Frank Luntz strategy report

[housewolf]

DailyKos has the files...

This zipped file contains two PDF files -- scans of a 160-page briefing book by Frank Luntz on the lessons learned from 2004 as the GOP seeks to extend its winning streak in 2006.

Haven't read and processed it all yet. I thought I'd give you guys an early look at it. It's a virtual smogasboard for fans of language framing, and a great "preview of coming attractions".

This ought to be "required reading" for all interested in the art of framing the issues, as well as those curious about how "they" do it.

1. Hey, does anyone here know anyone at the IRS?

I think Ol' Frank needs to be audited.

Can you imagine the lame excuses he would come up with to try to hid the fact that he's cheating on his taxes?

5. Um, I think that's the point. Too bad he wasn't born a Democrat.

6. Ostriches

Some prefer to ignore or wish these people away. I always say hold your loved one close, hold your enemies closer...know them, especially when they're studying you. I guess this message isn't being heard, yet.

Thanks for the links...yes, must reading for what was done in 2004. I just wonder if Luntz is stunting for RoveCo. about 2006.

9. I agree, Frank Luntz is a MAJOR problem

You should see this Frontline show: "The Persuaders"

If you have limited time, make sure to check out parts 5 and 6.
This show is where I first learned about Frank Luntz. This show let's you see behind the curtain and how much a lying scumbag this guy (and *) is.

7. LMAO!! WORDS THAT WORK: EDUCTATION & INNOVATION

WORDS THAT WORK: EDUCTATION & INNOVATION

"There is no question that without quality education, we may loose the innovation that leads to full employment. When you look at the new careers, they're coming from new technology. They're coming from the most innovative fields. They're inventing new products, new services, a better quality of life. They're doing things differently - and better than its ever been done before....

wow.

8. That's such a weird quote, I have to ask...

...do you think that was a typo (meant lose), or do you think he is actually against Full Employment?:crazy:
