The Ulsterman Report

Excerpt:
The first sit down interview in over a month with a longtime D.C. political operative – and they don’t dissapoint.
PART ONE:
Insider: Got a bone to pick with you son.
UM: Yeah?
Insider: Oh yeah. Big time. Told you…been saying to you for a while now…you keep the heat on Obama. Don’t wander off takin’ the bait on other sh-t. Otherwise you’re wasting my time – and time is somethin’ we are in short supply of these days.
UM: All right, I’ll bite. How about you explain that?
Insider: You know what I’m talking about. Don’t play dumb now.

« Yet Another Taxpayer-Funded Vacation for Michelle Obama…
UM: I’m not playing…dumb. What’s up?
Insider: Why the Santorum article? The dogs ain’t treein’ nothin’ there. Why you fallin’ for that sh-t? You can be a damn fool – a stubborn damn fool.
UM: Thanks. Appreciate that.
Insider: Now don’t go gettin’ all hurt up about it…but for God’s sake son…you can’t go running around hopping on to every little article that comes out spreading more chaos in the primary race. It’s a put-on. You’re being played and every other one of you who are doin’ the same are being played too. The focus is Obama. Always. Focus. Focus. Focus. Stop takin’ your damn eye of the ball.
UM: The RedState story? On Santorum’s big government – his less than conservative record?
Insider: Yeah – that stupid sh-t your put up on the blog. Knock that sh-t off. Like right now. No more of it. I don’t wanna see no more of it. Obama is the target. Go after Obama and stay the f-ck outta messin’ with the other…the primary stories. At least don’t go pittin’ one candidate against the others – media doin’ enough of that. Don’t need you and everyone else like you falling right in line and doin’ the same like a bunch a braindead liberal bloggin’ fool soldiers. Focus everything – and I mean everything, on messin’ with Obama. The other stuff…the Republican primary…they are running a classic pump and dump. Been doin’ it against them for months. I warned you about it – sh-t…how long ago now? Were you not listening to me?
UM: Pump and dump? I don’t recall hearing that term.
Insider: I told you about that…pretty sure I did. Maybe it was someone else? Don’t matter…so long as you don’t keep fallin’ for it. You and everyone else who pretends they are paying attention to this stuff.
UM: What is…what is a “pump and dump”?
Insider: It’s old school politics. A political tactic. Been around since Jesus was a kid. It’s – now you remember the “McCain the Campaign” thing, right? How he was done then shot up in the polls outta nowhere. Money started pouring in. I know you gotta remember that. A political pump and dump is a version of that…it’s the version. The McCain thing was a bit of a variation but the principle is exactly the same.
UM: And what is the principle? The purpose?
Insider: Chaos. Uncertainty. Infighting. Repress the vote. You notice the stories about low voter turnout? You see that happening? That’s gotta be makin’ the Obama people very-very happy. Godd–mn Republicans are losing this thing. Idiots gonna lose this if they don’t get their sh-t together right quick now.
UM: What low turnout?
Insider: You ain’t seen those stories?
UM: No.
Insider: Well of course not. See there – that’s the kind of thing I’m talkin’ about here. You’re too busy copying the other damn fools in helping with the pump and dump. God—mit!
UM: Explain the numbers – the low turnout. What are you talking about there?
Insider: The primary votes – the turnout. They started strong…been trailing off badly more recently. People are getting…the motivation has been turned off. That’s one of the benefits of the pump and dump. Now you combine that with the bullsh-t stories on the economy and you lower the agitation in the country. And when folks ain’t pissed…the tie goes to the incumbent. That’s the end result. That’s what the Obama team is playin’ for now. The tie goes to the incumbent.
UM: What? Sorry but…I have no idea what you’re talking about right now. The tie goes to the runner?
Insider: No – the tie goes to the incumbent. All things being equal…if sh-t ain’t so bad…voters will go with the incumbent. If the other side looks all messed up…all the infighting, all the uncertainty, all the finger pointing…folks just step back across the line and vote with the incumbent. THAT is what’s happening right now. And you stupid little anti-Santorum story is playing right along with it. That’s why I’m pissed. At all of you. All of you who say you want to defeat Barack Obama…you got…you seem clueless sometimes at how easy you are gettin’ played. I read that stuff and…you just go on making my job that much harder. It’s tough enough son – under the very best possibilities this thing is gonna be tough enough…but you just wanna go and make it that much tougher.
UM: Back up just a bit – and thanks for the constant putdowns by the way. Makes this all so much more enjoyable.
Insider: I ain’t here to play nice son. You know that. You best put on your man pants and get ready, ’cause you’re in the deep end now. No backing off…you said you wanted this. So here we are. We about to rumble. You’re gonna get a front row seat in how somebody gets elected President of the United States. It ain’t pretty. This ain’t no p-ssy ride. This is the real deal here now. Right now. So if you’re worried about gettin’ your feelings hurt…sh-t…me chewin’ you out is gonna be the least of it. Hand a God son…you think a person get’s a face like this from doin’ it easy? Hell no…this thing…this ’bout to get hard. Everything up to this point…just the previews son. You’re ’bout to get the sh-t kicked outta you. Only question is…you got the spine to stand back up and hit the fu–ers back. HARD. Hit ‘em so hard they done see tomorrow coming the day before.
UM: (Laughs)
Insider: That’s right – you laugh now. You remember laughin’ now. You won’t have time for it later. And that later is just about now.
UM: Back to the pump and dump…are you saying the Santorum surge – let’s call it that…the surge was manipulated?
Insider: Yeah. That’s what I’m sayin’.
UM: Just like that? None of his support is genuine?
Insider: No…not sayin’ that. He’s got support. Real support. They all do. But to go from nothin’ to something…it was the same thing with McCain, right? I see their hands all over it…they done the same with all the others. Gingrich. Cain. The only one they didn’t touch like that…didn’t try and help was Perry. Perry scared ‘em. Perry was a threat. That is, until he took himself out of it. They didn’t need to do anything to Perry…that situation resolved itself.
UM: So the Santorum surge – just to be clear…it’s a manipulation? At least in part?
Insider: Exactly. And not to take anything away from Rick Santorum – as a candidate he’s done all right. He’s hung in there. He’s tried to line himself up for a VP spot. That’s now turned into…you can see it in his eyes now – he’s got that look that a candidate gets…starts thinkin’ maybe he can actually pull this off. Might just get himself the nomination.
UM: Ok – you say it’s being done. Explain how. How are the Obama people manipulating Santorum’s support. And why? Why are they doing that?
Insider: It’s what was done with Gingrich. Gingrich was elevated quickly, right? Then the attacks came. The media repeated over and over again how the attacks came from Romney. The negative advertising and all that. Sure…some of that was right. But what the media don’t say…and what idiots like you apparently don’t notice – is all the negative MEDIA stories that are then bounced around 24/7 to push Gingrich back down. So if you got a bunch of voters…conservative voters…they are not so keen on Romney…they’d vote for him against Obama if they had to, but they would rather have a different choice, right? Well that…that lack of enthusiasm…that’s gold for the opposition. That’s power. You can manipulate that.
This whole primary has been about that – they have done that over and over again. They have taken the voter…there’s a word for it. A lack of…support. Uncertainty…"
