can't distinguish between actual honest reporting and frank luntz is poll tested right wing message we saw this on clear israel last week and the entire news media jumped on president obama and so called cilantro gate the media suggested that the white house cut an ill advised five hundred million dollars check to the solar company saranda which eventually went bankrupt in exchange for campaign contributions. but. they did go bankrupt for the campaign contributions they cut the check that was the argument even jon stewart fell for the media's narrative. so does the failure of one company discredit the entire idea of a green energy economy of course you bought. if in let's say one thousand thirty six you spoke about the growing importance of air travel in front of i don't know the. you write about the future of air. which you. are. but now is think progress one of the last bastions of investigative journalism has uncovered the slander alone had more of bush's fingerprints on it than obama's it was bush who created the long program and spent two years urging the department of energy to a

let's hope the rest of the gang of twelve get the message to the bad but frank luntz republican pollster who was brought us poll tested terms like a government option to describe the public option job creators to describe billionaires is now trying to rewrite history on nine eleven. yes it allows us to look back and say we haven't been hit yes allows us to appreciate george bush and dick cheney for keeping us safe but in the end it reminds us that we are vulnerable and that hurts our confidence. is once you realize that bush and cheney didn't keep us safe but they dropped the ball and as a result nearly three thousand americans were killed i could most of his poll tested lies launce knows that all us using heated enough times and sure enough some people will come to believe it and the very very ugly. term for all the rest of the rest of us were remembering the victims of nine eleven yesterday bob turner the republican running to fill congressman anthony weiner's vacant congressional seat new york city is exploiting nine eleven for political purposes his campaign sent out flyers to voters

take a listen to frank luntz's pollster group and what they had to say about mitt romney's performance in particular, watch this. >> perry was such a waffler and he looked presidential. >> i thought he was reaganesque, he spoke with great specificity. >> he gave specific answers, i thought he was confident. >> i peroto i thought perry was too defensive, he spent too much time fighting with romney instead of talking about policy. >> i'm concerned about what he did with health care in massachusetts, but he did say that one of his first things out the gate would be to repeal omabacare, and so that made me feel better about where he stood on the issue. >> we're looking for accountability and he has said i made mistakes and am willing to take responsibility for them and this is what i would have different differently. this is what i want in a president. martha: it's always fascinate to go hear what peoples' immediate responses are to the candidates like that and frank luntz said he felt that it was romney's best showing to date so it's stacking up to be a positive night for mitt romney. bil

according to frank luntz, his product can focus group nearly turned their dials off the axles at the have a heart line from rick perry. the most hated line of the night by any candidate and republican focus group's most hated line of all the republican debates so far. have a heart. no. maybe that's the mood we're in right now. both president obama and vice president biden have been commenting in recent days about members of the audience at republican debates doing stuff like booing a gay soldier in iraq, applauding a high number of executions in texas and cheering for letting uninsured people die without getting needed medical care. maybe that is the mood the republican electorate is in now for electing their candidate. maybe chris christie's style fits that mood. contrast that with president obama getting called the antichrist by a heckler last night in los angeles. nothing specific here about the antichrist heckle. what's specific and perhaps nationally important is the spectacularly un-chris christie way in which the president responded to the guy screaming at him that he's the an

. >> senator santorum -- >> fox news pollster frank luntz who conducted a focus group with republican voters during the debate said, perry's defense of the texas dream act, which allows children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates, if they graduate a texas high school and are accepted in a state university provoked, quote, the most negative reaction i've seen any republican candidate have among republican primary voters. only in the twilight zone did this presidential politics 2011 style, only in that twilight zone could we see a man be cheered for proudly presiding over the executions of 234 people and then see that same man booed by the same crowd, booed because that champion of death by execution called his worshippers heartless. campaigns for presidential nominations are sometimes called fights for the soul of the republican party, fights for the soul of the democratic party. no one has used that phrase this time around. for two reasons. first, because no candidate fits perfectly into the current shape of republican orthodoxy and secondly, the republican party of t

[laughter] i thought that he had a number of very positive, very effective lines. i thought the hectoring of congress, pass this now, we got the point after the fifth time he said it. i think he said it too often. there's language in there that was very positive, and he challenged the republicans in a way that probably backed them up by talking about expanding tax cuts and expanding some of the breaks that hard working tack payers were given -- taxpayers were given. so all in all, i actually thought it was more favorable than my focus group respondents thought it was. megyn: interesting. we see the dials and the realtime reaction which is very valuable as opposed to when they go through and read how everybody else thinks and can then they decide. one of the dials we're going to show is on mr. obama's claim that we need to refo

a lot of people in frank luntz' group thought he won that debate. he got bogged down with statements about muslims in his cabinet, all sorts of things. he has another chance now to get some more money. his spokeswoman told mow over the weekend that he had had the best 48 hour period of fundraising that he ever had. get more money, do some commercials do more traveling and try to follow-up this time on his victory and this good performance in this debate this orlando. megyn: those assuming that herrmann cain could not win they may be receasing that notion today. he's the man of the hour, herman cain, and he will join me live today at 2:15pm eastern time to talk about the big win, the gop field and what is next for his white house campaign. well, new jersey governor chris christie hitting the campaign trail as talk is happening as to whether he will join this race. seven big republican donors are pushing the government for him to reconsider his decision and enter the primary. sources close to christie say the bid is off the page. he is headlining the
