Goddamn, they drive these fucking catchphrases home like a jackhammer.

Why don't people get suspicious when they hear conservative media whores saying the same things over and over on the same day? Do they just think it's some kind of incredible coincidence?

It's a lot like "liberal hatefest" with regard to the anti-Bush rallies. Regurgitated talking points.

2. Well they're only for an up or down vote
when they're pretty sure it will go in the Republican's favor. Otherwise they will want to "express their rights by fillibustering".

3. They didn't seem to like Clinton's "up" vote in the 1996 election.
So they impeached him for a blowjob.

5. It's just the same as their black & white, good vs. evil
These people are pathological. They demonstrate a complete lack of ability to understand nuance, to consider mitigating circumstances, to assume that things aren't necessarily "yes or no."

But they're playing to their moronic base, not to us.

8. Smart people use birth control and condoms. Dumb people multiply fast.
It might sound harsh, but it is sadly very true.

9. I so agree with you! I heard the C-Span host this morning
talking with Sen. Harkin, and the host must of used that term at least a dozen times in 4 or 5 sentences talking with Harkin about his stem cell bill. "Up or down vote" means NO COMPROMISE...it's a right wing code word, and I'm sick of it. :puke:

10. I asked a repuke if they know what that indeed was...
They got pissed and walked away.

They just blather on and on, but if you asked them the details, they haven't a clue.

I found this to be a simple and effective way to defeat their bizarre ideology.
