I am so damn tired of watching the news and only hearing talking points and sound bites without any real converations or debate. Apparently they work because I hear them a lot on this forum. Here is one, feel free to put any that you like be it Republican, Democrat or whatever:

Not a revenue problem but a spending problem.

Did not come here to Kick the can down the road.

Actually the talking point would be that Obama put in place Obamacare that nobody wanted.

Then stop watching corporate MSM and get your news elsewhere.

The only investigative news show worth watching is Frontline and that even can be found online.

I will take a look at it, but that brings to mind another talking point.

Liberal media.

You might not like Frontline then. It airs on PBS, you know, that commie broadcast organization.

I love PBS. I was just making the point of some right wing talking points.

Ron Paul 2012.
No talking points, just facts.

I hear a LOT in the media with statements that are totally wrong and they don't back it up.... I mean seriously... has the media come so entrenched in politics that they spew rhetoric instead of proper investigative journalism... its things like this that gives me a very low opinion of journalists...
