CNN: Bush to quit using "turned the corner" line.

[democratreformed]

They had a big story about how the Democrats have used the phrase against him. They showed a clip of Kerry saying "It must've been a U-turn." (in reference to jobs) They said the phrase has definitely backfired.

Ha Ha! I love it!

1. So how many flip-flops does that make for Bush now...

regarding campaign slogans and such.

There's using images of 9-11 in commercials, there's this, there's the swift-boat stuff, there's victory in Iraq...

[Skip Intro]

2. And they were saying "results matter" just a few days ago

but that was before the jobs report came out...

oh well, they always have "september the eleventh" - not

[democratreformed]

8. and the latest one..

a national sales tax

[lottie244]

18. Yeah, turned the cornor and ran into a wall!!

That's what the Dem response should be.

4. Yeah, and that ..the last pres to use that phase was

Herber freakin' Hoover!

[against all enemies]

5. New ad makes fun of it - The idea is right from the Daily Show.

The Dems should get ALL their ads from the Daaily Show. They are smart and the thinking is already done for them.

[Snoggera]

6. How about the new line

"We repeatedly bump into walls because we are numbskulls"

[David Zephyr]

7. Some of the Terms Bush Never, Ever Utters Anymore:

"We've turned the corner on the economy."

"Mission Accomplished"

"The end of all major hostility"

"Saddam's Rape Rooms" (Abu Ghraib)

"Saddam's Torture Rooms" (Abu Ghraib)

"Bring 'em on" (Nearly 1,000 U.S. soldiers attacked after Bush's dare)

"Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction"

"Saddam's Nuclear Program"

"I'm a uniter, not a divider."

[Cha]

14. "compassionate conservantive"!

"fool me once ...won't get fooled again"..saying in Tennessee and Texas.

[David Zephyr]

16. Oh Yeah! "Compassionate Conservative".

Don't think we'll hear that one much anymore either, Zidzi! :hi:

[depakid]

9. Whatever happened to the coalition of the wild eyed?

damn, we were having fun with that too.

[central scrutinizer]

10. "we've turned the recession around 360 degrees"

thanks to the tax cuts.

[joanne]

11. Speaking of flip flops

For anyone trying to keep count (good luck!)

Yesterday:

President Bush said on Tuesday that abolishing the U.S. income tax system and replacing it with a national sales tax was an idea worth considering.
"It's an interesting idea," Bush told an "Ask President Bush" campaign forum here. "You know, I'm not exactly sure how big the national sales tax is going to have to be, but it's the kind of interesting idea that we ought to explore seriously."

Today:

Administration officials on Wednesday denied that President Bush is considering a national sales tax, a day after the Republican incumbent created a stir by calling such a tax "an interesting idea that we ought to explore seriously."

12. He turned the corner three times ...

Unfortunately, he turned left each time.

[City Lights]

13. It'll take awhile to reprogram the chimp.

We'll definitely hear the phrase again.

[scottxyz]

15. We need to go to Mars!

And ban steroids!

That's what's wrong with this country!

[LowerManhattanite]

17. Don't forget how "I'm a War President" two weeks ago became...

..."I'm a PEACE President."

"Turned the corner." Yep...right into oncoming traffic on a one-way street.
