I get it, but... I don't think it's really funny. I mean. You had to explain it.

But you've "got it" now, doncha, fargle?

Yeah, but the point remains: If you have to explain a joke, it's not funny.

Personally, I think the exercise, which is basically "demonizing your opponent rather than discussing the issues" is doomed to be unsatisfying, and given that as a starting point, you're only going to preach to the choir.

e.g.: "Big Government". No one is FOR Big Government. A lot of people just think that 20 Billion a year would be better spent on a space program than airconditioning National Guard troops in Afghanistan when they SHOULD just be doing their weekend-a-month-and-two-weeks-a-year.

Until THOSE hard choices are confronted ( doomed-adventures-in-occupation vs. feeding American children... ) and the discussion is always spun as "No New Taxes", then resolving the issues will remain an umet goal.

e.g.: I don't hear the RNC calling for an end to Foreign Aid until the debt is retired, do you?

Ahhhh!

Finally!

We have now reached the second reason I started this thread!

Thank you fargle, for stating it plainly (although I'm sure several of the other posters understood it already).

You must be joking. Bigger government sums up the entire platform of the Democrats.

Well, that's your opinion. For example, I know that pretty much every Democrat is for cutting funding to the War Department, and closing the TSA. Give that the TSA was the largest expansion of Federal Government in a decade, I'd say that at best your assertion is an oversimplification.
