Uncle Jeff’s idiots guide for idiot voters…

The Reagan Republicans, who are neither remotely Reganesque, nor Republican, have released their idiots guide for voters, (aka endorsements) as in “Vote for these guys because your an idiot and it will keep Jeff Ward off the welfare lines!”

So now it’s official, the Sheriff’s race comes down to…. John Green vs. Jeff Ward (Sorry Ben, everyone knows you’re a Democrat!) If Green wins, bye bye, Strategery.

Why would Uncle Jeff pick the least qualified horse to back in this race?  Well, I guess Keith had the 5K to pony up (pun intended) for Jeff to saddle up…

Note to Keith…think before you speak…if you lose, you still gotta work dude! (Remember, you’re young and you’ve already lost two horse races…what were you saying about Green losing something? Don’t be a pot…or a kettle!),,,Hey, didn’t Spencer use that line today?

Ad Hominem Ad Nauseum (a ridicula imitatio)

By IFRR President Jeff Ward

One of the benefits of being a “debate nerd” in high school was that, early on, I learned the rules of rhetoric and specifically the “ad hominem fallacy.”   The “ad hominem fallacy” occurs when someone argues that an idea is invalid by personally attacking the proponent, as in “against the person.”  It is a fallacy because truth is not dependent on the speaker. Because Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, or Timothy McVeigh said “the sky is blue” does not negate the fact the sky was indeed blue.  Politics is full of ad hominem attacks and last week it was a favorite here in Kootenai County. I must say that I did a fantastic job of deploying the ad hominum fallacy to effectively save three campaigns from collapse. It would have been expensive as  I would likely have had to refund the campaign management fees paid by our clients! Always remember we must carefully guard the fact that Ron Lahr  and I own Strategery – not that that is a conflict of interest (wink).
