When speaking with Repuke family and coworkers, I like to use this line from Lewis Black...

[arbusto_baboso]

"Democrats are here to remind us that life is unfair. Republicans are here to make certain that it is."

No one has EVER had a coherent comeback for that.

[Dennis Donovan]

1. Hahahahahahaha!!!!

:rofl:

[TxBlue]

2. Loves me some Lewis Black!! nt

[CrispyQ]

3. That's a good one!!

My favorite line, from Lee Iacocca: When you hear the phrase 'tax & spend liberals' fire back with 'tax cut & spend conservatives.'

Sadly, soundbites work. I would like to see others add their fave soundbites to this thread.

10. I call that "don't tax but spend anyways."

I didn't know Iacocca said that.

[StatGirl]

13. I like "Borrow and spend".

People like "don't tax", but they don't like "borrow".

[Arkansas Granny]

4. That's a good one. I hadn't heard that before.

[LatteLibertine]

5. Lewis Black

and George Carlin are two of my favs. I miss Carlin.

6. Love his bit on his Press Corp appearance

Talking about Wolfowitz and his parents. Too, too funny!:rofl:

[truedelphi]

8. Me too. And I loved it when his whole joke was just saying the words "Dick Cheney"

And then soulfully looking at the audience as the audience laughed for ten minutes till they peed their collective pants

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

15. I think I still have it tivoed

May have to watch it again tonite!

[damntexdem]

7. And as I said recently to a colleague: 'The Dems may have ACORN, but the GOP has the nuts.'

[EFerrari]

9. Perfecto!

lol

[lazyriver]

11. A great line for sure. My personal favorite for all non-family members

and other republicans I can afford to piss off is the one Lewis used when describing creationists who say dinosaurs coexisted with humans, "You're fffffffffucking nuts!", complete with that finger pointing thing he does.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. .

:spray:

[DangerDave921]

12. be careful

He also said Democrats have no ideas, and that Reubs have bad ideas.

[arbusto_baboso]

14. Yes, but how many rethugs know the routines of Lewis Black?

And I think Black would reassess that "no ideas" line in light of recent events.

[truedelphi]

18. What he said and I wish it wasn't true but in thinking about how we

Elected Pelosi to get us out of Iraq and maybe to hold Bush accountable for his crimes I guess it is - what Lewis said was "This is how government works. The Republicans think to themselves, "Oh what should we do?" So then they all step forward and take a big shit. Then the Democrats have the power returned to them, and they look at the pile of shit and say, "Ew this won't do," so they spend the next four years re-arranging that pile of shit!"

[Laelth]

16. Brilliant. n/t

:dem:

-Laelth

[frankowen7]

17. Lewis Black rocks!

[Brewman_Jax]

20. Adding to the list...

Repugs say that government is bad and will not work for you; elect us and we'll prove it.
