[pleah]

5. repug code -- free with next box of Cheeriors

key operating codes: Best defense is a good offense and Projection.

REPUG DECODER -- Wave decoder in air next to Repug and it will set off BS alert when they open their mouths. Also, Decoder translates into Human anything Repug says, quickly and easily.

Examples:

1) They accuse you of something-- Repug decoder will determine that they are projecting this onto you, but it is actually their crime/worst fear of exposure, etc.
2) they label the Dems something-- it is exactly what they are doing. "tax and spend" -- tax (the middle class) and spend (the upper class). Repug decoder will alert you with siren when BS detector is set off in your vicinity.
3) play the race card -- duh. Decoder has four fingers that point back at Repug when it determines false accusations/projections.
4) Nation of whiners- who is always whining? the thin skinned Repugs. Decoder takes accusation of Repug and repeats it LOUDLY ten times back at Offending Repug, because decoder knows who the guilty party is.
5) Elitists- right. who are the rich heirs and who are the working people? Again, decoder will alert with siren, point fingers, and repeat accusation back at Repug, where it belongs, for you.
6) Arrogant -- John McCain isn't arrogant? People have been accusing him of that his entire life. See above.
7) accuse Dems of finance campaign funniness- check their books. you will find corruption. Decoder will print out a list of areas you need to check after particularly telling accusation like this one. Decoder will suggest hiring outside auditor to monitor Repug donations in this case. And point four fingers, alarm will activate, and it will repeat accusation loudly to Repug.

and on and on and on...

Easy peasy, once you have the Repub Decoder.

7. Being a Fiscal Conservative has nothing to do with how much you spend.

It has everything to do with how much you MAKE before you spend. Then the Republicans get real conservative with little or nothing.

[ihavenobias]

8. That sounds like a semantic squabble to me n/t

[Quantess]

10. No, the republicans get wasteful with what they get.

WASTEFUL.

Wasting money, in this case, mostly means giving the national treasury away to your friends.

I would bet that G.W. Bush is the president who has been most wasteful of taxpayers' money. Ever.

13. The Repubs call themselves Fiscal Conservatives. The numbers speak for

themselves. Regardless if the definition agrees with yours, the bottom line is the same and this makes the point.

[ihavenobias]

16. Well said n/t

[urbuddha]

11. Fantastic !

Everyone should send this to everyone they know. America can not survive anymore debt.

[gateley]

12. Okay. So my fantasy 527 group runs the following spot:

This visual, full screen, with voice over reading the copy that is on the cartoon, and naming the names.

Morph into John McCain with the headline Fiscal Conservative over him, with current deficit superimposed (one of those counters showing how it's increasing by the second would be cool) and just say something like, we have no more money to support a fiscal conservative. We can't afford John McCain. Or something.

This is just so cut and dry, it would get attention, not require a lot of "figuring it out" and maybe get people to SEE.

14. I also LOVE the "my friends"... n/t
