I'm tired of trying to refute liberals' claims against George Bush and the U.S. with discussions based on logic. They don't listen.
We need a list of quick and easy one-liners that can get to the core of the issue and silence the liberals, or at least give them something to think about.
Here are a few liberalisms (in quotes) with a one-line rebuttal to each. Please add yours to the list.
"Bush started this war."
No, the terrorists did.
"It's like Japan attacked America, and then America attacked Mexico."
No, it's like Japan attacked the U.S., and the U.S. attacked Japan and Germany.
"Kerry will only tax the rich."
Consider yourself rich.
(Kerry thinks you are rich but he isn't.)
"Kerry is a war hero."
That's what the Communists in Vietnam are saying.
"It's my right to vote."
You have a right to vote one time, in one place, and only for yourself.

When you point out to Liberals, that Nazism is not the opposite of, but a variant of Communism it makes them foam at the mouth, which I find very soothing indeed.
Yeah, the only reason Stalin was pissed at Hitler was his brand of socialism had more support and didn't crush Germany's economy.

let's end this thread. when a liberal gives a specific position that bush takes, simply state
"so did kerry at one time or another, what's his current position on that?"

"Bush started this war."
And he'll end it too if you give him half a chance.
"It's like Japan attacked America, and then America attacked Mexico."
No it's like Japan attacked America with the help of Mexico, and hiding there too, so we went to the source.
"Kerry will only tax the rich."
Just after he taxes you too.
"Kerry is a war hero."
Yeah, to the Communists in Vietman.

All I say is, Vote for Kerry and knock Hillary out of the running for 08. I don't think so.....I'm voting for Bush.
Go Hillary. You should see the look on their face. They can't argue, they can't say anything......Don't argue with them, just tell them you are voting for Bush so Hillary can run in 08......

A great way to frustrate a liberal is to tell them God is guiding President Bush.
I prefer, "So, what do you think of Osama's endorsement of your boy Kerry?"

George Bush went to Iraq for his Daddy..
George Bush senior is not Blairs daddy or Howards daddy. Who's your daddy?

Didn't your mother teach you not to care about what other people think about you..She taught you to do the right thing instead. right?
To: mlocher
I've decided to stop talking sense to them. Why fight, join them on their level. It is so funny to watch their reactions. It is almost like they are on overload and ready to explode any second. They don't know how to handle this line of thinking....Of course, the secret is to keep a straight face when you are saying this plus look at them like they are maroons and this concept is of course way over their heads.....

They [liberals] don't know how to handle this line of thinking...liberals are incapable of handling any line of thinking. for me, the straight face thing might be hard to do...

I really like making their head explode when they mention that W was selected not elected, and I say "Good, that makes him eligible to be elected for a THIRD TERM!

"I'm not kidding - arguing with Leftists is just like this."
LOL. So true.
A black male coworker and I were doing a little sparring and he said, "Bush is riding around on his Daddy's money!"
I pointed out that Kerry rides around on the money of his rich heiress and he says "Aww, now you're just hatin'. He can't help it if he's a Pimp."

Sadly, I don't think that one would work on a coworker who claimed "Bush is the reason why we were attacked on 9/11...We didn't have all these problems when Clinton was in charge...bin Laden liked Clinton."
I kid you not.

"Kerry will only tax the rich"
You can't tax the rich. In a capitalist economy (which history proves is the only one that works) the "rich" control wages and prices (you may not like that, but it's better than government control of wages and prices).
So... if you tax the rich, the wages you get go down, and the prices you pay go up.
So... A tax on the rich is paid by you.
So... A tax on the rich is a tax on you.

Well, one certainly can bank on the Left's ignorance of anything more then a couple of news cycles ago.
