Cut and Run sounds like something you'd hear on a playground..
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 06:16 PM by Beelzebud
Why is our political discourse in this country based on such juvenile crap?

Flip flop, and now cut and run. This is like grade school drama bullshit. Instead of talk issues, the republicans just talk shit...

1. They are trying to talk to people with grade school level minds.
The human herd is too lazy to think.

2. Cut and Run
is what Chickenhawks do when offered an enlistment form.

You are right, conservatives have changed the tone in this country to slogans and screaming and shouting and hate. I believe they should expend that energy ensuring we stay the course by signing on the dotted line.

3. Fine. The alternative is Occupy/Soldiers Die. I pick C&R.

5. I'm saying the term is stupid and misleading, and purposly dumb.
I'm not saying we don't need to get the fuck out of Iraq.

I'm bitching because the whole idea is being framed by a bunch of people that act like school yard bullies.

Democrats aren't suggesting we "cut and run". They're suggesting we start using our brains and get the fuck out of there..

9. I understand completely, and agree with you. They employ the
Johnnie Cochran tactic of slamming a slogan out there which somehow shuts down all reasoned debate. It's an (illegal imo) occupation, civil war, etc. There is no "victory' to be had -- not one any con has defined such "victory" yet. Bush?Rummie's "strategy" is crisis management and their definition of success is a moving target. The occupation of Iraq is simply the worst military misadventure in at least a century.

I figure those are really good reasons to discuss or options.

4. Three words.
That's all the average voter can understand. No new taxes. It's your money. Just say no. Whip inflation now. Kerry's a flip-flopper. Stay the course. Cut and run.

We need to do the same thing. Maybe set it to doo-whop music and have it get stuck in their heads.
