22. I just hate to have their side shaping the framing, and then we just go along with it.

I think it's a mistake EVER to go along with what they're doing because it will supposedly blunt the effect. I'm not sure it does. And I don't EVER use "Obamacare." Unless I adjust it to "Obama Cares."

There's no way in HELL that I personally will EVER use one of their names for us as OUR name for us. However, I will call them republi-CONS as long as I want to - because I believe in the whole taste-of-their-own-medicine, see-how-they-like-it response. Bully the bullies back. And because all they offer is a CON JOB.

Labels count. It's stupid. But they do.
