3. OK here we go - serious this time.
Family values (as practiced by those that have none...Newt, Bob Livingston, etc).

Fight them there, instead of here (which assumes that they will only stay in one spot)

Saving (anything - Social Security, forests) while pushing policies the destroy said same.

6. Let's not make this a political issue; Finger pointing
We're getting help to those who need help (when it was a lie); toxic soup; toxic sludge; "Katrina Blows"; "I got blown by Katrina"; anything Hannity, Rush, Bush, Rumsfeld, or Brown has to say.
