Words I'm sick of hearing coming out of politicians' mouths:

[valerief]

God/Amen/blessed (cuz separation of church and state, duh)

hardworking (as opposed to whom? better is "the majority of Americans who aren't in Congress&quot

middle class (this has become meaningless; better is "the majority of Americans who aren't wealthy&quot

Of course, there are the GOP buzzwords we all hate, starting with "bootstraps," but I'm sick of the good guys using bullshit words, too.

You got any?

[Wilms]

1. "Working Families"

Even Bernie uses it.

I thought we had child labor laws? What about the disabled, the retired?

[valerief]

2. Boom! That's a great one. I'm totally sick of that, too. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. "Our children."

Don't adults count, too? And what about those who don't have children?

"The American people." What other people would American politicians be talking about during an American election?

[valerief]

6. Bingo. I'm soooo sick of those, too. nt

[Mika]

4. "The USA is the greatest nation on the planet."

[valerief]

7. We're all pretty tired of that blatant lie. nt

[JayhawkSD]

5. I no longer refer to "middle class."

We no longer have one. I refer to "working class." The unemployed are included in the working class.

[valerief]

8. We're just voting ourselves into a feudal system, aren't we? nt

[pinboy3niner]

9. "Job creators" for the biggest beneficiaries of tax cuts, the very, very wealthy. nt

[valerief]

11. And the jobs they create are in Asia. nt

[Wilms]

18. Actually, it's closer to enslavement.

[Shrike47]

10. 'Growing the economy'. Apparently, watered with what trickles down.

[valerief]

12. Another good one! In practical terms, what does growing the economy mean?

Usually it's just to make rich people richer and that's the extent of it. We don't give a shit about that. What about everyone else?

[shadowmayor]

13. Family Values

American exceptionalism, job creators, Ronald Reagan, support our troops, carpet bombing, bring back (anything fits here), restore, and Ronnie Reagan again!

[valerief]

14. That's quite a good list, especially "support our troops" and "American exceptionalism." nt

[world wide wally]

15. Pro "life"

As if the rest of us oppose it

[valerief]

19. I know. It's a ridiculous term.

[treestar]

16. They know who they are talking to

American like to think of themselves as hard working. The middle class is deemed a good thing to have - interesting Americans are so satisfied with it. No politician caters to our desire to be rich or all be in the rich class. I think they will use God as long as they think a majority is religious and to avoid accusations of not being religious.

[valerief]

20. In other words, they reinforce Teh Stoooopid. nt

[kimbutgar]

17. I dislike the term, " family values"

There are so many different types of families but in rethug eyes only a straight Christian married couple with children ( preferably white) are the only ones with" family values"

[valerief]

21. Boom! I hate that one, too. This thread has a good list of everything politicians say but shouldn't

to people with two brain cells to rub together.

[malaise]

22. Then avoid Cruz on Iran

Fundie BS on steroids

[valerief]

23. I don't watch ANY of those GOP assholes. They just piss me off all the more.

I watched ONE of their debates a couple months ago. That kind of crazy will hold me for another decade. I can tolerate just so much EVIL and STOOOOPIDITY.
