FRAMING THE DEBATE: something the repugs do very well.

they don't even have to be rational, relevant or truthful.

yet, time after time, they frame the debate, and the M$M and even the elected dems fall for it, every time.

I was really hoping after this election we would not let them get away with this crap.
