the ability to compel a vote or favor in the political arena as a result of a previously extended favor which debt is thus repaid
An example of political capital is the ability of a chairman of a committee to garner a members vote by reminding the member of the favor of letting the member have a hearing on a bill which bill was important to the member but which bill is of no intrest to the chairman

Get the political capital mug.the socially accepted attitude that it's OK to be racist as long as your skin doesn't have a hue of white.
Black Man: "get outta my way you stupid Cracker"
White man: "yes Mr. African American, I accept your politically correct racism and bigotry because of the hate my "ancestors" put upon you, and therefore will get out of your way."

Get the politically correct racism mug.When John McCain and the GOP launched their ‘America First’ campaign in 2008, it soon became painfully obvious that it was nothing more than a campaign slogan with the ‘demographic over qualifications’ pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate. Within a matter of days it became evident that Palin had no concept of what the vice president’s job entailed, no insight to the political arena beyond the “Leaving Wasilla” road sign in south-central Alaska and was very poorly read.
Palin cost McCain the election and was snubbed by the Republican Party. So what’s a pitbull in lipstick to do? Write a book, quit your job, pack up the Governor’s Mansion, and hit the road to stir the ‘Real Americans’ into a psychotic frenzy by promising them a way to ‘Take Back America.’
Two years later, through a politically cruel twist of fate for the GOP, Sarah Palin, along with such pseudo celebrities as Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, now commands the largest contingent of misfits in the history of American politics – The Tea Party – and they’re splitting the Republican Party right down the middle.

Although the Tea Party doesn’t yet have the numbers to win seats in the big elections, they do have the numbers to take votes away from the other candidates so they can’t win them either – and where are most of these votes coming from? The Republican Party. How’s that for Political Karma?

Get the Political Karma mug.An individual or entity hired by an interest group to influence public opinion towards some desired end, esp. one with no ideological investment in that particular end as a cause or issue (i.e. acting purely out of financial interest). Political contractors are often expert propagandists, who seek to denature existing language in order to discredit or tarnish its users (typically the opposition).
Krystal, despite her anti-corporatist beliefs, has been a willing political contractor for several multimedia outlets that receive high levels of corporate funding.

Get the political contractor mug.An essentially meaningless but politically coded term used to reflexively discredit meaningful discussion of race, gender, sexuality, and class, without substantively engaging in the debate.

-While doing this they simultaneously tried to take away your 2nd amendment rights while letting criminal mafia types and gangs have them.And they did all of this while flooding your country with illegal aliens so as to firmly undermine your country's sovereignty.They made ethnic minorities killing eachother into a fad (see racist).

Liberals disguise their racism as loving tolerance and desire for equality by using political correctness to deceive us and brainwash us.Democrats and Republicans both suck and they both just lie to us and brainwash us in order to get us to go along with their plan for a new world order.Their racism should sound and alarm.
