Words Are Important, or Why Democrats Don't Want You to Use the Phrase "Government Run Health Care"

Politicians well know that the words used to describe something will change public perception. This is why pro-abortion supporters like the "choice" word and both Dems and Republicans call reductions in increases "cuts."

Now, we have Democrats insisting on the language used to describe Obamacare.

Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) made public last week an e-mail from the Franking Commission -- a bipartisan panel that oversees messages from lawmakers -- asking him to change the phrase “government run” health care to "public option."

Because "public option" does a better job of hiding what they want to do.
