"Speaking Democrat:" A Primer

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), House Republican Policy Chairman, recently took to the House floor to translate Democrat speech for the rest of America - “Speaking Democrat: A Primer.” In the interest of legislative process, we hear many speeches on the floor, many members talk to their constituents; I'm going to try to bring a bit of enlightenment to this process . . . We're going to learn how to speak Democrat:

“Speaking Democrat:” A Primer

(i.e. Walking the Party Plank)

Statement: “As a progressive party, Democrats will bring you change by using government to enhance revenues from the rich to invest in the production of energy and green collar jobs; and by using diplomacy to engage America’s enemies and end the Iraq War.”

Translation: “As a regressive party, Democrats will bring you the 1970s by using socialism to raise taxes from you to waste in the production of lethargy and unemployment; and by using magic to appease America’s enemies and lose the Iraq War.”
