The Luntz Lexicon

Luntz is nearly correct. All pols seems to speak newspeak with some legislative-speak cloned in. Pub pols need to take on 4 issues for the voter. They need to use Contract lingo with no doublespeak. Those issues, while hard, need to be expressed by the entire Pub ticket, House and Senate candidates. a. We are facing a worldwide enemy in Islamofascism that must be defeated or we will lose our entire civilization.. b. We must cut government expenses, cut taxes and cut back on entitlements by fixing SS and Medicare without hurting present day seniors. Here is how. c. We must improve education without the PC baggage that keeps competition alive, keeps intellectual research unhampered by PC conditions. d. We must provide every free enterprise condition which will improve every worker and new enterprise without so many regulations. They can do this but will they is the question. Democrats always use touchy feely lingo which fools voters one more time . Yet note, they never tell voters exactly what positions they will follow when in power. They cover it up with nice lingo which tell us to feel good and have hope and just trust this so we can help you. Pubs must communicate clearly the 4 or some other groupings of those choices and make no points which confuse voters. If this doesn't work, our nation is in much more trouble than any analyst could possibly guess!
