"The devil we know"
Edited on Fri Oct-01-04 04:48 PM by realFedUp
I've heard of two people who said this at
different times...one is definitely a Republican
and doesn't like Bush but said it was better
to keep with the "devil she knew" than switch
to one she didn't. Another, one who is a
feminist and I thought liberal used the same
phrase.

How to switch their thinking?

2. OMG
Where is the common sense out there? It's SO OBVIOUS who the most intelligent is. I'm sick of having such a damn stupid president! I would think everyone would want someone who can communicate and work well with others.

3. I just find it an oxymoronic statement...
You know how bad things are and you're
willing to stay with that agenda or even
far worse just because you are now familiar
with that way of doing things?

I want my country back from the devil
and his back room boys.

4. How exactly can Kerry scew up worse than Bush?
I realize its hard to fight the "can't change the horsemen in the middle of the Apocalypse" argument but we certainly can.

Kerry will bring of season professionals BACK into government, maybe even keep some of the less wacked Bush/Cheney Administration members for a while to help in the transiton.

6. Usually, it's a merely rhetorical phrase, but in the case of Junior....
...the "devil we know" may in fact be closely allied to Satan! :evilfrown:

8. tell her the Devil she knows opposes stem cell research and
may appoint at least one Supreme Court Justice in his next (G-d forbid) term AND probably overturn her right to choose. Does she have a son/grandson/nephew? He may be called up to fight the next neocon adventure- in Syria? Iran?

Tell her the Devil she doesn't know will not do these things and supports scientific research to find cures for ailments which may affect her and her familiy in the future.
