What Repug Phrase or Saying Bothers you the most?

[CoffeePlease1947]

There are lots of them and I hear them all the time. The ones that bother me the most are ones that flat out lie, which is about 95% of them. Here are few that really make me grind my teeth.

"GOP-Grand Old Party"/ Wrong, the Democrats have been around longer

"God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" Wrong and biggoted

"You are either with us or against us" Illogical, one can be against thethe US and against Terrorism.

"Abortion is the murder of a baby"

"Democrats are the party of tax and spend"

"The death penalty deters crime"


Can you add any more that drive you up the wall?

[woofless]

1. Four More Years n/t

[mikehiggins]

2. President George Bush

[Mz Pip]

3. Compassionate Conservatism

and
"The Republican's are for the little guy."

I heard Peggy Noonan give that as an answer to the question of why she is a Republican. Thought I would :puke:

MzPip
:dem:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

41. And an even more blatant one

"Republicans are for freedom." :puke:

BTW: lose the apostrophe. Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spelling Nazi. ;)

[LSdemocrat]

4. "It's the people's money"

[KeepItReal]

5. "Help America Vote Act" and "Liberal Media"

Both are oxymorons...

The Help America Vote Act pays for rolling out PC Voting (BBV) systems which commonly don't produce voter-verifyable paper-trails.

You don't need me to tell you about that Liberal Media myth they created.

[janx]

6. "Get Over It"--

.

[ComerPerro]

7. The enemy of my enemy is my friend

I hate that philosophy.

That philosophy sold weapons to Saddam, and trained Osama bin Laden in terrorist tactics.

Fuck Reagan, and fuck Ollie North.
They are both traitors.

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Any of the sickening little catch phrases that imply you "hate America"...

.....Just by not agreeing 100% with the sickening fascist murdering agenda.

[BlueJazz]

9. "Democrats are Tax and Spend People"

I usually nail them on that one by pointing out that it's
the Republicans that have run up the National debt to historical levels.

Mr. Bush Baud Man! He Vedy, Vedy Baud Man!!

[LoZoccolo]

10. Love it or leave it.

WTF?!?!!!!

I suppose they took that attitude when Clinton was president?

[Selwynn]

16. I gotta second this one - this is my runner up.

[eleny]

11. You liberals are carping

[FlemingsGhost]

12. "I misspoke"

F*ck you! You lied.

[RuB]

13. Equating support for Bushie to support for troops

Someone saying Bushie is a 'good' man.
Someone saying Bushie is a 'moral' man.
Someone saying Bushie is a 'Christian.'
Bushie or anyone else saying Bushie is a 'leader'(sic).
I could go on and on but I'm getting sick.

[flamingyouth]

14. Evildoers

I just hate that word - makes my skin crawl whenever I hear that idiot say it.

[Selwynn]

15. "I'm for small government"

No you're not. You're for HUGE corporate welfare government and HUGE socially restrictive government, you're for small government when it comes to things like, taking care of the poor, social justice, and equality.

[leftofthedial]

17. let people decide how to spend their own money

(in the context of cutting taxes)

This is antithetical to living in a civilized society in which we have common interests and in which common funds are used for the common good.

[hooligan]

18. Bring 'em on.

Also, their use of misleading titles. Examples:

Clear Skies Initiative
Healthy Forests Initiative

[AP]

19. "I'll take my answer off the air"

How presumptuous to imagine that you were a guest on the show.

Anyway, now that they all say it, isn't it implied by now.

I'm half serious about this. I think this started on RW radio, and now everybody says it. It's like a virus.

[AP]

20. "That works for me!"

Huh? It's like a substitute for thinking. Some right winger says something that's so illogical it just leaves your head spinning. And then another right winger pipes up, "TWFM!" It's like a punctuation mark, telling you to go no farther, because if you did try to figure out what was meant, the absense of reason and logic would quickly dawn on you. So someone has to throw that in before thoughts start to develop and solidify.

