1. Great commentary

I don't know that progressives can succesfully do what is being discuss by David

[tins0404]

2. "Pro-abortion' and "tax relief" are 2 perfect examples

Of why the GOP even get ANY votes.

3. The repukes are pros at message framing. The Dems are not even amateurs yet...sadly.

And the Dems have had George Lakoff preaching at them for decades...and they are STILL ignoring his words..

5. Howard Dean gets it.

I've seen him reset the framing on media questions immediately more than once.

6. And the repukes destroyed him...with the media being complicit.

The current admin did nothing to help him...

7. He's still a Dem leader

albeit without official portfolio right now. Just saying there's one who gets it.

9. There's been a long tradition of candidate using the wrong word and getting dumped:

Edwin Muskie, George Romney, Dan Quayle ..... its not just Dems.

4. abortion nuts

Call the anti-choice brigade of fools "Pro-Government", or if you have the space "Pro Government Control" people.

8. death taxes, death panels, Obama-care. They certainly get ahead of us.

I think the answer is to use the correct terms: anti abortion, inheritance tax, insurance company death panels (sorry, at least its accurate), national health care.
