Politics is a serious matter of human life, which is closely related to language. There are plenty of political metaphors in political discourse, and in political metaphors there exists plenty of ideology. Studying of political discourse, political metaphors and the hidden ideology, this paper, based on the metapor theory of cognitive linguistics, probes how people think and speak while talking about politics.
