"Sort of captures their essence..."

Particularly the rapacious, slithering Killery, IMHO.

[it seems to me that if a message MUST be deliviered in some kind of slick packaging, one can assume the orator believes there is either something wrong with the message or something wrong with the intended audience.]



The second one.

The Democrats believe to the core of their being that 98% of this country is made up of boobs and simpletons who can't figure out out to make it from birth to death on their own, and the only way to keep this country limping along is for the Democrats to convince all of us of the benefits of voting them into power so they can implement their benevolent government plans.

oh, sure. you know that, I know that, the Dim L33tz know that... but now they have handed themselves over to us bound and gagged with this "framing" nonsense.
their bias, one way or the other, stands irrevocably exposed. all that remains is for this fact to be clearly enunciated in the public's arena.

The Democrats are the Party Of Death. No amount of Lackoff-inspired "framing" can conceal the fact the party is pushing for euthanasia measures in a number of states, including California. Its not how the Democrats say it that explains why they're in trouble; its WHAT they say that's made them a minority party today. DUH.

oy! what did rattlers ever do to you? a warning placard concerning ticks and leeches would be more accurate.

"a warning placard concerning ticks and leeches would be more accurate."

If I had such a placard, I would definitely have posted it. In the absence of same, I therefore offer this!
