New Democratic talking point I haven't seen yet...

[sutz12]

Every time some Repub says that Democrats would "Wait until we are attacked before we do anything" we should respond by asking,

"Isn't that what Bush did in 2001?"

[frogcycle]

1. Right

excellent point!

[MadMaddie]

2. Oh....that is good......and so accurate....

[NMMNG]

3. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. K&R

[filer]

4. Yes, but after we were attacted...

he exhibited steely resolve and invaded the wrong country.

[AtomicKitten]

5. while he read "My Pet Goat"

[JimDandy]

18. Sort of like his brother Jeb,

who hid in a closet like a scared child -- only * hid in a classroom, scared, WITH other kids!

HeeHee.

[w4rma]

6. Exactly. (nt)

[VOX]

7. Brilliant. One to file away for future use! n/t

[Lasher]

8. That's great, and here's another one.

Every time some repuke says, "cut and run" we should say,

"You mean like Reagan did from Beirut in 1984?"

9. Perfect!

10. Kudos

and a recommendation for you. I don't usually recommend short pieces like yours but honestly, it said everything it needed to say in those two short sentences. Thank you and I will be appropriating it.

11. And then attack the wrong people

while completely ignoring Al Qaeda.

[Bandit]

12. I would rather reply, NO that is what the Bush* Administration did

It is more a statement of fact than a question..

[file83]

17. I agree - that's what I thought. We need to distinguish ourselves from *

in that statement while at the same time denounce the suggestion that our plan is to "do nothing". We have a plan - it just doesn't involve over reacting like Bush did to cover up the fact that he did NOTHING before 9/11.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

13. No, I think that's a silly thing to say.

Yes, Bush did it, and it turned out to be the wrong thing. Any response has to be based on the fact that Democrats *wouldn't* make the same mistake. I see three possible potentially-valid responses:

i) We are under a major terrorist threat; we will take actions X Y and Z that will reduce this threat.

ii) We are under a major terrorist threat; there is nothing we can do that will reduce it but there are things which Bush is doing that are making it worse that we will avoid.

iii) We are not currently under a major terrorist threat, so we will not take any anti-terrorist action.


Just saying "Bush did last time" isn't a good answer, because he clearly isn't now, rightly or wrongly.

14. After you say that look at your watch.

Then see how long it takes them to say "Clinton".




They have been programmed by OxyRush to have a conditioned response just like Pavlov's dogs.

[FrenchieCat]

15. Love IT! Asleep at the wheel, Bush was!

[butterfly77]

16. Another one is ..

CLINTON and everyone thought sadaam had wmd's and someone should point out that that is what they thought, but who gave the information to the congress at the time that they invaded Iraq. Did all of these people have the same info as Dumbya?

[femrap]

19. Bravo!!!! I'm going to use that line! nt

[Straight Shooter]

20. Yes. It's a classic case of projection. Great comeback, sutz12.

That should shut up a few yapping know-nothing mouths.
