McCain HQ consults a Thesaurus (voters, speech, Bush, party)

[golfgod]

How about;

Arrogant? I think we've tried it.

Proud? Actually sounds like it could be a good thing.

Haughty? No, our voters don't know what that means.

Lofty? Huh?

High-flown? Huh?

High-falutin? Our voters know the phrase, but they think it's a good thing.

Can't we just drop all pretense and start dropping "N" bombs in every speech?

(The above are from Roget's and are synonyms for "uppity")

lol, they are in the gutter area now-IMO they better start muzzling little miss sixpack. She is coming off as stupid and strident, not a good thing!

[normie]

Hmmmm, yes, they want to avoid the word "high-flown" because it could remind people of McCain's history of crashing planes...

LOL chum!!! Yes, McCain needs to start using this word.

Especially because one definition is "fish refuse or scraps discarded by a cannery." Which is a pretty good description for some of McCain's friends.

Yes, scuba divers know you sprinkle chum in the water when you want to attract sharks.

Seems appropriate.

Well he is of the party of nationalization. Pretty soon we will be calling them Georgio Chavez Bush and John Fidel McCain!
