Frank, this is the most powerful:

About 90% of people shot in the head do not survive, David Langer says.

What is known is that a 9 mm bullet fired point-blank at the left rear of her head passed through the brain and exited the left front of her head near her left eye.

That part of the brain controls vision, language, and the ability to move the right side of the body.

So what has changed in the 4 years since the BUST of the Great American Post War Prosperity Boom? Mr Luntz merely confirms what one postulated would happen at the time and that is that, "Americans have gone from being anxious about their futures to be depressed, despairing and are concerned about their own survival." Welcome to the new reality, and more is about to come.

Changing circumstances take place one day at a time, and are hardly noticable unless one is paying attention. It is like the frog in water that is gradually rising in temperature, until before the frog knows it, the frog is cooked. In the case of America the change has been in the works since the late 1960's, coming home to roost in 2008. Since then America has entered into a new era of American and or world history where a new equilibrium is in the process of being established. In other words the old order is in its death throws and a new order is yet to be established and then realized.

"PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAY, BUT, THEY DO REMEMBER HOW YOU MAKE THEM FEEL." (FRANK LUTZ, paraphrase mine)

Only Bill Clinton's speech left me feeling upbeat and optimistic among all the many excellent speeches made at the DNC. Like many Americans, I am stressed, distressed, and anxious about the direction of our country and about this election. I do not remember any speech made at the RNC that left me feeling upbeat, and there were many excellent speeches at the RNC, especially that of Condoleeza Rice, who at least genuinely stirred my patriotism.

At least in terms of tone, the only inspiration this election year comes from Bill Clinton.

it's like in one sense i feel bad for you but in another sense you had zero concern for what i was going through and what happened - it's like somebody else's life was just a joke to you and a way for you to get money (a source for your stupid awful records string them along for 3 1/2 years while they die with no chance of return) just kill somebody for greed - trust in pigs liars scum - your like that fat woman in australia - nobody asked for money just asked for you to show have the maybe the slightest concern just to find out it's all bullish*t

Frank Luntz's findings on center right economics and liberal social beliefs show the that future of the Republican party lies in a libertarian platform.

I don't see how he can use his Bain experience to any advantage. With the exception of Steel Dynamics, most of Bain's successes were with firms like Staples, in which low-wage store personnel dispense products made oversees, and most of the companies it closed were those in which well paid workers actually made real products. Bain, for the most part, is a symbol of the hollowing out of the American economy and Obama is not about to let anyone forget that. The one point on which the Obama campaign has been maddeningly timid is that Bain does not represent real capitalism, as Adam Smith defined it. Its business model takes advantage of loopholes in corporate and bankruptcy law to guarantee that even Bain's failures are paid-for by those to whom the target firms owe money: banks, bondholders, pensioners and customers. Bain's reason for existing is to benefit from a legal form of credit fraud; any other "successes" are just window dressing. The Republican party has fully embraced this form of pseudo-capitalism while the Democrats (including Obama) have been utterly spineless on the subject. If Mitt wants to be an attractive candidate, his MA gubernatorial record would be a fine place to start if it didn't contradict much of what he's said since he started running for President and his record on the Olympics, so far, looks like an unquestioned success. The last thing he should be touting is Bain.

Charlie, Frank Lutz is correct. The coffin ad may change history:

As a foreigner (north of border), I and I hazard a majority of Canadians see Obama (re-elected) or Romney elected BUT the nation a LOSER. Why? Simple. Neither can survive without the Wall Street banksters and the insane Super PACS of the billionaire oligarchs. America, the conventions are for the lobbyists, donours, party hacks and media done up in Hollywood style and NOT for the citizens to better understand the issues at play.

That people misinterpret what is said to them is certainly NOT an original thought, and I wish guests, themselves, would stop misinterpreting an appearance on this show as an opportunity to make a sales pitch.

But on this subject, it is obvious that the parties talk past each other, each having developed a "narrative" about things. The Republicans feel they "built it," but the Democrats are equally sure they are steadily overcoming repression, and that no one but they really understand them.

It's fairly commonly observed that Republicans want smaller and less intrusive government in the economic sphere, but are paradoxically willing to control social behavior, while, on the other hand Democrats want to see govt's fingers in everything but their hair. This is because the Republicans are basically legatees of "Calvinism," while the Dems' find their ancestry in the "Ancien Regime," neither being "Liberal" or libertarian.

Romney Republicans feel Obama has humiliated the "nation," despite killing various shades of ppl right and left, and they want to see a restoration of America-uber-Alles, and I mean that just as it sounds. Democrats (some masquerading as Republicans) are more interested in largess, (which is how they define equal opportunity), that is, aside from the color of Michelle's nail polish.

I would argue regarding misinterpretation as well, that while people may want govt to work, that doesn't necessarily mean they want the kind of govts we've seen from either of these.
