The Dems use talking points all the time. What's wrong with it?

[expatguy]

How about this for "talking points" - If you want to say the GOP did it for political reasons.

The World's Superpower and Champion of Human Rights around the globe is starving and dehydrating a disabled woman to death and underage children who bring her water are being handcuffed and arrested.

Does that sum it up? Did I miss anything?

If China decides to put a bullet in the brain of all their retarded school children tomorrow, what can we say or do?

Next time we want to whine because Libya or Egypt is on the United Nations human rights council we better learn to bite our lip.

There is your perspective from overseas.

Nothing wrong with Dem or Republican talking points...except when the Dems distribute a fake copy of Republican talking points trying to insinuate that the Republicans were doing this for political gain only. Despicable...the Dems learned nothing from Rathergate.

There is nothing wrong with talking points, only these so-called talking points are fake. There is a problem with that, especially when they are being used by the left to somehow prove that Republicans are only motivated by poltiics.

Talking points, as other powerline points pointed out in earlier postings, are about sharing with all the best arguments to make before the media and the public, and perhaps even the Senate. But who would make such talking points that say things like it will make our pro-life base happy etc.? What kind of persuasive talking point is that? That might be a strategy, but it is certainly not a talking point. The whole thing is a farce.
