Top 10 D.C. Buzzwords of 2010
(CNSNews.com) – The year’s top buzzword, as determined by the editors of CNSNews.com, is a phrase: “Repeal Obamacare.”
(The term “buzzword” is not necessarily pejorative. Applied to Washington and Congress, it simply means the terms of discussion, words that may arise in a particular context — most frequently in the halls of Congress, or emanating from network TV studios — but which gain popular currency as the terms of the day.)
Here are the Top 10 buzzwords from Washington, D.C., for 2010:
1. “Repeal Obamacare” – A buzzword that gained traction in 2009, Obamacare became even more pervasive in 2010. “We must repeal Obamacare” became the mantra heard in race after race in the mid-term elections. CNSNews.com asked members of Congress if they would pledge to repeal the president’s health-care reform law, reporting on their answers.
2. “Trillion”
3. “Tea-baggers”
4. “Illegal aliens/undocumented immigrants”
5. “Pelosi”
6. “Ground Zero Mosque”
7. “Global warming”/“global climate change”/“climate disruption”
8. “Earmarks”
9. “Tax Cuts”
10. “WikiLeaks”

Teaparty, Repeal Obamacare, Cut Spending, John Boehner (this could be good or bad), EPA, Boomers and (I Hope) Pigford.
