ANOTHER BILBRAY ATTACK BOOMERANGS ON HER
The problem with playing the high-and-mighty card comes when
you’re guilty of the exact same thing you accuse someone else of (he writes
ending a sentence with a preposition).
Such is the case with the following tweet from Democrat
congressional candidate Erin
Bilbray-without-the-Kohn on Tuesday afternoon…
A friend just called. Someone is out there with a horrible push poll against me. It is time to end mean spirited partisan politics.
My Twitter response…
erinbilbray: You mean like when you called your opponent, Dr. Joe Heck, an Army doctor w/2 tours in Iraq, "un-American"?
Punching holes in this embarrassing campaign’s messaging is
like, as my friend George Harris
puts it, shooting fishsticks in the freezer.
It’s almost too easy. For
example, here’s the campaign’s latest lame fundraising pitch…
“Our race is getting even hotter. Joe Heck has made an ad buy close to $200k to distract voters from his Tea Party extremism and dismal record in Congress. We’re officially 50 days from Election Day and we’ve got to double our own airtime to get the REAL story out. Can Erin count on you to chip in now?”
How is a race that most campaign professionals and prognosticators
have now all but written off “getting even hotter”? I mean, doesn’t it have to at least be warm…or
even room temperature…first?
And who, other than the 12-year-old who’s writing this flapdoodle,
actually thinks Dr. Joe Heck is a “Tea Party extremist”? I mean, can’t we get “REAL”?
That said, boy, oh boy, do I hope Democrats on Erin’s email
pitch-list chip in BIG. After all, as the saying goes, a fool and his money are
soon parted. And every dime foolishly
going to the Bilbray-without-the-Kohn race is a dime not going somewhere else
where the money might actually do some good.
So come on, Democrats.
Give ‘til it hurts to your champion and #1 draft pick for the 2014
campaign season. Erin! Erin!
MUTH’S TRUTHS
--> The Denver Post is reporting that Republican gubernatorial
candidate Bob Beauprez is leading Democrat
incumbent Gov. John Hickenlooper by
ten points in a new Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters, 50-40%.
I first met Bob in 2000 when he was chairman of the Colorado
Republican Party. I was driving back to
Las Vegas in my RV from the GOP national convention is Philadelphia, stopping
in a different city every couple of days to conduct a campaign training seminar
for candidates and activists. Chairman
Beauprez had, by far, the biggest turnout of any stop I made.
Let’s hope they’re all engaged in this race to help turn
Colorado red!
--> Despite Nevada’s last-in-the-nation crappy schools, Tesla is
coming to Nevada. And despite our crappy
schools, Apple came to Nevada. And
despite our crappy schools, IKEA is coming to Nevada. So explain to me again how businesses won’t
locate in Nevada because of our crappy government-run schools?
Hey, here’s a radical idea: Suppose Nevada offered universal
school vouchers so that the employees of any company that located here could
send their kids to the school of THEIR choice, not the government’s
choice. Do you think that might spur
economic development and business relocations?
--> So the Clark County Commission has banned walking on Strip
sidewalks while carrying a glass bottle of Coke. Or a glass bottle of cough syrup. Or a glass bottle of beer. However, you can still carry a PLASTIC bottle
of Coke, cough syrup or beer. So this is
nothing short of container discrimination.
Seriously though, this is yet another example of punishing
the many for the actions of a few. What
should be unlawful is littering, not carry a glass container – and it is. So what we should be doing is enforcing our
existing littering ordinances, not creating yet another means for police
officers to stop and harass individuals who are doing nothing but carrying a
glass container.
