Republicans Screwball Dictionary Expanding. Is this what they mean by an "Official Language?"

I love following and using the language of the far right! You never know how a conservative will react. So as a student of the new conservative politicization of our language, I'm always on the alert for new applications, like "disenfranchise."

This time, it’s the very important word “disenfranchise.” The context is a press release announcing the opening of the Scott Walker “Victory” Center in Waukesha. Check it out.
This event kicks off the 2012 election campaign season where we shall help defend our governor and beat back this effort to disenfranchise our votes from last November.
Wait… What? I think I see where you’re going here.  You want people to believe that citizens voting in a recall election are somehow “disenfranchising” voters from the previous election.  Interesting theory.
