Putting Dan Maes’ Poll Numbers in Perspective

by | 12:03 am, September 30, 2010

With Dan Maes sinking to an all-time low of 15% in the latest polling from Fox News, it’s important to put in perspective just how low these numbers are. Here are a few fun statistics from public polling on other subjects:

Maes Morphs Into McInnis

If Dan Maes’ angry declarations that he will stay in the race, constant claims that his ethical problems are non-issues, and insistence that we all need to stop focusing on his past and instead on his future plans all seems oddly familiar; that’s becau…

One of the largest question marks as we approach the August 10th primary in Colorado is just how many votes will be cast. We can get some idea of the scale of this election by examining the last major contested primary in the state as well as data f…

Critics of the Tea Party – An Analysis (Part 1)

by | 12:10 am, April 21, 2010

 

Yesterday, a post by Ari entitled "Critics of the Tea Party" appeared on PPC. The post featured two brief on-site interviews at the Denver 2010 Tax Day Rally. The first interview was with an Ali Mickelson of Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute. I decided to analyze her comments. My analysis follows.
 
1) She says that 98% of Americans have benefited from TARP. Mickelson must have a very limited time horizon. I know college students who unnecessarily ran up huge college debt. They are now stuck with crippling payments for decades to pay it off. They are experiencing pain, not benefit.
2) She refers to tax cuts. However, I am unaware of any tax cuts.
3) She refers to taxes as "tax benefits." Yet, the growth in government payroll indicates that government bureaucrats are the primary beneficiaries. One person’s benefit is another’s burden.
4) She thinks such government largesse is sound policy. Slavery is sound policy?
5) She claims to identify with the Tea Party regarding heavy taxation. So, where are the across-the-board tax cuts that cancel heavy taxation? Absent such tax cuts she is merely pretending to "mirror" Tea Party concerns.
6) So, exactly what does it mean for a tax to be accountable, transparent, and fair? By her standard, perhaps it is only fair that those sucking most at the entitlement teat be held accountable for their sucking by being required to transparently pay the most in tax. Something tells me that her "accountable, transparent, and fair" mumbo-jumbo is just Marxist code-talk for "tax the rich."
7) She sums up by claiming that the Tea Party and CFPI ideals align. Yet, I see no evidence of alignment whatsoever. Her claim is just a deceitful infiltration tactic designed to diffuse Tea Party passion.

"This mailing was prepared, published, and mailed at taxpayer expense."

As Ed Perlmutter suddenly finds himself at a cash disadvantage, he is turning to the time-honored tradition among endangered Congresscritters of franking. Nothing like gouging the taxpayer to push out some free mailings (complete with a union print sho…
