We need powerful words to describe repub ideas/programs.
Like "Death Tax" = "Inheritance tax" maybe "Wealthy welfare" We must come up with a script and stick to it, always. Other examples or ideas?

5. Buzzwords
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 09:53 PM by AVESGA
Radical Right-wing extremists (the word "conservative" has no meaning in the present environment - don't use it ever.)

Estate tax, not death tax. I also like "sperm-lotto-giveaway".
(point out that you could work your butt off your entire life and likely not end up as well off as the Twins were on the day they were born - relates to their taxing your hard work, and not some spoiled kid's accumulated/inherited wealth.)

Corporate and financial elites (NOT "corporate America")

Dominionists instead of "Christians"

Forced prayer, not "school prayer"

Never hesitate to point out that they're dismantling the middle class. The class war they will accuse you of fomenting has been going on forever, now the other side is running up the bodycount.

9. your money? your money?
Were you born with nothing? Did you feed yourself as you grew up? Pay for your own education? From first grade until, um, I'll be generous here, 12th grade? Pave your own roads? Fight your own wars? Please, I really would like to know.

12. Republicans are taking it from people who aren't born yet
That's what that debt ceiling was all about.

17. Try our list of suggested vocabularly words - for the
Anti-GOP "Madlibs" game (if you will)...

It's in the Frame the Debate forum:

Please feel free to add your own, 'eh?

HIGH TIME we took back the language, and thus, the agenda, and ultimately, OUR COUNTRY.
