Something I posted a week or so ago in another thread gave me the idea for this thread.
If we are to effectively represent the Conservative point of view, we have to understand what the liberal left is saying. The translations listed here might help. In the interest of saving space, I'll show what the liberal left says in Blue and what they really mean in Republican Red. Here we go:
Bipartisan : Vote with us so we can spread the blame around.
Cooperate : Do it our way.
At least agree on this minor point : Endorse our entire position.
Debate : Listen to us tell you how it's going to be.
Obstructionism : Disagreement with the liberal point of view.
Let me make this perfectly clear : I don't believe it but I expect you to swallow it.
Organized Astroturf disruption : What grandma does.
Spontaneous democratic expressions of support : What ACORN and the SEIU do (when requested and paid for).
Please feel free to add to this list.
