Poll question: Has the GOP successfully co-opted the word "stimulus?"
First the GOP-controlled media delayed the naming of the recession for a year, then they named the bailout, now they're calling public works programs "pork."

Today I hear some ass on Tweety's show claim the GOP has a "stimulus" plan.

Have they co-opted the word "stimulus" for their scheme?

5. LOL!
You so nailed them!

They know it's important, so they know they must steal it.

Yet, they have no idea what it means!

Good observation!

6. It is hard for them.
To the GOP "stimulus" sounds a little dirty, and they can't get past it.

That's what I think.
