Frank Luntz’ Words that Work at work with the Socialists in power

Recognizing the unpopularity of the 2009 [stimulus] package, however, Democratic leaders have revised their message with less loaded language–“job creation” instead of “[CENSORED]” and “Make it in America” in lieu of “Recovery Act”–in hopes of tackling the jobs crisis.  James Taranto/WSJ

The “[CENSORED]” word is stimulus.  Do read the whole column. It’s very interesting and in fact, email it to friends and family. They need to read exactly what the Obama regime and his minions in Congress are trying to do to us, because we are obviously too stupid to really know what they are up to.

Just like it is no longer TAX, it’s now REVENUE, Pelosi and company have changed the words, to hide the meaning.  Just change the word(ing) and they can pull the wool over our eyes.

uh huh.  Are you fooled? Are you still fooled?

If so, then you ARE a fool!


The Doorbell. Something to ponder.

From the powerline blog:


Presidential Timbre


Is this the October Surprise? Harry, I think you are sunk!

Don’t tell me that the Majority Leader of the United States Senate had no idea about this story.

One of his staffers is investigated by the FBI and Reid was not appraised of this situation?

yea and I’m a Chinese astronaut, too.


Can you think of anything scarier than this?

Well, aside from an Obama second term?

Another self admitted “progressive” on the Supreme Court.

It really doesn’t sound all that far-fetched after you read the opinion piece from The Daily Beast:


Last week, ABC News reported: “Lawyers for President Obama have been working behind the scenes to prepare for the possibility of one, and maybe two Supreme Court vacancies this spring. Court watchers believe two of the more liberal members of the court, Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, could decide to step aside for reasons of age and health. That would give the president his second and third chance to shape his legacy on the Supreme Court.”


Some have suggested Hillary play musical chairs with Joe Biden in a second term. Biden actually wanted to be secretary of State more than he wanted to be vice president. So, he’d probably be game. The problem with this scenario is that in terms of power and influence, the veep slot would be step down for Hillary. And Team Obama never liked the idea of giving Bill Clinton entrée to meddle around the familiar old 18 acres.  On the other hand, the surest route to a party nomination is to launch your candidacy from the cat bird’s seat of the vice presidency.

But if in the end if it’s about what is realistic, and how Hillary could have the greatest impact on society, most would agree she could have the greatest political influence by hanging around for a couple of decades casting votes and writing opinions on the Supreme Court.

… why would Obama consider her?

One possibility: legacy. As popular as Obama is, and as many votes as he received in 2008, he still stepped over Clinton to get to the throne.  And a lot of woman haven’t forgotten or forgiven. In one stroke, he would eliminate any remaining bad feelings and would become a Hillaryland hero.

Stripping away the drama, the politics and psychobabble, she’d be a great choice for Obama and the Democrats.  She’s as smart and as qualified as any prospect her party could nominate.

It takes a Village to get on the Supreme Court?
