I have an idea.

After seeing the recess appointments, the complaints about Pelosi's trip, the embarrassing speeches about vetoing war funding, the hissy fits, 3rd grade rhetoric, and Rep Blackburn on Hardball last night insisting that compromise equals giving the GOP whatever they want, I have determined that we are going about this all wrong. We keep fighting bullshit with facts, we keep trying to bring the debate up to our level. Problem is we are fighting a grade school playground mentality. Maybe we need to come up with a list of talking points to use every time a Republican opens his mouth. Obviously we are too well informed and to devoted to our cause to debate these people on their level so what I propose is that the parents of all kids in grade school make a list of their kids favorite debating points and keep them as a list of retorts to the brilliant statements of our Neo-Con leaders. Things like "I know you are but what am I" and "I'm rubber and you're glue and whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you." My kids will be home from school soon and I'll see what the current debating trends are on the playgrounds of America today, and list those brilliant retorts here for all to use. Maybe if we frame the debates in a way they can understand them we might gain some more ground. :evilgrin:

Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words will never
Hurt me!

I agree with you and have long wanted to post something similar to what you've written above.

What we're dealing with is people who are the equivalent of the food left at the buffet around 2:30. They are the dregs of people: they have no knowledge, no professionalism, no vision of a better world.

6. I've heard my son say

"Don't hate me cuz you ain't me". I think that'd work because, let's face it, how long can they go on being SO wrong about EVERYTHING.
