At the height of the health care reform debate last fall, Bill Sammon, Fox News’ controversial Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing his network’s journalists not to use the phrase “public option.” Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox’s reporters should use “government option” and similar phrases — wording that a top Republican pollster […]
It finally looks like the White House is going to get out front and show America who the party of no really is: The White House is preparing late this week to aggressively go after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his GOP colleagues on financial reform. A Democratic party source said Thursday evening […]

A prominent GOP pollster thinks that may be the […]
