Good question. I think when we’re dealing with them we enter an Orwellian world of double-speak where up is down, black is white, etc. I forget the author’s name but several years ago he wrote a book called “Doublespeak.” It was sort of a parody on how language as used in politics has become almost meaningless. I remember he cited Alan Greenspan as an example. In one example, Greenspan appeared before Congress and spoke at great length. All who heard him were utterly confused - not because of any technical economic jargon - but because Greenspan literally “invented” an unintelligible way of communicating.

Funny no one mentions George Soros-funding of John McCain’s Reform Institute...

Of course, Soros likes McCain for his anti-American/pro-illegal alien position

No matter which of the DNC or RNC candidate you vote for...they take Soros money.
