I was just thinking about some words just lead into certain channels. For example: the word comprehensive automatically goes to immigration reform, at least in my head:o The word commonsense leads to gun control. These are so overused by politicians that I hear the first word and my mind automatically finishes the sentence. Are there any other phrases like this? While it seems to me there should be I can’t think of any. ---

This budget proposal is… dead on arrival! The state of our Union is… strong! I apologize… if I offended anyone! Ok, so the last one isn’t only limited to politics. But it still counts. ---
