"We're tired of being trickled on by George Bush!"

[JohnKleeb]

7. I loved Al Sharpton's remark at the debate in Chicago

where he said that the reason he was late was because his taxi driver was NON-union! HA!

[polmaven]

8. Al Sharpton

"When I'm president I won't put George Bush in charge of the missing persons bureau".

I'm just a little dense today, I guess...Will someone please define "m.f."? Thanks.

On edit...the cloud suddenly lifted...miserable failure! Got it! Whew!!

[eleny]

9. miserable failure - as in....

[ModerateMiddle]

10. Kerry's

Americans are tired of being trickled on by George W. Bush.

[Sophree]

14. Oh my gosh

I hadn't heard that one- that's great. Kerry's had some good zingers, hasn't he?

[Brucey]

11. All good, but most effective is

Dean's line about "Borrow and Spend" because the idiots like to say the Dems are tax and spend. In fact, repugs spend more, and spend it less wisely.

[JohnKleeb]

12. ok

Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction- DJK
We have to avoid this state of mind that war is ineviteful- DJK

[blm]

This is from Feburary 2002.

15. Sharpton...

Always seems to have the best lines, I remember back a while ago he was talking about VooDoo economics (which you have to hear him say for the full impact) he said about trickle down economics: "No body got the trickle, and we ALL got the DOWN" it was excellent I busted out laughing.

[kentuck]

16. The one that most disturbs your opposition....

Miserable failure! :)

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

18. Mine

All are paraphrased.

Dean: Everyone's fear is having to speak after Al.

Kerry: The only jobs Bush has created are the 9 standing here.

Gephardt: Miserable failure

Dean: He is simply a tax shifter.

Dean: No School Board Left Standing

Sharpton wins with: Slap this donkey all the way to the White House

CMB: Her story about running for office (White people won't vote for you because you're black, no one will vote for you because you're a woman--well, that was all I had to hear and I've been winning elections ever since).

[TheDonkey]

20. Liberman

I'm not sure how it exactly went but it was something like,

"I know I can beat the Bush-Cheney team because Al Gore and me already have."

Braun mentioned the "No Behind Left" and "No schoolhouse left standing" many times in her speeches.

Sharpton durin the sheet metal debate had a lot of zingers, Kerry last debate in New Mexico had some golden ones too. Gephart started a tren with miserable failure for sure. That might be the new "It's the economy, stupid".

[robbedvoter]

21. Clark: "I think republicans got mesmerized by the weapons"(forgot planning

Also, on the Bush doll:
"First of all, I think it's a great flight suit, and a lot of...
(audience applause and laughter) great men and women have worn that suit
with honor, and have risked their lives, have lost their lives, in that
flight suit"

"The war in Iraq is the biggest blunder since the cold war"

[leftofthedial]

22. Spank the donkey

Rev. Al.

[lancemurdoch]

24. Borrow and spend?

I hadn't heard that one, that's great. So much of the crap Republicans say can be thrown right back in their faces. A tax cut taken out of the deficit is just like buying off of credit cards. 9% of our taxes already go to debt interest - and about half of that is owned by the wealthiest 0.5% of Americans. So they don't mind it much.

I'm very happy Dean is in the race...I prefer Gephardt since Dean is more fiscally conservative and Gephardt has decades of service to organized labor, but Dean has injected the race with energy.

[diamondsoul]

26. Kucinich-

John Stewart-"Why are you running for President?"
Dennis Kucinich, without hesitation-"Change the world."

And let's not forget "You know, I'm on the Ways and Means Comittee, and I have to say- Donald Rumsfeld IS a robot."

"The President's 'leave-no-billionaire-behind' tax cut to the wealthy will do nothing to help the average Ohioan."

There are a couple of others, but atm, I want to see about catching Thurs. night's debate replay.

[scarletlib]

27. Privatize Bush

One of my favorites spoken by Rev.Al Sharpton in one of the earlier debates.

[gottaB]

28. You can put a dress on a pig and call it Britney, but it's still a pig.

Carol Moseley Braun.

Not the best, just a twist on a favorite colloquialism.
