No way is it the same. The rats thing was picking at style and making a stupid accusation. The X is a layered effect. One was intentional, the other was supposedly an accident. I plan on grilling my husband about the specifics whenever I get a chance. He would know whether the accident claim is valid or not. But I know enough to say that it is not the same thing as the rats case at all. There was nothing subliminal. RATS was the end of the word democrats. Though I must that the Dems for pointing it out to me. I've switched from Dems to 'rats ever since.
In the commercial it was at the end of "bureaucrats" not "democrats."
It was the end of the word "Bureaucrats", something both parties are.
They're DemonRATs to me.
