I think this speaks for most of us here on D.U.

32. Elected Republicans and GOP mouthpieces are masters at the diction they use

to convince Americans to vote for their narrow, regressive agenda. Most of them are probably aware of how out of touch and cruel their party's agenda is, but they just want to convince enough people to support them so they can keep dodging taxes and sending their money overseas. A major way they do this is the diction they use for whatever they want to sell to the public, or whatever they oppose. Some classic examples I can think of include "out of control spending", "economic freedom", "traditional marriage", "religious freedom", "job creators", "government-run health care", "terrorists", "radical socialism", "welfare queens", "anchor babies", and saying "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party". They know that there are a handful of Americans who obviously lack critical thinking skills and cannot see through the BS, therefore, they take advantage of it.
