The Senate Republican Policy Committee, headed up by Sen. John Ensign, welcomed Frank Luntz — a famous GOP pollster — yesterday afternoon at a meeting about health care.
POLITICO reported yesterday that Luntz is aiding the GOP-ers on this topic — he also wrote a confidential 26-page report for them on the issue. But some Republicans are still miffed about Luntz’s recent addition to his client list: Democrats. “Somebody didn’t get the memo that Frank is no longer hitting for our side!” scoffed a high-level Senate aide.
Ensign spokesman Tory Mazzola told us, “Sen. Ensign, like Frank Luntz, is bipartisan. No party has a lock on good ideas, which is why Sen. Ensign is looking at many different solutions. Luntz has valuable information to offer Republicans as we put together health care reform that encourages wellness, ensures access and improves quality of care. It’s not about what Luntz says; it’s about what senators hear. We’re bringing in a wordsmith to help contrast our health reform plan with the government takeover pushed by the Democrats. All the Democrats’ rationed-care plan needs is a ‘Line forms here’ sign.”
