If all goes well I will follow this up with similar lists of positive sound bites describing progressives and a progressive v. conservative comparison list.
This list is NOT about details although I was very detailed in putting it together. This list goes with the intuitive understanding that debates are often won by who frames them the best and that emotional appeals can be every bit as powerful as logical and well reasoned appeals.
3 quick notes.
- Any adjective or vivid verb can simply be replaced with another similar adjective or vivid verb.
- Words like Republican, Conservative, + Right Winger can be interchangeably used and attached to most of the phrases on this list.
- Only use a phrase if it is true of THAT person. Not every sound bite on this list applies to every Republican.
