I have talked,bitched,, and told Mrs. Koz this same thing, but haven't posted because I didn't know how to word it. You did perfectly. Im so,so,so, and even, so tired of "our" side being comfortable with the R talking points and key words. Entitlements is common now, even though they are far from. Even the Dem Senators on Judicial Committee used the word "investigation" when it was far from it. I could go on and on, but I know Im preaching to the choir.
I just wish we would find a way to refuse to make their "key words" become mainstream, we do it over and over again.

Way past time to call a lie, a lie, not an alternate truth!