[lapauvre]

21. My really drive me to mouth frothing ones...

Anybody who speaks against the administration during a war is unpatriotic.

Anybody who speaks against the administration during a war are guilty of treason.

Anybody who speaks against the administration during a war are un-American.

Anybody who dissents simply hates Bush and is into Bush-bashing.
(Like maybe Clinton wasn't--especially by that addict who raved while under the influence to his ditto heads.)

And lastly, whenever the repugs rewrite history as it is being made. I mean, I can deal with revisionist ancient history, but when they start rewriting history from six months ago, it is toooooooooooo insulting.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

27. Hey lapauvre

check my sig line. I'm with you.

[Cat Atomic]

22. "What about Clinton???"

It's pathetic.

[Phatfish]

23. i hat this one

"The founders of this country created our nation as a Judeo-Christian Nation" - Bible-thumpers

Well, many of them happened to be of some sect of Christianity and I am sure some of them wanted religion in government, yet that pesky 1st amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Them and the states even ratified that pagan document. Even if they all did want a Judeo-Christian nation, there is no chance that they could have been wrong about anything. That whole 3/5ths of a person should still be going on today "/sarcasm off"

[Catholic Sensation]

24. "I'm President because God wanted me to be"

GOOD FOR YOU YOU FUCKING IDIOT, THE PEOPLE DIDN'T AND IF THIS IS A REAL DEMOCRACY, GET OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE YOU COKE HEAD ALCOHOLIC PUTZ!

Sorry for the anger in that, but I'm reading about how conservatives are supporting that moron General and feel like I'm about to have a stroke.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

25. "United We Stand" ...not with fucking war criminals, we don't, thanks.

Designed to stifle dissent and coerce rally-around-the-(p)resident goose-stepping. Also reinforces NATIONALISM, which is an even more murderous '-ism' than sexism and racism. That is why 'patriotism' is such a revolting way of thinking. Nation states are the last artificial division of humanity meant to create giant warring gangs who kill each other to support the shithead in the power seat.

[Lady President]

26. "Family Values"

I despise hearing Republicans discuss "family values." What decent family would have hate as one of their major "values"? As a Dem. who comes from a close, loving family this insults me to the very core.

[Zorra]

28. "Nucular"

and "Too liberal to be elected"

[leftyandproud]

29. God Bless America

ugh...I can stand it, maybe...once a year in a song or something, but I hate when the winger talk show hosts say it every time they sign off.

[Isome]

30. I hate to hear them say:

• I support our troops!
  
  
• ...at least on Fox you get both sides of the story.
  
  
• I'm glad Bush was in the WH when 9/11 happened, instead of Al Gore.
  
  
• I don't hate homosexuals, but they are trying to get "special privileges".
  
  
• I don't hate Black people, but they are trying to get "special privileges".
  
  
• ...playing (played) the race card.
  
  
• You have to take personal responsibility...
  {especially since they and their leaders run from it regularly!}
  

[AP]

31. Yeah. I totally agree with these.

Excellent choices.

• If we support them, why won't we feed them?
  
• At least with Fox, statistics prove we're getting the most effective misinformation out of a group of media outlets which are all trying to outdo each other in terms of misinforming the public
  
• Presuming 9/11 even would have happened, I really enjoyed watching my president run around America like a freaked out bunny all day on 9/11, and those were a series of pretty uninspiring speeches 'til they gave him that bullhorn, and that was just shameful -- yeah, it's great that we have a former college cheerleader as president. those skills came in handy!
  
• The special of privilege of having the constitution apply to you!
  
• ditto
  
• Please don't remind us about race
  
• yes, the buck alwasy stops on Bush's desk
  

[Piperay]

32. "Democrats are the party of tax and spend"...

sick to death of that BIG lie. Repukes are cheapskates who always have their hands out and never want to pay for their fair share of anything.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. "Bleeding Heart Liberal"

I say, at least Liberals HAVE a heart!

