Can we try to come up with a 'slogan' instead of 'cut n run' ...

[jhrobbins]

to use when the Republicans say that this is the Democratic answer to the Iraqi civil war. First of all, that is what we should start calling that - the Iraqi civil war! (Nevermind that we started this civil war)

ANy smart advert people out there to think of a new news snippet?

[JuniperLea]

1. Retreat and Repair

It needs to be positive.

Retreat does not mean surrender. It does not mean "I give up". It simply means that retreating is the best thing right now. It's a strategic move.

[Quantess]

10. Great start.

My only concern is that, if you're going to scale back to a simple slogan, those might be "too big" words. Sad to say, but if you're trying to court the simple minded, the vocabulary should be simple. For example, "cut and run" is comprehensible to a 2nd grader.

[liberal N proud]

2. The Republicans want to continue to rape and plunder Iraq

[SaveOurDemocracy]

17. not real catchy, but ...

Develop and implement an achievable solution.

[radfringe]

3. well, the republicans seem to be using

"duck and cover" so that's not an option

[asjr]

4. My personal preference is

"No More Lies!"

[mmonk]

5. Lead us out.

[gollygee]

6. "We should never have been there in the first place"

"why should more people have to die for a mistake?"
"Why throw good money after bad?"

[0rganism]

7. "leave and live"?

I think the Dems should find a way to turn the "cut n run" slogan against the GOP, cos their MO is "cut capital gains taxes for the rich, run on their campaign donations" -- who's the real cut'n'run?

[DURHAM D]

8. The WH has stopped using those words - 'cause

they are positioning themselves as the "Adapters".

And on another note, taking a hint from Clinton - Whenever the Repugs and talking heads make some ridiculous statement about the liberals, Dems, etc. every Dem (and I mean every Dem) should begin their response with that is an "assertion" not a "fact". Say it over and over and over again. I have been using it for sometime on Bushwackers and it really frustrates them. Frankly I think most of them go home and look it (assertion) up as they have been arguing with only assertions for so long they don't know the difference.

9. You can't kill an idea,

you can only die trying.

[Efilroft Sul]

11. Hunt down Osama.

We're withdrawing our forces from Iraq to finish the job George W. Bush was incapable of doing.

[BurtWorm]

12. Steering a new course.

As opposed to staying the old one.

[LynzM]

13. I've heard "Stay and Pay"

Not as an alternative, but another way of phrasing what we're doing right now...

[Ganja Ninja]

14. "Leave and be done."

[TahitiNut]

15. "Using American Lives as 'Bait' Is NOT a Sane Foreign Policy"

:shrug: GOP: Chumming Iraq Waters With American Troops

[BootinUp]

16. New regional strategy and redeploy troops

[BootinUp]

18. "No more Denial"

[Wilber_Stool]

19. If this was the sixties

we'd turn it into a dance.

[npincus]

20. better than "stay and die"

[KurtNYC]

21. "Bush cut and ran from Tora Bora" eom

[Quantess]

22. Play it Smart, vote Democratic

GOP plays it dumb. GOP is for unabashed idiots. By ignorant fools, for ignorant fools. That's their image.

Most 2000 Bush voters are already hanging their heads in shame, for being fooled. And now the GOP's strategies and slogans get dumber and dumber. Democrats and liberals are called elitist because they insist on using more than 2 brain cells at a time. GOP is trying to make intelligence seem like a bad thing! They don't try to deny that Democrats are smarter! They turn it around and imply that smart=bad.:crazy:

It's time to fully embrace Smart.

[bluedog]

23. "peace with honor "

peace with honor .statement from Nixon from sppech saying we were pulling out of Nam.

,,,,Bush said..when they get a government........okay..got one...

Armies trained or being trained......bush said "we'll step down.....check...........done............now get out with honor........

[BootinUp]

24. "Stop Cutting and Running from the Truth"

[Xenotime]

25. live and love

[valerief]

26. Clean up the mess. nt

[The Wielding Truth]

31. Yes ++++ Clean up the mess. Dems can do it!

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. Leave and Let Live.

:hi:

[Norquist Nemesis]

28. First of all, 'answering' is not always the best method

In other words, change just a little bit to think in terms of firing back a hit vs. defending yourself from harm.

Shoot back (without repeating 'cut and run') by proclaiming: The GOP are a bunch of carnival hustlers handing out bumperstickers and slogans instead of progressive results.

[zbdent]

29. How about this:

"Republicans put more effort into smear slogans than they do for trying to get our sons and daughters out of Iraq in one piece ..."

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

30. Be decisive! Run like stripey assed Zebras.

Which was the advice given by our bayonet/hand-to-hand combat instructor in boot camp if we were ever out of ammo and confronted by some guy wanting to gut us.

[StellaBlue]

32. "Cut and run" or "Stay and die", Mr Republican - which do you prefer?

;)
