BREAKING NEWS: Sasse Campaign Manager Doesn't Know Meaning of the Word ‘Positive’
Time for somebody to go back to elementary school
OMAHA, Ne - In an interview with Nebraska Watchdog, Tyler Grassmeyer, told the news site that "Ben [Sasse] has crisscrossed Nebraska, running his campaign the Nebraska way, with a positive conservative message."
So what is a positive conservative message you ask?
Grassmeyer continued: "Everywhere Ben goes, his anti-Obamacare, anti-establishment message is resonating with Nebraska voters."
Got that? A positive conservative message these days is an anti message.
Let's check with the dictionary real quick on the definition of 'anti' just to make sure it hasn't changed:
preposition
opposed to; against.
adjective
opposed.
noun
a person opposed to a particular policy, activity, or idea.
Hmmm. Well maybe the definition of 'positive' has changed. Let's check:
adjective
constructive in intention or attitude.
showing optimism and confidence.
noun
a good, affirmative, or constructive quality or attribute.
Well, looks like 'anti' is still the opposite of 'positive' no matter how it gets used in a sentence.
Of course it could just be that what defines the Republican Party is what they stand in opposition to and not what they stand in support of. Oh right, they're no longer the party of ideas (of course we wouldn't give the Democrats that much credit either).
