Poll question: Favorite republican catchphrase that they no longer use?
Keep in mind that in action, there's justification as to why you'll never hear these catchphrases of theirs ever again... but they do sure sound nice, don't they?

1. Smaller government
I'm not an overly skilled political debater because I'm fairly new to the political junkie scene, but this angle - Bush's expansion of government - always ends any argument I have with conservatives, and always in my favor. The only solver lining in the cloud of the Bush Administration is that now, even a garden variety Democrat asshole on a barstool can best an Ivy League Repug in a debate.
