Political Discourse

[lollardfish]

One of the many things that frustrate me is how good the right wing as coming up with phrases, then repeating them constantly as if they were true. For example, "cut and run" wasn't nasty enough, so now all Republicans (and I do mean all in the sense of from all of the country and in all branches of the federal government) are calling the Murtha Democrats "retreat and defeat" Dems. I've been playing with the Republican language and seeing what can be turned around, with only moderate success.

"Stay the course" Republicans are "broken rudder" Republicans.

Oh. That's very very good.

But perhaps too smart for the masses. Really really good though.
