Most annoying policial "buzz" word or phrase?

[CambriaBurning]

Every election someone says a phrase or word that other politicians and the news repeat over and over again... Which one did you find the most irritating?

Mine was "flip flopper". To this day, grown men in complete seriousness talk about politics and say "i don't like that guy, he's a flip flopper", and the silliness of saying something like that just seems to go unnoticed. This election it was "Joe the Plummer" or "Wall Street/Main Street" and now we're going to have to deal with this crap for years.

Tell me about it. I'm in Virginia. Not only did it go Democratic (and my hick town did, too), but our Governor is now the Chair of the DNC.

I don't think he means just during elections. It's more like, "You're from Texas? Oh... You're one of those Red Staters". At least, that's what annoys me about it.

Exactly! Not only that but if you have studied politics the electoral college is a flawed system.

The 2008 election made me hate the term "maverick" with such a passion. This is modern politics we're speaking about, no one's a fucking maverick. :wallbash:

Forget your password or something? This reminds me of when Friday had to make up a new board name!

Yes! I tried the Forgot Password link many times, but kept getting lead in circles. Rude and rude! :thumbdown:

Anything referring to "freedom" - troops are "fighting for our freedom" in Iraq, we are spreading "freedom" throughout the world, the forces of "freedom" led by the US will prevail.

'change' and 'progress' Ya, they always work out so well. Maybe we need to regress for awhile and get rid of some of the bullshit laws that exist.

they are probably talking about reaching across the aisle rather than island.
