Some campaign tips for Republicans - letter by Tom Noble

My comments below. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes.
-------------
Tom Noble writes: Stop thinking of yourselves as the only people in the country who work for a living; you’re not. Don’t try to win elections through voter suppression, it’s illegal, and it only worked once (2000). Don’t employ the incredibly cynical tactic of changing parties in an attempt to confuse and coerce the electorate (Mike Comstock).

Don’t compare immigrants to farm animals. Don’t try to tell women how their bodies work. If you’re a federal judge, you shouldn’t email racist cartoons of the president. Stop trying to “quick fix” our economy by inventing bogus financial products. Stop trying to give away our publicly owned resources to corporations.

Try reading something other than “Atlas Shrugged,” and getting your news somewhere other than Fox. If you do, you may discover that you’re not quite as smart as you think you are. Remember, ignorance and arrogance go hand in hand.

An old adage in business management is: “lead, follow, or get out of the way.” You’ve bungled your chance to lead, and if you don’t want to follow, you’ll find yourselves out of the way. You’re a lot closer to irrelevance than you might think.

Contained in this letter is just about every leftist bumper sticker slogan there is, presented to us in a fashion that suggests that the author is providing self-evident truth. Mr. Noble, a Leftist, offers suggestions to IMPROVE the republican party? Why, so that republicans might improve their chances of winning? Really? Let's analyze a few of his claims.


1) Stop thinking of yourselves as the only people in the country who work for a living; you’re not. This remark obviously comes from the controversy surrounding the video of Romney explaining his election strategy regarding tax cuts would not resonate with the 47% who do not pay taxes. The meaning has since morphed to Romney doesn't care about the 47% to Romney thinks the 47% are lazy to this latest incarnation: The 47% don't work for a living. But of course, no republican has ever suggested that they are the only people who work for a living, so the entire premise of Mr. Noble's remark is nonsense. 


2) Don’t try to win elections through voter suppression, it’s illegal, and it only worked once (2000). This provides some insight into how the leftist mind works. Presumably Mr. Noble is referring to voter ID requirements. I discussed this in terms of the constitutional requirement that only citizens may vote. So unless Mr. Noble wants to claim that the constitution suppresses the vote, we should be quite comfortable with ID requirements. 

As far as it working once, well, we know that the 2000 Florida debacle was decided properly and fairly. Indeed, every follow-up count by journalists, whether invoking hanging chads, dented chads, or missing chads, ad nauseum, every newspaper media and outlet found that Bush won.

But while the fake issue of voter suppression is the issue de jour of the Left, they simultaneously pooh-pooh voter fraud allegations by the right. Probably because of the rich tradition of the voter fraud by them. Yet they quickly and unanimously proclaim "there is no evidence of voter fraud" when confronted with the accusation, summarily dismissing it. Yet time after time there is evidence of military absentee ballots being ignored or delivered late, dead people voting, and even in some voting districts, more votes being cast than there are registered voters in the district. And the latest news that in Pennsylvania there were zero votes for Romney in several precincts. 

3) Don’t employ the incredibly cynical tactic of changing parties in an attempt to confuse and coerce the electorate (Mike Comstock).  One thing you can be sure of, when a Leftist accuses someone of something, that very thing is happening on their side with regularity (see here and here).

4) Don’t compare immigrants to farm animals. Yeah, um, an unsupported assertion that I could not find on the internet. Given the author's track record up to this point, I doubt he could prove it either.

5) Don’t try to tell women how their bodies work. Probably a reference to the infamous statement by the obscure Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock. He made the fatal mistake in asserting that life has value, even a life conceived as a result of rape. Of course feminists can't have that, since asserting the value of such a life is anathema to them. People who were born as a product of rape might have a different idea, however. 

6) If you’re a federal judge, you shouldn’t email racist cartoons of the president. The Left's hypocrisy on racism is astonishing. Does anyone remember this cartoon?


I doubt many people have seen this hateful video, since the complicit media seldom gets their panties in a twist about things that violate their narrative:



Mr. Noble continues on and blathers about more things, but I have grown weary of chasing down his dreamworld narrative. Suffice to say, tossing out a bunch of unreferenced allegations invariably results in egg on one's face. Mr. Noble, you need a towel.
