Reading the article, it's just more of the little twists in wording and labeling that the Repubs have been doing since the dawn of Newt and his "Contract" days and seen well into this campaign....gotta find that little point somewhere that we can twist, then dig at so the base gets all riled up!! I can here the Limbaugh brothers, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc, now...just harping for months on end about "welfare".
