Last Thursday Republican and chief pollster for John McCain's presidential campaign, Bill McInturff offered his take on why the Republicans lost, and also offers his solution for punishment for the man he says ruined everything... communications guru Frank Luntz (shown below).

Follow up:

Lets keep in mind though that Bill McInturff was saying that all the other polls were wrong, and McCain was ahead in his polls right up to the end of the Republican's failed campaign.

Bill McInturff stated the following about Republican Pollster Frank Lutz:

"I saw Frank Luntz," said McInturff, "who is a moron -- I want to make sure this is clearly on the record -- he was talking to Republican governors, making fun of John for not being able to use a BlackBerry. The man can't do it because he is much more disabled than people can imagine... I would like to take a hammer and start breaking bones in Frank's arms."

First, I think this statement pretty much covers the Campaign Republicans (and especially John McCain's) mindset, and secondly, John McCain managed to do the annoying "Quotation" marks with his fingers constantly, so I think the only thing stopping him from using a blackberry is a handicapped mind.

Of course, Bill McInturff stated the usual Republican excuses for their devastating loss, such as the market meltdown, McCain's age compared to Barak Obama's, and the massive amount of money donated to Obama's campaign. All of these whining excuses of course boil down to the Republicans make all the wrong choices in the last eight years right up to their loss in the election.

Of interest is his statement that the GOP also lost the Hispanic vote due to the Obama campaign's targeted ads about McCain's flipflopping on the issue of immigration and McCain's shared views with the drug addict, Russ Limbaugh.

"If the other team has 700 million and they are spending five times as much on Spanish language media saying that crap," he said, "it has an effect."

I guess this means that if the Republicans had more money to spread their "crap", then they could have changed the minds of the thinking people that didn't vote for their old, angry Presidential candidate. Not!
