WA****NGTON (Reuters) -- Democrats accused Republicans Saturday of using
"doublespeak" and abusing their power in order to help special interest
groups.
....
Reid accused Republicans of using "doublespeak" to sell their agenda.
"When they wanted to let energy companies release more pollution into the
air, they called it the 'Clear Skies Initiative,"' he said. "When they
wanted to let loggers cut down more trees and weaken environmental laws,
they called it the 'Healthy Forests Initiative.'
"My favorite Republican doublespeak is when they wanted to give tax breaks
to their special interest friends even though it meant adding more than
$50
billion to our deficit, they called their effort the 'Deficit Reduction
Act,"' he said.
