TLP to poor, elderly: Republicans will "skin you alive!" [View all]

These used to be "third-rail" issues. For those unfamiliar with the term,...

The third rail of a nation's politics is a metaphor for any issue so controversial that it is "charged" and "untouchable" to the extent that any politician or public official who dares to broach the subject will invariably suffer politically. The metaphor comes from the high-voltage third rail in some electric railway systems.
