Good comeback lines for Kerry to use in the next debate?
If Bush uses the "we've turned the corner" line, Kerry can say:

"I think the president has turned so many corners now he's gotten lost."

or

remind people that the last president who said we were turning the corner was Hoover.

3. That's too bad.
It was such an easy target.

2. Those are great
Also, if he says that thing about "hard work" again maybe he should say that it's interesting he should say that since he's spent more time on vacation than any other president in memory.
or "I'm sure it's hard for someone whose never had to work hard in his entire life."

4. The vacation line is good, but the other one is too harsh and irrelevant
People only care about the now. And, while true, that * has never had to work hard, such a statement made by Kerry would give * sympathy votes.

The "hard work"/vacationing line is perfect, IF Kerry can say it that doesn't drop him down to *'s level. As we say on Thursday, * acted like a 4 year old.

5. How about
"Yes, it's really hard work running such a great country into the ground and continuing to dig it deeper and deeper in the hole."

Or "It's really hard work to ignore the reality that you've made a huge mistake and pretend that we're on the right path."

8. better line would be:
"it is not 'hard work' to get a tax break which is the only think the highly wealth have been asked to do by u."

make the args over policy; not directly over personality (the voters prefer a more subtle approach).

9. Hit him with the outsourcing of good paying jobs
I want to hear the chimp try to defend the indefensible. Good jobs are going overseas because it helps the big corporations bottom line and * is just fine with that. It is going to kill the standard of living here in the USA not to mention our manufacturing base. In twenty years we will have to buy our tanks and planes and our cars from Mexico and China at the rate we're going.
