Reform Party: Frank Luntz

Frank Luntz: In a remarkable interview with The Atlantics Molly Ball, Luntz recently bared his troubled soul. He says he has been jarred into hopelessness by what his work has taught him about the mood of the U.S. electorate, according to The Star. Luntz is no stranger to Canadian politics. As far back as the 1980s, he worked with Preston Manning and the old Reform Party. Shortly after Stephen Harper won his first election victory in 2006, Luntz paid a call on Ottawa to speak to a conservative thinkers group called Civitas. Influential members of Harpers new government were on hand to hear Luntzs advice on how to seal and grow the newly found strength of the Conservative party and OTTAWA Frank Luntz, one of Americas leading Republican consultants, is depressed. Why should Canadians care? They were contentious and argumentative. They didnt listen to each other as they once had. They werent interested in hearing other points of view. They were divided one against the other, black vs. white, men vs. women, young vs. old, rich vs. poor. They want to impose their opinions rather than express them, is the way he describes what he saw. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
