Politics has turned me into a vegetarian

Is it just me, or is this year's political "go-to" word - RED MEAT - getting on anybody else's nerve. Seriously, where did mud sling, dirt, or just plain ole trash talk go? It seems like every time there is an important event, a new phrase is created and WAY over used. Maybe it's been used before, but not like this. On the way to meet our N.C. delegates this morning, I was listening to CNN on the radio and I think I heard Soledad and the guests she was interviewing say RED MEAT about 30 times. They were referring to Gov. Sarah Palin's speech last night and how rough it was on Obama and the race for the White House. So, every time they mentioned Obama's lack of executive experience they said something like, "Gov. Palin and the RED MEAT" or "Her RED MEAT tactics" ... blah blah blah. Next time pundits, just state what it is...it's just good ole, never fail ya, always by your side, trash talk.

In fact, I don't think I will ever use this phrase unless I am referring to actual RED MEAT.
