"Kitchen Table issues" to be new mantra for democrats
Rush limbaugh ^ | 9/902 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 09/09/2002 9:36:06 AM PDT by finnman69

Rush just nailed a great pickup. He played a clip of Terry MacAuliffe using the phrase " kitchen table issues" over and over. Look for this phrase to be the RATS desperate attempt to get the focus off Iraq and on to issues wheere they can spend money.

Rush said the Rats are desperate and will fail miserably in their attempt to shift the debate. They asked for discussion on Iraq and now they got it up the ying yang.

Will the new phrase officially replace "at the end of the day"?

No..no it'll be "at the end of the day, the kitchen table issues are...." blah..blah etc.

Got it.

I just listened to this and "over and over" is an understatement. It would be more appropriate to say it was used consecutively about 15 times in 10 seconds.

"Kitchen table issues" is a direct appeal to the braindead dingbat soccer mom contingent.

If they're still trying to shore up that base, they are indeed in trouble.

We'll have to keep reminding the public that if national security fails, there won't be a kitchen table...

I have heard Gephardt previously use this "kitchen table" expression.

When the Dems come to realize that not everyone has a kitchen table, they will propose a program to provide one for every family in the country.

I knew this situation would arise during election year. I have continually told my GOP associates that defense and security would be the topics in the years to come and they continually talked about how scared they were of democrats running on typical touchy-feely social issues. My suggestion was that the GOP runs ads with the word "security" attached to everything.

This is a lame attempt to change the subject and I hope they keep it up because if played right, it is a losing strategy. It flies in direct conflict with the reality the American people live in - one filled with murdering terrorists.

We can throw "Kitchen Table Issues" in the bucket with other favorites:
"rugged individualism"
"get tough with hate crimes"
"targeted tax cut"

"for the children"
"targeted business incentives"
"Why does everyone have to keep bringing up Clinton?"

Might the DemocRATS be using the stolen silverware complements of the Clintons?

The stole it from my former Governor- Zell Miller- who coined it here several years ago. Some time in the mid-1990's.

Why does the 'stupid party' have to keep getting reminded? Rush should get the other half of his brain out of the hole behind his back. This just might help him realize what the 'rats' already do recognize that the 'family economic state' and 'are our kids going to be drafted' might just be on people's (voters, that is) mind at the kitchen table. Bush, the Edler, rode the Internationalist War Bronco to defeat. Get bin Laden, over and out and restart the economy. It's 'the kitchen table, stupid'.

I find that it just adds more "gravitas" to their rhetoric.

That's true. These bastids haven't had a meal on the kitchen table in their lives!

So they come up with a new buzzword to spur the suckermoms curiosity.

If it was 40 years ago, it would have been “lunchbox issues”.

Funny thing... the suckers will buy into it!

"Kitchen table" stuff is popular among the braindead. A physician named Naomi Remen wrote a book, Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal,in 1997 that did very well.

I'd met her years earlier and considered her dishonest to the point of dangerous. She was making an excellent living presenting workshops, acting as self-styled guru, on the basis of having Chron's Disease. The picture of health, she'd introduce herself by saying, "I'm dying of an incurable disease." She made an extraordinarily good living by dying professionally for more than 30 years...she's still alive and writing books. Need I say, all on the Kitchen Table theme? She was and remains a model liberal lying creep.

The issues are - I want dinner ready when I get home. I want someone else to shop for it, cook it, serve it, and clean up afterwards.

- The DemocRATS.

You know what we talk about at the kitchen table?
9/11. Terrorism. Radical Islam. The need to husband our liberty....etc.

How about 'Kitchen Table Security'?

Way too little, way too late.

The only kitchen table issue we're worried about is making sure it remains free of chemical, bacteriogical or radiological agents.
