"Free market" and "de-regulation" can now be refuted with simple phrases
Free market = outsourcing

De-regulation = sub-prime crisis

Republicans have been the master of simple phrases to slogan their ideas with. Now is our chance to refute their bullshit in simple terms that everyone can understand.

2. Everytime a GOPer says free market I cringe a little
Particularly Mitt Romney who panders to Michigan about how he's the guy to bring manufacturing jobs back and then talks about the free market like it's a girl he's trying to have a makeout session with. What a bastard.

3. "The only place you see a free market is in the speeches of politicians"
so said Dwayne Andreas, CEO of Archer Daniels Midland.

Thats been the problem with our side. Too long descriptions and it turns off people. We need catch phrases. Veterans sleep under bridgges. Short and effective.
