It’s not even an option if it’s mandatory we pay for it. If the name’s up for grabs, call it what it is – a public mandate.

If we lose, it’s because we let them misname it for so long. Never ever let the opposition control the language like this! Language influences perception.

[...] Note to Nan: Every single thing government does is paid for with our public dollars. Every $500 hammer ordered by the Pentagon, every bloated bureaucrat’s salary, every “Your Stimulus At Work” road sign, every piece of tile in the Capitol’s ladies room, every blade of grass on the Washington Mall, every piece of junk mail you send to your constituents, every benefit in your Congressional benefits package, every dime you put into the bank from your salary, every trip home to your district in your Congressional jet, every flight on Air Force One, every stimulus check that’s sent to the recently deceased, every first-time home buyer’s tax credit…my God, the list is endless. Everything you do is paid for with our money. Washington D.C. is a city that would turn into a ghost town overnight if not for taxpayer dollars.The whole notion that the government is going to set up a plan to insure millions of people and administer that plan out of offices in Washington D.C. and that it won’t cost the public anything is ridiculous. It’s beyond patronizing; it’s absolutely insulting. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Every bleat that comes out of Pelosi’s mouth is an insult to people whose thoughts extend past the bumper stickers on their cars.So go ahead, Nan. Change the name. Call it the “competitive option” or the “consumer option.” You can call it “Gypsy Sun and Rainbows” if that’s really what you want. You’re not fooling anyone.Hot Air has more. [...]

The spouse and I were amusing ourselves this morning comparing the Congress to Mordor. Decided Harry Reid was either the Mouth of Sauron or a puny orc runt, take your pick, and Nancy is a winged Nazgul- whose screech inspires fear and loathing.

If they re-brand it, a lot of the people who don’t pay much attention, are likely to believe that it really is a new policy, and since it has such a nice sounding name, they will instinctively support it, until they learn more about it.

How about the "Ministry of Love" option?

The Ministry of Love enforces loyalty and love of Big Brother through fear, a repressive apparatus, and brainwashing. The Ministry of Love building has no windows and is surrounded by barbed wire entanglements, steel doors, hidden machine gun nests, and guards armed with "jointed truncheons."