[onebigbadwulf]

34. Here...

-Damn hippies

-God is on our side

-If you don't like America the way it is then leave

-Michael Moore is a fatass (that's the typical repuke response to Moore's political attacks)

-The world is a safer place with Saddam gone

-There's no such thing as global warming

[Pompitous_Of_Love]

35. "Democrat Party"

If I remember correctly, a junkie came up with this one...

[leftchick]

36. baby boy boosh* inherited the recession....

and they really believe it! Morans....

[Vogon_Glory]

37. The Republican Party is the Party of Personal Responsibility

The Republican saying that the GOP is the party of personal responsibility is the one that's currently annoying me. After watching Dubya's and the Far Right's tap dance about the effects of the Iraq War and federal deficits ballooning bigger than Daddy Bush's ever did, that slogan is a mjor contender for rank hypocricy.

"Get Over It" comes in second.

--VG

[Vogon_Glory]

38. If the Republican Party Is the Party of Recession

"If the Republican Party is the party of recession, than the Democratic Party is the party of wars."

Well, that's another one Dubya disproved. Now we have both.

[Shigley]

39. Probably the most ironic...

is their lionizing of Bush and Reagan when it comes to economics, both of them presided over huge recessions, and both of them ran ungodly large deficits - this from the party of financial responsibility, right? :eyes:

[skippysmom]

40. "that's class warfare"

comes up whenever anyone points out how *'s policies benefit the rich.

no, the gop declared war on the lower classes YEARS ago!

[JHB]

42. "Are you seriously suggesting...?"...

...(fill in the blank), pretending it's unconscionable to even suggest they might commit some wrongdoing, while simultaneously speaking to their faithful as if they must win at any cost or the country is lost.

[Loonman]

43. "bedwetters" "filter" "WMD"

BJ Clinton
Hitlery

[arwalden]

44. "Condoms Don't Work" and "Marriage Is Between A Man And Woman Only"

[DakotaDemocrat]

45. Arrgghhh...

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
- State of the Union 2003

"We believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
- Cheney, March 16, 2003

"I don't believe anyone that I know in the administration ever said that Iraq had nuclear weapons."
— Rumsfeld, at a Senate's appropriations subcommittee hearing, May 14, 2003

'We know where they are, they are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north of that,' he said."
- Rumsfeld

"I've been to war. I've raised twins. If I had a choice, I'd rather go to war."
- Bush, Jan 27, 2003

“six months away from developing a weapon.”
- Bush

"Every single child in America must be educated, I mean every child. There's nothing more prejudiced than not educating a child."
- Bush, debate versus Vice President Al Gore, Oct. 11, 2000

"Bring em on!"
- Bush


I could really go on, but I'll stop now and take my fist out of my computer screen...

[AtTheEndOfTheDay]

46. At the end of the day

Not exclusively but predominantly republican. Used to hear it in the Army 20 years ago and I'd guess Powell has popularized it the past couple years. Seems like every talking head utters this insipid line. I've heard Lugar say it two or three times in one sitting. I wish the fucking day would finally end. Sounds like a lot will go down on that occasion.

[skypilot]

47. "We're on the case."

"We've got them on the run."

"They hate freedom."

"We're a peace loving nation."

"We're making progress."

"We're looking to move forward."

And all the other HOLLOW shit that comes out of *'s mouth. It's been 3 years and I'm still waiting for him to SAY something.

[eileen_d]

48. Here's one that hasn't been mentioned (specifically) yet

That dreaded "homosexual agenda." Hell, I'm straight but I fear the "heterosexual agenda" much more...

[skypilot]

49. Homosexual agenda

Hell, I'm gay and I don't even know what the "agenda" is. I'm still waiting for some dumbass winger to fill me in. If I had to guess, I think it has something to do with queerifying future generations and undermining Western civilization. Shit, I can barely get out of bed in the morning without hitting the snooze alarm a half dozen times.
