Republican language on Health Care reform yesterday

My inbox was flooded yesterday by mass emails from various 501s, 527s, and GOP leadership on the subject of Sunday’s health vote.

Overall the language was so direct and consistent that I decided to run the text through TextSTAT and make a word cloud with the results. Removing the usual small words and also “health” “insurance” and “reform” (too obvious), here’s what it looked like:

Pretty strong stuff. I particularly found it interesting how often “machine” and “government” (often in conjunction with “big”) was used. To get a feel for the tone, Newt’s column was particularly sharp-edged, and (as always) worth a read.
