    Pronouns and Adverbs

    Ever noted that the media starts of Rand Paul with "Tea Party Favorite", Rand Paul? McConnell I hear last night being defined as "Conservative Activist" Mitch McConnell. McCain is referred to as Conservative bastion John McCain at times.

    Why doesn't Reid get a "Communist Party Favorite", Harry Reid? Or "Left Wing" candidate Nancy Pelosi? Or "Left Wing President", Barack Obama?

    Start noting how...especially as we creep towards November elections, the media will use a pronoun or adverb in describing candidates. When describing (R) candidates that is.

    The media uses "republican", "democratic", "independent" descriptors all the time.

    Merely (Hollywood) optics ... conservatives wear capes and founding father garb as the *Avenging Heros* (as if to dismiss themselves from their previous Bush selves) ... Bling to bedazzle you ...

    I mean who likes Dem demure sensibility ... how boring.

    Probably because Reid is not a Communist or a even a Party Favorite.... and that Obama is not "left wing".

    Next dumb question.

    Word association. Because much of the media is now under control of the left, they distract from the person and promote labelling. Note the words; Conservative, Republican, Tea Party . . . distract the sheep, encourage the gullible. ‘Change you can believe in’ worked for someone else for a long time, but it doesn’t work too well now.

    If Obama became anymore left wing he would be right up there with Stalin and Lenin. As of now he stands tall with Mussolini
