On OWS and the Democratic Party

[nadinbrzezinski]

89. So a frame used by Rush Limbaugh is NOW a democratic frame?

That be news to me... and I am sure a few in the party elite.

Now you are, by your own admission a blue dog. I respect that. I also understand that MANY blue dogs are former republicans, not that you are or not, it matters little. What matters is that many left the RNC and went to the DNC, this is a provable fact, since the RNC went crazee.

But that does not mean Blue Dogs are ascendant, or at least ascendant in certain regions of the country. Yes, some regions, where you live that might be the case, are more "conservative" than others. I use quotation marks since I have found that most people really do not know the meanings of the words any more... and that goes for conservative, liberal, communist, socialist, fascist... any ism. That is another discussion and it is not the people's fault, but forty years of propaganda.

But members of one party joining another is part of the process on how parties and coalitions change. And now that is starting to be pulled away from the "conservative" side to the "Liberal side"

But you may want to be careful about NOT using Rush Limbaugh's frames... or at least when I see them, I will call you on it. Mostly these frames are damaging, and I am sure you do not realize why. But they are part of a forty year propaganda campaign against the middle, and I will add, working classes.
