Am I the only one who finds it comical to hear so many people use the term "flip flop" and "flip flopper". It so rediculous! To think that well educated well dressed adults discussing serious politics toss around "flip flopper" like they were 7 year olds.

Some more lines I'd like to hear during cable news shows and hopefully during the prez debates:

"poop head"
"your not the boss of me"
"fatty bum-boo-latty"
"booger brain"

:p

It always makes me think of Denzel Washington in Philadelphia, where he asks if any guys on the sub were making "flippy flop."
 
Heres a surefire debate trump card. You raise your hand to your oponents face and say "Talk to the left cause you aint right!"

I think Lincoln used that one in the Douglas debate.;)
 
The exchange at a debate that I'm waiting for:

Candidate A: My opponent is a fine, upstanding man, and all his ideas are spot on.
Candidate B: *look of utter confusion*
Candidate A: Haha! It's opposite day!

Misquote. What Lincoln actually said was "talk to the elbow, cause the hand is sick of your crap!"
 
How about the greatest debate ever:



GW: John Kerry, you are a flip flopper.

Kerry: Oh yeah? Well your momma is so fat she left the house in high heels, and came back wearing flip flops!

GW: Dont you be talkin bout my momma!! Your wifes ass is so big, it has its own Congressman!

Kerry: Thats it, its throw down time!

(sissy slap fight ensues.):p
 
Without the greatest debating line of all, that cannot be the greatest debate. To wit: "I'm rubber, you're glue. Everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you!"

you've given this a lot of thought right?
 
"flip flopper" gives me a mental image of a kid walking fast in those little rubber sandals, making that little-kid flop flop flop noise.

Makes me think of public showers and foot fungus.

"My plan will fix the economy!"

"My plan will fix the economy better"

"My plan will fix the economy better..........infinty!!"

Today's conspiracy theory boys and girls: Did Cheney deliberately set out to make the public mentally equate Kerry with foot fungus??

Funnily enough, foot fungus and politicians rank about the same on my scale of likes.

"My plan will fix the economy better infinity plus one!"

Edited to add: Damn! Beaten to it. Uh, plus two?
 
"Your plan to get your daddy's rich buddies to bail the US out of debt will never work"

"Your plan to marry the US off to some rich widow country will never work, either"
 
Ya know what I just thought off. THeres an old Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob rusn for mayor. While talking to school children he says that Mayor Quimby "flip flops" and starts doing flips to entertain the kids.

Do you think a Bush staffer stole the flip flop line from the Simpsons??? It worked for Sideshow bob.!
