Focus groups prefer DEMs with "Dry Powder." NO WET POWDERS!!!
And God knows I do too. Who the hell wants wet powder???

Keep that cotton-picking moisture OFF my powder!!!!

STOP complaining about DEMs- some day the strategists who lost the last 3 elections will unleash the dam and let the liquids flow over our powder.

Remember- we are "Keeping our powder dry for the next (insert issue, bill, Bush scandal, appointee, etc )."

We must HORDE our DRY powder puffs-for that great golden day that lies over the next rainbow- Now, on to victory!!!!

3. Keep your powder dry for "the next one."
If you say it everytime the DEMs cave on an issue, it helps things make more sense. Who the hell wants wet powder? NO ONE!!!

Dont ask me how it works- it just DOES.

7. We haven't had any big enough issues yet to get excited about.
I mean, no biggie that we've killed 2,000 of our own in Iraq, and 100,000 "terrorist" men, women, children and babies. Why get all worked up that we've killed 1,000 people in New Orleans? And the conversion of our government into a kleptocracy is no business of ours - it's just business as usual. So what if all this has been accomplished by stealing elections? It would be rude to point that out.

Let's wait for something important before we set down the cognac and the cigar, get out of the overstuffed chair, and say a few words about it.

10. I think this is how we have impressed the swingvoters so much.
They like dry powder, and who can blame 'em?

4. It actually refers to gunpowder, not cosmetic powder.
Old-fashioned guns (like "muskets" and "blunderbusses") used gunpowder to shoot pellets instead of bullets. If your gunpowder was wet, the gun would not fire.

14. Are you actually of the opinion that there is someone posting here
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 01:31 PM by Jackpine Radical
who doesn't know that?

A couple of suggestions for future posts:

You could point out that "Moran" and "Hugh" are not correct spellings.

You could point out that if we keep posting about Project X, Agent Mike will figure out what we're talking about.

15. I thought it was pancake mix.
And that we were saving it for when the "Mad Max" days come.

Either way- powders are powders- and they will only keep if they are DRY.

Would it be the same corpwhorate owned MSM's that waged their "War Against Gore" and committed treason against the people? As far as I am concerned they can go Cheney them self!
