the political fighting style in which an opponent's energy and position is used against them with an emphasis on throwing out baseless claims in the press, immobilizing their funds and selectively applying the principles of balance (eliminating it), leverage (from back room deals), and momentum (from relentless lobbying) and as a last resort, putting important decisions on hold until the next session.
Judging by all of the legislation that congress has voted on in his favor, HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle is a master of political jujitsu.

Get the PoliticalMJ mug.by SeattleRose July 30, 2006
Get the politicize mug.Generally good, honest men and women who, despite the misperceptions and lies of special interests and the proletariat, want to help the people they represent. Sure, some politicians views do not represent the majority, but that is the people's fault for not being more proactive with their candidate. Some politicians are also corrupt, but not the majority. If you really want to understand the average politician, look at your mayors and state senators. They usually aren't funded by mega-corporations and lobbies, and they tend to come from average middle to upper-middle class homes.
TL;DR Not every politician is an asshole, get to know them before you judge them.

Average Joe: Politicians are all selfish cocksuckers!
Me: That's not true, I grew up with a politician for a father, and I've met and known politicians of varying degrees of importance all my life. Once you've had governors over for dinner or attended a fund raiser, you realize that they're just ordinary people who care enough about society to stand up and take a bunch of crap from people like you to do the right thing.
Average Joe: Then explain why unemployment is so high!
Me: Look at African nations, they have unemployment over 30%, we're doing pretty damn well. The reason we have so many problems is people have different ideas about how to fix America.

Get the Politically Correct mug.A person, regardless of party affiliation, who thinks that they are better than another person, simply because of their alignment with a particular political party/cause/opinion/etc., and as such, exhibits anger and/or animosity towards another person because they have a different view/opinion.
A precise contradiction of tolerance and acceptance of others, based purely in political/sociological prejudice.

"I'm, like, so totally open minded and accept everybody for who they are. What? What do you mean you voted for a Republican? You baby-killing, seal-clubbing Nazi! How dare you not agree with me! You're just like Hitler"
-or-
"I can't believe those God-hating, hippie, drug-addicts. How dare they want health-care reform! Don't they know that prayer will fix all their ills? If they want health-care, they should just go get a job."
-or-
"You're such a political elite(ist) douche-bag! Why would you start screaming at me, calling me names, and attacking what you perceived as my political affiliation, because I had a ham sandwich for lunch?"

Get the Political Elite mug.Putting human beings into labelled categories.
Let us label many people so it's easy to discriminate against them.
Let us label many people so it's easy to discriminate against them.
Political Bulshit: labelling human beings into categories is discrimination.
Label people as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or Straight. (Don't label us, we're human.)
Labelled race Black, White, Chinese, etc. (Don't label us, we're human.)
Every time a group of people are labelled. We are divided.
Have you ever heard the saying divided We fall, united we stand strong and tall?
(Black lives matter) This is racist, Black people are not the only humans on the planet. we should be respecting each other. Black Lives Matter was set up to start a racial war between black people and all the other races around the world.
We are slowly being labelled and this is causing havoc, wars, and disrespect. Around the world.
