Post your bullshit Republican spin!
The neo-con's favorite pasttime is coming up with garbage excuses for their ridiculous, unAmerican positions.

For example, when Barbara Boxer asked Condi Rice why on EARTH she wrote a letter to oppose legislation passed unanimously by the Senate condeming the use of torture, Rice responded that we shouldn't afford the protections of the Geneva Convention to terrorists.

Democrats can say something as banal and obvious as "It's wrong to kill babies," and a Republican will come up with some reason to prove the righteousness of infanticide.

So, DUers, in this thread we put forth fairly obviously true blanket statements, and then come up with the opposing disingenuous (and sometimes hilarious!) neo-con spin!

I'll go first:

All American children should have health care.

1. Health Care is not a right. It's a privilige for the rich and successful
ANd besides, Repubs don't like health care for all because HEALTHY PEOPLE FIGHT BACK...

3. It's the government's responsibility to ensure that
healthcare is available and affordable to all Americans, and the best way we can do that is to reduce frivoulous suits brought by trial lawyers which raise the cost of healthcare.

10. The exit polls were right, Bush cheated.
The Mitofsky report shows that Democrats like to talk to young college girls, because they are all like Clinton, even the women.

14. Really, the implication that the exit polls turned into some sort of
mating ritual is thinly veiled in the report and the Repugs are picking up on it.

13. Here's another one: It's important that the federal government has a
balanced budget.

Response: I am so SICK of these big-government Democrats and their "balanced budgets." Don't they know we have children without health care???

17. We all must thank President Bush for his steady leadership and resolve.
He kept use safe from terrorists. All he wants to do is protect Americans.
