When Republicans Tell The Truth…
[su_right_ad]… they get punished. Michael Luciano at The Daily Banter brings us the story of one Liz Mair:
One day after being hired by Gov. Scott Walker’s (R-Wisc.) super PAC to advise on social media strategies, Liz Mair has resigned. Her friend Erick Erickson, however, says there’s no way she would’ve resigned, and, “So instead of Walker owning this, he’s passed the ball and made a staffer off herself.” At issue is a pair of tweets Mair sent in January (well before she was hired by Walker) that cast certain Iowa Republicans in a less than favorable light.
After Iowa Rep. Steve King’s certifiably insane Iowa Freedom Summit, Mair tweeted,
In other news, I see Iowa is once again embarrassing itself, and the GOP, this morning. Thanks, guys.

A minute later she followed up with,
The sooner we remove Iowa's frontrunning status, the better off American politics and policy will be.

Mair is more socially liberal than most of her fellow conservatives, so like any reasonable person, she was no doubt alarmed at the verbal feces flying around the Freedom Summit, which featured Sarah Palin having a stroke at the podium for 35 minutes. But more than this, Mair’s second tweet alluding to the Iowa Caucuses is dead-on, especially as they pertain to her own party.
Of course, anyone with half a cerebral cortex already knows the Iowa Caucus is a charade to placate the ethanol racket and the most regressive social elements in our nation. But if you are ties to the Party of Reagan in any way, you’d better not be caught saying it!

Both of the tweets appear to be the same.

So that’s the point?
Carla Akins March 18th, 2015 at 9:07 pm
No, my apologies. I originally misread your statement. I was only intending to say her tweet made sense – I had missed the duplicated tweet.

Carla Akins March 18th, 2015 at 9:56 pm
