Is the GOP-controlled media trying to start some new "meme" ... |
|
... by pushing the prevalence of "blue dog" Dems?
I've seen several stories in today's paper about "liberal" Democrats and "moderate" blue dogs.
Anyone else suspicious about the media's coverage of Democrats?

7. Problem is that these doggies are quite viscious and rabid right now |
|
So there is truly a grain or two of truth in this.

11. The idea behind using the word "moderate" is not to describe where to place them ... |
|
... on the political spectrum, it's to use as a contrast to the "liberal irrationality." "Moderate" is being used to mean "reasonable."
It's all propaganda by the insurance companies I suspect.
