stinkin’ thinkin’
n.— «You also must accept that the enemies of private property, the radical environmental left, pretty much control Democrat policy. As the party of big, intrusive, regulatory government, Democrats regard businesses as the problem, not the solution, to almost anything. Businesses exist, seemingly, for tax revenue and social engineering. I can only hope for an intervention by those close to him, to correct what I call “stinkin’ thinkin'”.» —“Women in the Republican campaign” by Don Polson Red Bluff Daily News (California) Oct. 6, 2008.
