Even Rasmussen shows Walker's position to be unpopular. Does the caller intend to shut them down, too?<br /><br />While the second caller concisely summarises the current Republican 'philosophy' quite accurately, he seems to lack the cognition skills required to see the difference between polling and enacting legislation. He does offer a policy solution, however: line up all of the "liberals" and have them shot. <br /><br />Sadly, this seems to be the crude form of the current Republican agenda. It is not about jobs, or the deficit, or even "socialism". <br />It is, instead, the "Big Shut-Up": beat up the Left, silence anyone who does not offer up enthusiastic approval, and threaten their jobs.<br /><br />We've gone from "dissent is treason", to "dissent is patriotic", to "dissenters should be shot" in the space of six years.Todd Dugdale https://www.blogger.com/profile/17584727904734922884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-51063960597956071412011-03-08T22:11:41.255-05:002011-03-08T22:11:41.255-05:00From the looks of the first one, it looks like som...From the looks of the first one, it looks like someones going to try to set you up with a scheme to catch you helping an 'underage prostitute' receive birth control.<br /><br />The second one, its just LOL.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317546270947815760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-61507638407810485172011-03-08T17:00:35.100-05:002011-03-08T17:00:35.100-05:00Tom i think you have a great little outfit here.

I don't buy all of Rasmussen's polling and think there is bias in it sometimes, but I certainly would never call them up and leave threatening, hateful messages. It was really laughable that the first nut was calling you hateful just for releasing polling he didn't like, how delusional is that?Shadrachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965038383419768045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-17332422204515475172011-03-08T13:20:23.922-05:002011-03-08T13:20:23.922-05:00The first one is far scarier than the second one b...The first one is far scarier than the second one because it doesn't sound completely unhinged. The latter was made by a guy that sounds like he has had a few too many cold ones.
