talking points that piss you off

such and such is "voting against their own interest"  (the assumption being that self-interest must be defined as narrowly as possible and is predictable to someone thousands of miles away)

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.

I thought a talking point was something someone actually said. It involves rhetoric and argumentation to make a point.  If you put words in someone's mouth to characterize their position, that's not the same thing - even if you put quotation marks around it.

"The Democrats are the party of Science"

especially when said by liberal arts majors

It pisses you off because it's true.

Only if all of the scientific world consisted of evolution, embryonic stem cell research, and global warming. All of that together isn't worth terribly much when the left is constantly trying to divert educational resources toward arts and humanities fields and encouraging people to major in something other than hard science since whether a field is practical or useful should apparently not be a consideration (at least according to most of the people on this board). Most of the liberals who are complaining about federal funding for embryonic stem cell research don't even understand why we would want to fund it instead of using adult stem cells.

The point is going over your head, I see. Democrats are the party of science because it's  overwhelmingly supported by scientists in a way that few parties around the world are.

The "science is defined as whatever a majority of scientists support" argument.
