Now about those "Zingers"

[sdfernando]

rMoney was supposed to have stashed in his pocket to toss out at the President. I watched the entire debate and I didn't really hear any. Maybe one or two the very most, and bad ones at that.

What did come out of the debate that is turning into a "zinger" but certainly NOT what rMoney thought would be, or wants to have out there as a zinger is....."Romney wants to kill Big Bird". That is what I remember mostly as a zinger and certainly a lot of people are hanging onto that.

You never know what is going to come out of these debates.

1. The only one I remember is

"you're entitled to your own plane but not your own facts."
Really a stinker.



Maybe he said "aircraft".

3. He said "house" too--sounded stupid, since both house AND plane belong to "We the People."

Flatter than a pancake.

The best zinger, from our POV--and it was a boomerang that hit that assclown right in the kisser--was the Big Bird one!

5. And he couldn't find a place where it made sense to use it.

2. He got his hat handed to him.

4. I think "I'm Against Trickle Down Government" was supposed to be his defining catch phrase.

Watch them run with it.

But I think it'll backfire - it's way to close to "Trickle Down Economics" - a phrase that is used against the Neo-Liberal tax cutting economic policies that the current batch of Tea-partiers and Republicans favor. The phrase primarily fails because to picture a "Trickle Down Government" would actually follow a government from which it's difficult to get services and funding.
Logically, Trickle Down Government is what Paul Ryan's plan will give you.

The phrase also shows a real lack of imagination.
