Democrats need to decode GOP speak

[mandyky]

We know privitization does not always work, especially in healthcare. Prisons and other correctional facilities haven't faired well either.

Reform means destroy or do away with. Tax reform was allowing the rich to pay less taxes. Social Security reform would have destroyed it as we know it.

Tax cuts cut the ability of the govt to work. It cuts into necessary revenue. And only Corpporations do better, not small businesses.

Their ideas of states' right allow them to take rights away from some segment of the people - whether it is women and reproductive rights, minorities and voting or equality rights, or gay couples or even gay people.

What's you favorite GOP code talk that needs shining some light and truth to?

1. "Right to Work Act" (unrepresented and at lower wages)

"Clean Air Act" (that allows more pollution)

You're right, the Dems need to point out the hypocrisy over and over again.

3. Right to work = right to fire.

Language: A Key Mechanism of Control

Newt Gingrich's 1996 GOPAC memo
As you know, one of the key points in the GOPAC tapes is that "language matters." In the video "We are a Majority," Language is listed as a key mechanism of control used by a majority party, along with Agenda, Rules, Attitude and Learning. As the tapes have been used in training sessions across the country and mailed to candidates we have heard a plaintive plea: "I wish I could speak like Newt."

7. Blame Game

I'm trying to shift my blame onto you. If you protest, you're playing a blame game. I'm not.
