particularly annoying talking points:

-"clinton reduced the debt." no president has reduced the debt in my lifetime, this isn't hard to google either. what happened was congress stole money from social security (as usual) and that resulted in the deficit going down a bit for awhile. and then they kept borrowing from it but still managed to run massive deficits under bush.


Actually even taking into account the money borrowed from social security, there was a surplus in 1999 and 2000.

1. "Independents vote for whoever is the most moderate"
2. "Most people don't pay taxes"
3. "10 out of 10 terrorists vote Democrat"
4. "Pro-choice people are bad Catholics, but pro-death penalty pro-war and anti-poor people are good Catholics"

i'm not aware of anyone who uses that as a talking point.

Everyone heard about Kerry being denied communion.

This was actually an interesting thread despite some weird tangents including some by trolls.

Here's an addition I can't believe wasn't mentioned: Anything about "Reagan Democrats". Words can not describe how much of a stupid f**king term this is. And perhaps the only thing more idiotic than it is some of the areas that it's used to describe. Anyone who says this basically should be considered of having no credibility whatsoever, period.

Unless you mean Reagan supporters who are now Democrats, but yeah, that's not what they mean.
