http://dcccupdates.blogspot.com/2010/11/stake-thanksgiving-cheat-sheet.html Email from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee via its executive director, Jon Vogel:
There's the spirit of the holiday - a list of talking points on how to be disagreeable with those with whom you disagree. I can't wait for their Christmas message. I'm sure it'll be filled with the spirit of good will to all men, and all that stuff. |

Oh for cryin' out loud.... I'm so glad I don't have extended family near enough to bother with, for the holidays. If the discussion ever turned to brainless political discussion, you'd hear me saying, under all of the yelling and ranting, "Pass the mashed potatoes and poison, please." |

I'm afraid anyone showing up at my place with such a list of DCCC talking points would be greeted by accusations of "Communist!" by my wife. I would just smile and pass the mashed potatoes. It does give pause to consider the people accusing Republicans of parroting talking points. |

My wife's brother is a hard core Obama supporter. I've had to instigate a rule that there is to be no talk of politics at the dinner table, to maintain the holiday spirit. Still have to moderate from time to time before things get out of hand. |

Man... Bring back the days when religion and politics were topics that just weren't discussed. |

+1. If we can't do so objectively (and I think our lack of proficiency here is pretty obvious), best not to bring it up. |

I'd throw abortion and sexuality into that category, too. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Indeed.... Copper, with the right marinade, they aren't bad, actually. (Kinda' like stewed tomatoes, but with more fiber..) |

Looks like many of those would make pretty good Republican talking points as well. |
