    I read the beginning of the material, then the end where the 14 words are.

    This was a 2006 work that analyzed what worked and what didn't. Can you show me where it was only available to republicans when Luntz worked with people of all political ideals?

    As I review more of the material, I realize something said early on in it is key. That's why the democrats who use this books advice lose:

    says what he means and means what he says.
    Democrats say all kinds of things, but seldom mean them.

    So, they put in things democrats said too.

    The point of the writing is what works and what doesn't work in public speaking.

    You say all kinds of things, and always mean them, but they are seldom true.

    Democrats have been pushing that line for some time, haven't they.

    Better than in the OP. They were clearly on sides in the source material.

    If you went to the original do ent, instead of what the partisan site spoon fed you, you see the format like this:

    so you guys can't handle the "/" ? ok, noted.

    the article used ACCURATE/ REPUGSPEAK.

    Was that visual aid still not helpful?

    and trash talking the textual presentation is typical, rather than addressing the dihonest abuse of language

    No you idiot.

    When there are slashes in the text on one side, it needs to be separated with something else. Not a slash. They were stupid in the OP to do that, but at least they separated them with bold and normal words. You could have either done the same, or did what I did.

    Thank you B_D, this was a very good post and it didn't have any of your usual buzzwords. Coincidence? I think not.

    Just tune into The Colbert Report to watch Frank Luntz get trolled. This is pretty rudimentary psychological marketing stuff, but it works. Good for the people who use it to their advantage, so sorry for the folks too stupid to see through it.
