Political cliches I'd like to see go away

[del]

President Obama is a cliche I would like to see go away.

Oh yeah, that reminds me:

"Socialist communist Marxist"

.

The truth ain't a cliche.

how would you know?

I'm glad "gravitas" is about dead

Fair share

No shit! Some empty suit pretending to be a "Champion of the downtrodden" using this overused and obtuse phrase. Doesn't it just make you wanna puke in your soup?

True dat!

It had to die. When you're in the tank for a president who slow jams the news and has his own mug on The View, "gravitas" is not a word you want people to keep in mind.

 

[Immanuel]

"Community Organizer"

"Obamabot"

Oh... wait, I don't care about whether or not the phrase goes away. I want The Community Organizer and his bots to go away.

"Let me be clear..." Translation: I am gonna lie through my fucking teeth.

Big Oil (as opposed to Small Oil?)

"The most fortunate among us..."

"The most blessed of us..." Jerry Brown is currently using this to pass some bullshit legalized theft of Ca. Taxpayer money. Blessed? Yes, Governess Brown, you hit the nail on the proverbial head. People with more money than others have been "blessed" with it. Like the cashe just rained down from God Almighty.

Tax cuts for the wealthy

I can't wait for the silly season to be over, and here's a start on some cliches from both parties I'd like to see fried in pig fat and summarily tossed into the fires of hell:

"Failed policies"

"Dog whistle"

"Take our country back"

"The most important election of our lifetime"

Any others?

Yea, if I hear 'hope and change', 'forward', 'Osama is dead, GM is alive' or anything about greedy, racist Republicans, I will puke.

It doesn't really matter how things are said. People seem to have made up their minds and aren't listening no matter how valid the argument may be. We are screwed if we stay the current course, no doubt. We can't balance the budget because the spending is greater than revenue. Obama has crappy ass policies that have made the problems worse instead of better. Obamacare is the worst tax bill ever to have been shoved through against the will of the people. We have too damn many illegal immigrants because we entice them to come with handouts. We have too many able bodied people on welfare because many are plain losers who drop out of school and do every stupid thing you can think of. Liberals seem to push for socialism, which has never ever worked and never, ever will.

But, if you are an able bodied person who feeds off the tax payers by receiving benefits you didn't earn, you simply don't give a shit what happens to the country as long as you get what you want.

The ones, like myself, who face a tax bill every April and could really stand to keep more of our own money to use for our own retirement or our own kid's education, really hate socialists, communists and Marxists.

"Partisan" As if not having a core beliefs is a good thing....Only fucking idiots cant make up their mind.

And who is it, precisely, who "can't make up their mind"? Who is it, precisely, who does not have core beliefs?

Not everyone is a partisan -- is it that you simply don't know what it's like to think for yourself?

[Mr. Peepers]

"Double down"
"Job Creators" ***Please, please, please euthanize this myth***
"Producers"
"Liberal Media Bias"

That was a very mature, articulate and reasonable response, but unfortunately you chose to answer none of the questions I asked. Also unfortunately, such diversion is a standard partisan response, and I am used to it.

Thanks, I guess.
