    RedState: A vote for Democrats is ‘A Vote for President Obama.’



    A vote for Democrats is ‘A Vote for President Obama.’

    By: Moe Lane (Diary) | October 22nd, 2014 at 09:00 PM | 1

    Variants of this are going up in six states:



    Courtesy of Freedom Partners Action Fund, this is part of a $6.5 million ad buy hitting Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire (online only), and North Carolina. Which is good news, but I have to ask something: how, in God’s name, can anybody look at this and not see it as speech? Just how ignorant do the professional scaremongers of the Democratic party think that we are that we might not recognize that the ability to say This politician is a fool; do not vote for fools is the bedrock of the First Amendment? What are they scared of?

    And don’t say ‘Charles and David Koch.’ We let the Left off too easy when we pretend that they really are scared of those two particular men*. And it’s certainly not ‘corporations,’ either. Democratic and progressive groups are never shy about letting corporations say things that are pleasing to Democrats and progressives. I don’t even think that it’s speech itself: goodness knows that the Left never shuts up. Perhaps they’re just afraid that they’re wrong, and this is simply the Activist Left’s way of shouting down the little whispers of doubt inside their own heads? – It’s a theory that does at least have the virtue of simplicity.

    PS: Freedom Partners Action Fund, by the way, registered as a Super PAC specifically so that it can endorse candidates by name. …And it really does amaze me that we have to have this level of byzantine regulatory state simply to say This politician is a fool. Vote instead for this politician, who is not a fool. What part of Congress shall make no law was unclear?

    *Who are, by the way, currently funding Sixth Amendment rights: “The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers announced this week that it’s getting a “major grant” from Koch Industries Inc. to support the group’s indigent defense training programs and to study how states can do a better job of delivering legal services to the poor.” To quote someone or other, it’s all part of their insidious libertarian conspiracy to take over the world and then leave you the heck alone.

    Polling Against the President and Other Trends

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 22nd, 2014 at 11:31 PM | 1

    I spent a great deal of time on all the national polling trends against the President. More and more I’m beginning to believe something is off with a lot of state level polling.

    Tech at Night: Inside the Beltway they blame anyone but government

    All too often it’s the case that government acts, and forces corporations to behave in a certain way, but then we go and blame the corporations instead of the government that’s making them do it.

    Naturally the folks inside the beltway reacted this way tonight during the World Series game. Blame anyone but government.
    Twitchy did a good job of capturing the anger at Comcast over the civil defense test during the World Series game. But note that these tests are, in fact, a government mandate. Stations receive tests and they act on those tests.
    But DC folks blame anyone but themselves. Naturally.

    Even as a broad consensus is growing among tech experts and anyone who’s not a left-wing ideologue basically, FCC is stalling on mergers. Stall, stall, stall. It’s the Keystone Pipeline playbook.
    FCC could greatly harm competition in streaming video.
    This is why we need a strong NSA.
    I remember when I used to get told that Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA)Heritage ActionScorecard

    Rep. Anna Eshoo
    House Democrat Average See Full Scorecard 9% was a sensible Democrat moderate. They don’t exist. She’s falling hard to the left on regulating the Internet using 1930s phone rules.
    FCC “warns” politicians over robocalls. COINCIDENTALLY FCC only has a history of going after Republicans on this. Gee what a surprise.
    Under Barack Obama the patent system has gone full cronyist and Google is jumping in head-first.
    At least Orrin Hatch wants to control regulation and the trial lawyers Democrats love with respect to patents.
    Mike Rogers (the Congressman, not the NSA chief) wants Edward Snowden charged with murder.

    #GASen: Obama Knows What a Michelle Nunn Victory Would Mean

    By: Jake (Diary) | October 23rd, 2014 at 05:00 PM | 12

    The Georgia Senate race is one of the closest races this election cycle. Democrat Michelle Nunn has found herself in the complex situation faced by so many other red state Democrats this cycle of being a member of Obama’s political party while trying to get the votes of a conservative electorate greatly dissatisfied by the President’s performance in office.Thus far, the polls indicate that she has done that rather well, but Georgia voters ought to be aware of the consequences of a Nunn victory. Unlike other red state Democrats, she’s been pretty open about her association with Obama. The Washington Post‘s Dana Milbank even ran a column about her titled, “Meet the one Democrat who is not running from Obama“. In his piece, Milbank writes:
    “The president himself said, ‘make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot,’” [Republican Senate candidate David] Perdue said in a TV ad last week. As a photo of Obama with Nunn filled the screen, Perdue continued: “That’s why he wants her in the Senate.”

    It was typical of Perdue’s campaign strategy of trying to run against Obama. What was not typical was Nunn’s response: She ran a spot of her own, featuring the same photo of herself with Obama.
    “Have you seen this picture?” she asks viewers. “It’s the one David Perdue has used to try and attack me in this campaign.” As the image shifts to a photo of George H.W. Bush with his hand on her shoulder, Nunn goes on: “But what he doesn’t tell you is that it was taken at an event honoring President Bush, who I worked for as CEO of his Points of Light Foundation. Throughout my career I’ve been able to work with Republicans and Democrats, and that’s the same approach I’ll bring to the U.S. Senate.”
    Nunn, daughter of the legendary Senate Democratic centrist Sam Nunn, may yet lose the race. But she is doing far better than expected in her run despite the hostile year and terrain for Democrats. A big reason for this: She’s showing authenticity and courage at a time when both are in short supply among Democratic candidates.
    Nunn’s comfort in her own skin is in sharp contrast to other Democrats on the ballot, who are making awkward maneuvers to distance themselves from Obama and much of the Democratic Party.
    In other words, Michelle Nunn might make some awkward attempts to dodge questions about Obama’s agenda,, as she did on the question of Obamacare in a recent debate, but she is ultimately loyal to President Obama once we get past the campaign rhetoric. Milbank’s decision to single out Nunn’s ad on her picture with Obama is an obvious example of this, but there are others. We shouldn’t forget Michelle Nunn’s non-response at a Democratic Primary on the Veteran’s Affairs medical care controversy. When posed a question about the scandal, she said, “I defer to the President’s judgment” about fixing the problem, and she would not call for VA Secretary Shinseki’s resignation. As Jim Geraghty noted, Nunn is deferring to the judgment of a man who purportedly only learned about the problem through media reports.
    But the clearest indication of what a Michelle Nunn victory would mean for Georgia and America came today while Obama was being interviewed on the Atlanta radio station V-103 (103.3 WVEE) this morning. Here’s what he told morning show host Ryan Cameron:

    The Washington Times gives us the fuller context of the quote:
    Michelle Nunn will win the Senate if there’s a high turnout among Democrats,” Mr. Obama said. “If there’s low or ordinary turnout, she won’t win… If folks in Georgia vote at the same rate in the midterms as they do in the presidential election, Michelle Nunn will win.”
    The president said fewer than half of registered Georgia voters vote during the midterm elections.
    “When you think about the tradition of Georgia, when you think about Dr. King and you think about John Lewis and you think about what the civil rights movement meant in Georgia, the notion that less than half of your people vote doesn’t make any sense whatsoever,” he said.
    It’s hard for the truth to be stated any plainer that this. A vote for Michelle Nunn is a vote for Barack Obama’s agenda. The control of the Senate could hinge on the race in Georgia. This means that it’s as important as it ever was for Republicans and conservatives to get out and vote for David Perdue. Let’s get him elected and turn both houses of Congress red this November.
