Game Changer

There is a phrase in politics that I hate. The phrase is “game changer.” Let me give you some general examples.

 

1. The Paul Ryan budget is going to slash Medicare and this is a game changer.
2. The passage of Obamacare is a game changer in the 2012 Presidential race.
3. It will be a game changer if we raise the debt ceiling.

The fact is not everything that happens in politics is a “game changer.” Both Republicans and Democrats use stupid rhetoric to mislead and confuse the American people. I don’t want to hear politicians telling me what is and is not a “game changer.” I want politicians to tell me what they believe and why they think they are right. I’ll decide if it is a “game changer.”
