Frank Luntz cheerleads for Paul Ryan at his own "focus group" on Hannity
http://youtu.be/avP4H6p8gms

4:48 mark (after two "I agree with everything you say" comments) "Too vague and by ignoring the revenue side I think you are delusional" Luntz quickly interrupts and has everyone reset their handheld scoring devices.

Ryan gives his answer complete with airport hotel motivational speaker hand gestures and Luntz adds, "You've got it right there"

6:40 Ryan "One area we are going to go after is corporate welfare"
Luntz (affirmatively) "React please!"
People start with "Amen" and "yeah!" verbally and Luntz does nothing to stop them.

Fox News Gives Frank Luntz A Full Hour To Sell Fear and Loathing of Government

To bring on Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan and their insane plans for this country under the pretense of understanding voter anger is absurd. To bring on 18 tea party freshmen Congressmen just makes them bigger lying liars than they already are. And to cap it off with Jeb Hensarling and Rob Andrews just proves that it's not about any sincere effort to bring "government and the people" together. It's about giving Republicans free air time to sell their odious plans with Frank Luntz guiding the discussion with handheld meters of approval or disapproval. Suffice it to say, whenever a Republican opened his or her mouth, the HappyMeter went up to 100%.

2. Until the democratic party strongly embraces the ideas of the left -
They will always caught on the back foot by luntz.

Woodchucks mostly agree with luntz.
