There is only one talking point any democrat needs to remember...
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 07:26 AM by Atman
BushCo hasn't been right about anything.

Certainly nothing to do with Iraq, though I hesitate to call that 'being wrong.' I think they weren't "wrong," they simply ignored the intelligence they had that would have made them "right" and went with lies instead. The fake Iraqi elections, the dysfunctional "government," the surge...the list of "WRONGS" in this column is nearly endless.

Just for filler you can mention the non-stop parade of lies coming from the WH press office and the Pentagon regarding everything from Jessica Lynch to the toppled Saddam statue to Bush's world record perch; it seems that nothing is too massive nor trivial for these people to lie about, and they look you right in the eye and lie it to your face. With a smirk.

The economy is certainly not the bed of roses BushCo is claiming it to be. Massive tax cuts for a very small percentage of the population have NOT helped the nation's economy, unless you're in that 1% of BushCo Buddies. BushCo even had to change the method of calculating key economic figures in order to make them continually (artificially) rosy, as our entire economy shifts to one of servants, butlers and clerks toiling like serfs for a handful of massively wealthy CEOs.

But you don't even need to get into all that. When you encounter one of the last few remaining imbeciles who still believe the Bush dream is anything more than that dream of himself running to class naked on exam day, simply point out to them that nothing they have said has ever turned out to be correct.





If nothing else, it will be the basis for a lively conversation!

3. I don't like that as much.
I don't like "wrong about everything" as much as I like
"hasn't been right about anything".

The first one sounds (to me) like an opinion or a
prognostication of the future, and thus is susceptable
to debate.

The second one sounds more like a statement of fact,
of history, something that should be evident to
anyone who looks objectively at the facts.
