Now that the election is over. I am so happy to see things fade into the oblivion.

I am just curious what terms and phrase now that the election is over that hopefully will fade into Election history or oblivion if you so choose.

I think I will be glad *not* to hear terms such as:

Joe the Plumber. Joe Six-pack, That's not change, that's more of the same, Socialism, Pallng around with terrorists etc.


It's something I hope that can be laid to rest now that the heavy campagine fest is over.

I'm just glad they're gonna stop chatting about it.

I, for one, forsee all of those things still being talked about well into his first term by conservative pundits.

I'm glad to see both McCain and Palin and their senseless banter go.

Well, we now get a break from the politics until Obama takes office, then we get four years of fun....

How long before the Obama jokes begin thought? Y'know, where everyone always seems to mock the guy in power...

I, for one, will be grateful never to hear another politician ever say anything even remotely like "Places like this (as opposed to other parts of the country) are the real America."

You know you like it, Willy-boy.:fluffle:

Aye, it's sort of like rock stars claiming that the venue they're at is the best one they've ever been to :D

I'm just glad they're gonna stop chatting about it.

LOL True,true. I can still remember the Flip-Flop campagine of John Kerry from 2004. *sighs* I am still curious about the fate of Joe the Plumber. I think he'll end up writing a book or do something creative, and end up making over $250k in money and end up being taxed. :) So props to Obama and McCain for making his name a household name.

I, for one too, am glad I won't have to hear McCain refer to his countrymen as "My Fellow Prisioners". That was priceless.:D

Lets just hope the fame does not go to Joe's head. :D

"Maverick". I never want to hear that word again. I can't even watch Top Gun anymore.

i vote we stop talking about the bradley effect and instead focus on the real shocker of the night - the "republicans don't like to tell pollsters that they really are going to vote for their convicted-of-corruption morally bankrupt leaders" effect, or just 'self-conscious republicanism' for short. fuck you, alaska.

"Godless American" or any other spin of those two words.

Didn't he turn out to have actually been lying? If so I hope that doesn't happen

I never found out, was Joe Six-pack supposed to have a six-pack or drink them?

Les deux.

Sadly, the one I'd most like to see leaving our lexicon likely is not. I am of course talking about afixing -gate to the end of every single fracking scandal. Stop. Doing. It. You. POS. Political. Reporters. Get a clue and start using the old-fashioned phrase "scandal". It worked for Whitewater. It can work for your scandal too.

I, for one, will be grateful never to hear another politician ever say anything even remotely like "Places like this (as opposed to other parts of the country) are the real America."Meh. I've come to use Olde Europe as a title to be proud of. Fake American is something I can live with as well. In fact, I'm still working on a map of Real and Fake America.

The phrases "President Bush" and "Vice-President Cheney"

Are you trying to give me alcohol poisoning?

we should at least mix it up. make a few of them -domes, for example.

That could work.

"In a speech today, Sen. X condemned the actions of Y in Capitol One-Hemmings."

Yeah, that could work.

well in Australia I am glad that are PM has stopped saying "working famalies"
Somehow "working famalies" included the enmployed, unemployed, self retired, pensioners, thoes without children, singles, and disabled. Prehaps the word "Australians" would have been better

Socialism.

"My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends" "My friends"




LOL Good one. That really bugged me because damn it, I am not McCain's friend. Secound would it kill him to say, My fellow Americans.

No his minsters still use it from time to time, even when it has nothing to do with working families.

I never found out, was Joe Six-pack supposed to have a six-pack or drink them?

You couldn't figure it out cause you could never see the six pack. He kept it in the pack of the fridge so it would always be cold.

I, for one, will be grateful never to hear another politician ever say anything even remotely like "Places like this (as opposed to other parts of the country) are the real America."
The term "real American" is as old as dirt, and, this time around, it was used far more by the people wangsting about how Sarah Palin didn't want to let them in her club house. That said, I'll be glad to see all that particular variety of whining stop now that it has served it's political purpose.

I'd like to say I'm happy to finally have seen the end of Joe the Plumber, but it looks like he's making a grab for has-been status and may be hanging around for quite some time.

You betcha.

Hope and Change.

It wasn't until last night that I realized the real America consisted of the only parts of America, in its 200+ year history, that have tried to leave it.

"Maverick". I never want to hear that word again. I can't even watch Top Gun anymore.

I stopped being able to watch Top Gun after my dad played the movie for the 400 THOUSANDTH time (it was the first movie we had on VHS, and for a while, it was our ONLY movie).

I'm glad to see both McCain and Palin and their senseless banter go.

