Economic Girly Men (the message we need to get out)

Some caller to MSNBC had a great point. He said the quip by Schwartzenegger "To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie men!" was disheartening to those who had lost jobs.

THE REPUBLICAN MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO HAVE LOST JOBS AND ARE DISCOURAGED ABOUT THE ECONOMY: DON'T BE GIRLIE MEN. That will to over well in PA, OH and MI.

2. Yes, indeed

Arnold, with his untold riches, can be soooo clever insulting everybody who has lost a job, everyone who is drowing in debt, everyone that struggles to get clothes for their kids this schoolyear. Girly men? These midwest and southern workers who have lost everything, and are reduced to working part-time for half the pay? Girly men? That's what he says? What an obnoxious scum.

3. I missed the speech, but that's an amazing quote

You're right, we should roll with it.

Hey, all you who are struggling to make ends meet: You're GIRLYMEN!

Hey, all you veterans who got Purple Hearts but didn't bleed enough for our standards: YOU WANT A BAND-AID?!

Hey, all you people who changed your minds about anything in the past 20 years: FLIP-FLOPPER!!

Yet they call themselves "compassionate!"

4. They will have to really eat shit about this in the next two months

the numbers on Friday aren't going to look too brisk, and then he has just one more fucking chance in October. And, don't forget, chimp isn't going to have austrian on stage with him at the debates, neither will cheney.
