Is there a list of the most popular Republican Talking Points?
I'm interested in creating a time line of what the talking points were over the past 7 years, mostly because I think nobody else has done that...well I can't find one anyway.

Here's just a few biggies off the top of my head. Yelling them makes them very entertaining by the way.


-We're fighting them over there so we don't have to here!
-Nobody could have anticipated (fill in the blank)!
-They hate us for our freedoms!
-9/11 changed everything!
-This is a different kind of war!
-John Edwards is the number four Liberal in the Senate!
-Al Gore said he invented the internet!
-What we have to do is look forward!
-Valerie Plame was not covert and only had a desk job!
-Saddam Hussein was the next Hitler and Iraq the next Nazi Germany!
-Valerie Plame was "Well-known" Before Rove and Libby Outed Her!
-Zarqawi's Death a Major Blow Against Terrorism in Iraq!


(the list goes on and on)

It would be so handy to have an organized database of these. Would anyone here like to contribute a quick list of their "favorites" I'll look them all up and do the time line. I think this would be a fun project.

Thanks to all who help.

1. I think the problem is that they're running out of ...
... talking points. Their leadership has been such a disastrous failure that nothing they say is going to have traction. Unless they can manufacture some terrorist event. Or something.

2. How about a list of words?
Forever preserved by Wikiality.com! (http://wikiality.com/Dr._Frank_Luntz)

These are words that Luntz determined best describe liberals and republicans.

Enjoy.

3. Just look at the subject headings in GD-P.
You'll find plenty there.

Sigh.

4. Here's another my Mom got from Rush, Billo, et al
If you don't support the troops, you're giving aid and comfort to the enemy

She spouted it directly when she and I had a conversation about Blackwater and their involvement in the Iraq war.
