I'm sick of the mainstream media using phrases like "the Democrats were quick to jump on it...", and "the Democrats quickly countered with..." These kinds of phrases imply, subtly, that the Democrats are not an active political entity, but, rather, a passive bunch who only reacts. I see and hear this type of phrase constantly in the press and I'm really sick of it.
okay that's my rant for the day

Never. How 'bout "The Democrats don't offer any alternatives..."

2. Worse. They're marginalizing whatever the Dems have to say. |

After all, it's not like someone got up and spoke truth to power. No -- it's just the Dems trying to get their way. Nothing to see here...
