I do this:

Have you seen the national debt lately? The Republicans are obviously the "borrow and blow it" party.

16. Nah!
You just put everything on the nation's credit card.

Anyone who's ever had a credit card knows that you never have to pay back a dime!

7. The "Borrow and Waste" Party.
In EVERY Repuke Admin since Reagone took office, the national debt skyrockets with NOTHING to show for it except bloat, red tape and rich people getting enormously richer.

9. Actually Dems should turn the table on the GOP because they have been the real tax and spend party
since Reagan.

10. tax & spend-yes
tax the multinational billionaires & spend on
America, making it a better, stronger, up-to-date nation. The gop just keeps editing those parts out, but they always make deficits that stretch from horizon to horizon.

11. I remember the days we taxed and spent, and semi-sorta-balanced the books.
That was a looooooooooooong time ago.

17. really my point was more
that rather than be defensive and saying back essentially "i know you are but what am i?" we should be hammering it home relentlessly that no matter what the issue, no matter what the question, no matter what the problem, their solution is either to drill more or kill more or both. just hang it around their necks like a dead chicken.
