Excerpt:
" ... Republicans really need to stop using the word “liberal”. This isn’t like how the Sears Tower was renamed the “Willis Tower” but I refuse to call it anything but the Sears Tower, because the Left purposefully insists people call them “liberals” because that word has been focus-group tested over decades and the American public does not have a bad reaction to it. If you say the word “Leftist” to an average person, they shudder and immediately conjure negative images of the Leftist you are talking about. Call a Democrat a “liberal” and YOU might know that’s a bad thing, but the average man-on-the-street thinks that means the person is “open-minded”. Republicans consistently rail against “liberals” and wonder why so many so-called independents tune them out…well, dummies, it’s because independents don’t have a bad perception of the word “liberal”. They, in fact, use that word when asking for a lot of something good…like a “liberal helping” of pepperoni pizza or “liberally pouring” more Waffle-Flavored Vodka into their drink. If Republicans truly wanted to change some minds out there and get people to listen to just how bad the political Left is in this country, everyone should exclusively use the word “Leftist” as the polar opposite of “Conservative”.
