Ken Mehlman:: "Democrats want to cut & run, cut & walk, cut & jog"

[Philosoraptor]

Ken Mehlman, republican Pukesman bloviater, First on msnbc he said it in reference to John Kerry, then he repeated the above phrase in the exact same way.

He's so so very cute, having never worn a uniform.

This is obviously the number one talking point till November.

[LSparkle]

1. He can babble on about "cut and run" all day long

"Lie and die" is a much more effective slogan (and more truthful, too).

[Master Mahon]

2. GOP knows cut and run

GOP Eisenhower - cut and ran from Korea.
GOP Nixon - cut and ran from Vietnam.

Repukes sure know what they're talking about when it comes to 'cut and run' don't they??

We had so many more freedoms before we cut and ran from Vietnam didn't we?

[ginnyinWI]

7. and Reagan "cut and ran" from Lebanon. n/t

[Kikosexy2]

17. Always have your list...

GOPs who avoided military service handy...

[roguevalley]

29. Cheney cut and ran to the deferrment office five times. does that count?

[LeftCoast]

3. Stay the course...just like the Soviets in Afghanistan

What a brilliant f*ing plan...

[zulchzulu]

4. Mehlman lives a lie telling lies...

Mehlman hates himself secretly and has to continue not only to live a lie but make his living on telling lies. He's a pathetic cake-eater that secretly wishes to get sodomized by his angry spanking father figure at nearly every waking moment, so you can understand his troubled soul.

[meti57b]

5. republicans: too chicken to admit it's time to bring home the troops.

[ginnyinWI]

6. Haha--and that's all they got!

When I'm not :puke: over Ken Mehlman, I'm :boring:

[grytpype]

8. Surprised he could take the dick out of his mouth long enough to say that.

He didn't serve, but they don't like closet queens in the military.

[LittleClarkie]

9. Surprised he didn't try "Cut and Windsurf"

Repeat something enough it becomes meaningless.

[grytpype]

18. That's next. As is "cut and sip latte while reading the NYT."

[WinkyDink]

33. "Cut and shop in Harvard boutiques."

(ca. Bush41/Dukakis)

[Rosemary2205]

10. Face it people , the Dems will never catch up

The Republicans are pumping out catch phrases way too fast for us to catch up. :)

[LSK]

16. actually this one is old

I heard it plenty of times in the past.

[unpossibles]

21. that is only half true

the real problem is that they have an established propaganda machine in place with a huge audience of Americans of all stripes - you know; the TV, radio, and newspapers.

How many times have you heard/read/seen the Left's position on anything, except in a negative light?

[annabanana]

11. Instead.. They will borrow, and we will BLEED.

that's all

[teryang]

12. It's suicide to admit military failure -so keep pretending

Those PR zingers from Hill & Knowlton and Mein Kampf won't save them.

[johnfunk]

13. This from the spokesman for the "Lie & Die" Party

You knew Ken Mehlman was lying, because his lips were moving.

[jimshoes]

14. Wake up and smell the gunpowder ken...

This course you insist on staying on is getting Americans killed every day and shows no signs of improving, ever. Please explain how what we're doing is worth it.

[LSK]

15. perfect counter:

Same old shit.

[grytpype]

19. The Repugs are just tying themselves more tightly to their failed war.

That's all they're doing, they're trying to mock Dems for being wimps and weaklings, but meanwhile Iraq is a ten-ton stone tied around their necks, dragging them down.

Earlier this year I was concerned that Bush would declare victory and pull out of Iraq in time for the elections, but luckily I was wrong. He's going down with the ship and dragging all the Repugs with him. Good riddance.

[karlrschneider]

20. I forced myself to watch that little prick...and now you hafta remind me

of it all over again. GRRR.

;-)

[TexasLawyer]

22. Framing the issue--

Why is withdrawal from Iraq being called "surrender," "running away," "defeat," "cutting and running" "going wobbly" (Bill Frists's today) and so on.

What happened to "standing down" as the Iraqis stood up. Why isn't getting out of Iraq "redeployment" or just plain old "withdrawal"?

And are the other members of the coalition of the temporarily willing also "surrendering"? I thought they were just withdrawing.

[flpoljunkie]

23. And the media is only too delightful to repeat this phrase, and let them

repeat it ad nauseum.

I thought Murtha had the perfect response to this chickenhawk mantra, "Stay and pay!"

[flpoljunkie]

32. Make that "delighted," dammit!

[iconoclastNYC]

24. I can't wait until the Mehlman story breaks

Hopefully a week before the midterms. Let's see how many of those homo-hating fundies get out to vote when they learn the leader of thier party is....uhm..... an abomination.

[Marr]

25. Keep perfuming those turds, big guy.

[greenbriar]

26. hannity said that today too

talking points

[long_green]

27. Here's a retort:

They Lost.
The people didn't lose, the troops didn't lose, Bush lost.

another phrase: The Worst. As in "Bush is, by far, the worst, most inept Commander in Chief to ever order good men and women to their deaths."

[frylock]

28. he's earned his cube of sugar and apple to be sure..

[Hubert Flottz]

30. Republicans want to Cut and Rip-off,

Cut and Lie, Cut and Spy, Cut and Cheat, Cut and Go AWOL, Cut and Dodge, Cut and Torture, Cut and Steal! Nobody would have to worry about how Bush would do in the "Front Line Foxhole," because he'd be on the morning report as a deserter!

[Rex]

31. Republicans want to spend & spend, spend & spend, spend & spend.

This should be the number one talking point for Dems. Does the public really trust (currently no) a group of people who can't spend money in a rational way? I would say most people vote their wallet and most know how out of control our gummit is when it comes to waste.

[IndyOp]

34. Dems win this by *changing the frame* - it's an occupation and you can't

cut and run from an occupation!

[Dr Fate]

35. He needs to CUT THE CRAP about his "Lie & Die" strategy.

If you can even call it a strategy.