And they were sensless how?

"Maverick". I never want to hear that word again. I can't even watch Top Gun anymore.

*sighs* even i have to agree with this one, I believe that this was over-emphasised in the election.

Hope and Change.

I can also add:

Spread the Wealth
It is patirotic to pay more taxes
Tax the top 5% of americans while giving 95% of americans a tax break
This is the worst financial crisis since the great depression
President Bush
8 years of suffering/pain/torture
Obama is a Muslim
McSame
Palin is a no-nothing canidate
Palin is a polarbear killer/communist/seccesionalist/constitutional violater/money waster/flip-floper/stupid/a heartbeat away from the presidency
Keith Obermann :)

It's only been a day, and I'm already sick of "New Era". I am hopeful that "I support Our Troops" will stop really meaning "My next words are treason", however.
It's a moot point, as I'm relocating before year's end, and will be exposed to a whole new batch of political catchphrases and slogans.

Nuke-u-lar.

Now that the election is over. I am so happy to see things fade into the oblivion.

It's something I hope that can be laid to rest now that the heavy campagine fest is over."Heartbeat away from a prolapse" or however that goes.

And they were sensless how?Weird ironies in the past few days.

Well, I think "Whitewater" only got saved because it would have become "Whitewatergate", which is far too close to "watergate"

LOL Good one. That really bugged me because damn it, I am not McCain's friend. Secound would it kill him to say, My fellow Americans.
I'm not your friend, buddy!
*does shot*

"Maverick."

throwing "x" under the bus.

That and "Bradley effect"

That and "Bradley effect"
Aye, I can only pray for the Bradley effect to be thrown under a bus.

owowowowowowowowowowow

It's only a heartbeat away for a new America.

"Maverick". I never want to hear that word again. I can't even watch Top Gun anymore.

Why would you want to to begin with?

It's only a heartbeat away for a new America.

Who palls around with spread wealth.

The terms "neocon" or "religious right" being used in the same sentence as "US administration" or "US government".

Change we can believe in - it just sounds like an advertising slogan

Mission accomplished - smug

Hockey mum + lipsick - dumb

Obama is an Islamic terrorist - moronic! Where do they grow those vegetables?

Obama is an Islamic terrorist - moronic! Where do they grow those vegetables?

Side by side the weed patches. *nod*

throwing "x" under the bus.

I always thought that was military slang, as the only place I've heard it is the military.

I'll be happy if i never hear the word maverick again. It just lost all its meaning during the election.

Definitely socialism.

The phrase, if you put lipstick on a pig....

and

What's the diffrence between a hockey mom and a pitbull?

"Maverick". I never want to hear that word again. I can't even watch Top Gun anymore.
^ this.
I really really really hate that word now.

The phrases "President Bush" and "Vice-President Cheney"
Sadly, we still have until 1/20/09 for those. :(

"My friends" "My friends"
<snip>
"My friends"

Ugh. I HATE that phrase. A friend of mine has a shirt that says "Not John McCain's friend," and I developed a habit of quoting South Park whenever I saw him use the phrase in debates and speeches.

I'm rather lookling forward to what will happen when an Australian pollie tries refusing to answer something because it's a "gotcha" question.

And I hope to be able to insert "dead cat bounce" into a discussion of polling. "Of course his dog-whistle politicking caused a dead cat bounce in the polls ..."

Cool.

I am very glad the term "sarah palin" will go...

...please?

Change (not that i dont want it, just sick of seeing the term)
Hope (as a word)
Yes We Can (ditto)
Joe the Plumber
Maverick
Barracuda

I, for one, forsee all of those things still being talked about well into his first term by conservative pundits.
Being the cowardly, parroting one-trick gammy-leg ponies they are, most certainly. Expect more Clinton quotes too.

I am very glad the term "sarah palin" will go...

...please?Well, give it the grace and dignity it deserves by synonymizing it with "Nailin' Paylin". And don't forget to mention her very successful line of glittery and edible thongs.

What's the diffrence between a hockey mom and a pitbull?One of them was neutered too late.

I, for one, will be glad to stop hearing phrases like "family values." Whenever I hear a politician start with that I know he's not going to say anything about families or values, but is going to start in on an emotion-based screed about how wonderful fundamentalist Christianity is.

The term "real American" is as old as dirt, and, this time around, it was used far more by the people wangsting about how Sarah Palin didn't want to let them in her club house.Is that what they're calling it these days?
I thought it was named Avernus. *shrug*
You should see the tattoos ... well, under the weaving foliage ...
