Let's translate some Republican talking points.
When they say "Support our troops" they really mean "Support our MIC." When they say "Universal Healthcare is Socialism" they really mean "Protect the bank accounts of private insurers." Feel free to add to the list.

1. We shouldn't have to be doing this. The GOP was dead
Voters kicked them to the curb in 2006 and 2008

Reganomics died

We shouldn't even have to be talking about this relic of a political party

3. What do they mean when they say Compassionate Conservative?
We deeply care about our poor persecuted Corporations?

7. here's a new one
When they say, "The President says he's Christian, so I'll take him at his word" they really mean..."I really think he is Muslim but until I can prove it, I will publicly say I believe him. In the meantime, feel free to believe he is Muslim yourself (and spread the lies)."
