Retorts for Democrats to use on Republicans...

[wyldwolf]

When they tell you raising the minimum wage is a bad idea, say...

"Lifting people out of poverty is good for America. Why do you hate America?"

When they tell you that enacting the provisions of the 9/11 commission is a bad idea, say...

"The 9/11 commission was a bipartisan effort to make America safer. You don't want that? Why do you hate America?"

[RobertSeattle]

1. Can I just tell them to "Talk to the Hand"?

:evilgrin:

[indepat]

2. A simple "Why to you hate America and our Constitution?" should suffice

by putting the bas*ards on the defensive. :patriot:

3. when they say - what's your plan for iraq you say

first of all it's not incumbent upon the democrats to magically fix george bush's egregeous clusterfuck. if there were a magic bullet, easy solution, it would have been done already. there is no solution to iraq. just hard choices to be made.

in addition they've been a de facto majority for like 24 hours and already they've forced more accountability and honesty from bush (rummy's head) than we've seen in 6 years.

it's a start.

4. hmm, we won, why do americans hate america?

[Dr Fate]

5. I like: "Please- stand aside and let us fix this- you have done enough..."

"...You guys have been wrong about EVERYTHING so far- time to let the adults take over..."

[FSogol]

6. "We won. Get over it" n/t

7. Here's a Question For You ...

what will be the Democrat retort to the many, soon to come, Republican quotes BLAME PELOSI! ???

[wyldwolf]

8. Here's an answer for you

...blame Pelosi for higher wages? Sure.
...blame Pelosi for lower interest rates on college loans? OK, fine.
...blame Pelosi for making America safer by enacting all the provisions of the 9/11 commission? She's guilty as charged.

Next?

9. Blame Pelosi - For the TRUTH!

[blondeatlast]

10. When they say "obstructionist" say "We work for the American people.

Bad legislation/nominees don't make America stronger."

And while I understand where you are coming from, can we PLEASE retire the "hate America" meme (except when applied to the leaders of the RNC and this administration)?

[TroglodyteScholar]

11. We really just need one retort, and one retort only...

"Don't worry yourself over it. My guys are in charge now."
