbag.

Luntz needs to feel sorry for the American people,the way the Liberal Democrats have disregarded their opinion on Health Care and the new entitlements and the new taxes which the Dems are promoting.
In 2010 and 2012 the Democrats will pay for pushing their Socialist agenda.
