How Kerry should respond to the "liberal label" from * tonight.
"Well Mr. President, I wish I could respond with the word 'conservative' but I can't think of anything 'conservative' about you. A $X trillion deficit is not conservative. Giving the federal government more leverage into the lives of it's citizens via the Patriot Act is not conservative. (name a couple of other things that aren't conservative here). You are, in fact, NOT conservative Mr. President. You merely do the bidding of your big business, corporate masters. I wish you were a conservative Mr. President, but you don't "conserve" anything."

That ought to shut his ass up.

2. Charlie would allow bush to respond by saying...
"Pres. Bush, now that you've been stooge-slapped, how do you respond to Sen. Kerry's comments?"

3. Rushing to war, but not as a last resort, is NOT conservative.
The last time we had a "liberal" president in the White House, we balanced the budget. What have you done, Mr. President?

5. I think whenever someone uses "liberal" as an insult, we ..

..should respond "..and the Irish!" because it seems to me that this irrational hatred of "liberalism" is no different than the stupidity displayed by the same kind of people in the 19th century when the Irish were so hated by the rest of white- America.

Yes, filthy drunken Irish - filthy liberal. No difference. I'm tired of "defending" myself.

6. I agree, I always say, "if caring about the less fortunate, elderly, and
defenseless people of this world is considered liberal, then by all means, call me a liberal!"

16. Let's look at the label conservative
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 11:39 AM by Robert Oak
A conservative used to be associated with fiscal responsibility. You are not fiscally responsible.

A conservative used to be associated with fair trade negotiations. You have refused to negotiate trade agreements that are fair with the American people.

A conservative used to be associated with strong security at home. Our borders and our ports are no more secure than before 9/11.

By definition, Mr. President, I am more conservative than you.
