My daughter the Republican

My daughter might just be a Republican, because she is proving ot be a master at reframing an issue to her advantage.

Republicans have managed to change the focus of discussion on the economy from their cause (the financial crisis and a lack of regulation) to public sector employees and their pensions. Now, it seems almost as if they are asserting that public sector employees cause this economic downturn wityh their pensions. We are all arguing as to whether pensions should be cutr and collective bargaining ended, and no one even mentions wall street.

My daughter has managed to change the discussion from whether they are treating the cat in the right way, to whether the cat is scary and should be hidden from and yelled at. She has her brother, who used to run at the cat and want to cuddle it, shrinking in horror when it comes in the room. I should start now grooming her for a job with the RNC. She has some work to do though. She is way to cute and not nearly menacing enough and makes a little too much sense, but there's time. Plus, who knows, the Reepublican party might have returned to a national dialogue by then.
