I saw the first "blame game" letter to the editor today

[Redstone]

in the Hartford paper.

Sure hasn't taking long for the weasel bastards to get that phrase spread around.

What can we come up with to counteract it? I've been racking my brains, but all I can come up with is "blame where it belongs," but that's not near snappy enough.

Anyone got any ideas? I know at least one of you can do it. Probably many.

3. Party of Accountability

Isn't that what they called themselves in 2000?
Throw that back in their faces.

4. Imagine criminal negligence Defendant say "blame games" not appropriate

[jimshoes]

5. Because the evil bastards

are more concerned with the perception that the government is working rather than the actual government working. Don't know how to counter act it though. Perhaps a few top dems could get up off their asses and stand up to the flim flam men in charge of things.

7. New Orleans is destroyed and people dying are not a GAME!

It is about accountability and the bu$h regime is not capable of accepting accountability for their failures.

When you here the term "Blame Game" Counter with "It is about accountability"

8. Lie and Justify /Moral bankruptcy

That Michael Brown continues to lie and justify away his inaction, apparently without an iota of remorse for the horrific suffering his incompetence has caused, while he still collects his FEMA paycheck, is a blatant example of the moral bankruptcy of the G.O.P.

9. The Memo has gone out...it took seconds to blame Clinton...

http://pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/letters/s_371754.html

Vito Fiore's Sept. 2 letter on the New Orleans disaster ("The drowning of New Orleans") contains two errors that must be addressed.
First, Louisiana and Mississippi had almost 20,000 National Guardsmen available for duty. Why they weren't mobilized sooner is a question for the governors. Iraq has nothing to do with this.

Second, the president cannot spend a dime without the approval of Congress. He may submit a budget, but Congress initiates all spending bills, which the president can approve or disapprove, subject of course to override by Congress. (Remember Tip O'Neill always declared President Reagan's budget proposals "DOA.")

Mr. Fiore should also note that no attempts to strengthen the levees were made during the Clinton administration either.

10. they won't play "blame game" because they will lose!

and they know it. and so does anyone in their right mind. let's call these talking point what they are.

[Touchdown]

11. Denver Post had it Yesterday.

All Rove talking points. Predictable as ever.:eyes:

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Think Jon Stewart. "Those who don't want to play the blame game

are usually the ones to blame." or something close to that. It's not a game, it's a question of accountability.

13. the bucket stops at the president

or drowning in incompetency

I'm not very good at snappy one-liners either.

[Enraged_Ape]

14. They're playing the "Shirk Accountability Game"

I wouldn't have to play the "Blame Game" if someone in this screw-up administration would take responsibility for one of their debacles and either resign or be fired.
