The speech writers on both sides are earning their pay. So far, for me, it's a tie.
DNC (Ted Strickland - Former Ohio Gov.) - "If Mitt was Santa Claus, he'd fire the reindeer and outsource the elves." RNC (Mitt Romney) - "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise…is to help you and your family." What are the lines you remember, so far? |
This is hard to comment on because your favorite zinger from Mittens is a misrepresentation at best and lie at worst. I can come up with Los of super zingers if truth and facts aren't required. |
OK - I missed some of the DNC (Biden on in the background now - no zingers yet) but I did laugh when the NM governor talked about going out to lunch with some Repubs (when she was running on a democratic platform) and afterwards said to her husband "Damn - we're Republicans!".
Since these threads often go badly...to the fact checkers, I may have this a little wrong and did not verify her statement on snopes! |
Deval Patrick on Mitt Romney as MA governor: "more interested in having the job than in doing the job"
|
"Politics doesn't have to be a bloodsport" -- Clinton. That actually made me well up. |
John Kerry: "Ask Osama Bin Laden whether he's better off today than he was four years ago." |
I missed that! Ha! |
Granholm: In Romney's world the cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft |
Lily Ledbetter:
"Maybe 23 cents doesn't seem like a lot to someone with a Swiss bank account." |
The one about Mitt's well-traveled money summering on Cayman beaches and wintering on Swiss ski slopes. |
College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life. |
Pretty much everything President Clinton said - loved it.
I could not stomach the RNC. |
"Double down on trickle down" - just rolls of the tongue. |
I hate romney, but that is a great one. |
No it's not (and don't lie- you don't hate Romney). |
