These are a few of my favorite repub catch phrases:
"The way forward".

"Road-map to peace".

"Freedom is on the march in the middle east".

"Support the troops".

"We do not torture".

"Compassionate conservatism".

"Stay the course".

"Cut and run".

"We will fight them over there so...(you know the rest)"

"Our resolve is strong".

"There will be victory in Iraq".

"There will be no timetable".

"We've got Osama on the run".

"America and the world are safer with Saddam behind bars".

They always boil the message down to fit on a bumper-sticker or button, even the letter 'w' on a button says something. They write these slogans to throw in our faces as if we were all stupid, when really it's only 89% or so that are so stupid as to believe this crap.

What are some of your faves?

15. The one that made me begin to HATE Repukes with a passion... "Culture of Life."
That "Culture of Life" nastiness was the final straw that made me realize that the Republickers weren't just political opponents, but a modern-day Nazi movement.

17. I HATE the use of the word "folks"
* started using it, of course inappropriately, when he referred to terrorists as "folks". I hate it that this word has become so prevalent. It was usually used for family in the past; sort of a corny, Mayberryesque 50's substitute for "parents". To me it's like fingernails on a blackboard because it's "family talk" used to refer to everyone and anyone.

I know this is not a catchphrase, per se, but it's a word that the Chimp, and now everyone else, uses that drives me batty. I'm NOT part of his family, the citizens of this country are not a family (Katrina proved that); the terrorists (whomever they are) are not my family; and this is not the 50's.
