"Well, you know, what you say has the sound of legitimacy and even might convince people who don't listen carefully that you're actually saying something. But, there is a matter you're overlooking, and I trust that's simply because you and your fellow - what are you called now? - Republicans are so focused on winning, even as you're lying and cheating and doing all sorts of things that betray your utter lack of honesty and integrity, that you forget the duty of elected officials is to safeguard the people and the Republic.

"If you'd rather whittle down our form of democracy to a sound byte and buzz words, that's certainly your right. But, we Democrats - yes, we're still called that, although, lately, I've heard people refer to Republicans as deadpigfucking rightwingnuts - prefer to focus on honesty and integrity and telling the American people the truth.

"Now, tell me again how George W. Bush - I've heard people now call him Fuckface - has improved the condition of our country. And then tell me again why our armed forces are in Iraq. Perhaps, then, you can explain to me why the dollar is at a record low against other currencies. After that, I'd like to know what Fuckface is doing about the fact that we're now the largest debtor nation in the world, and China owns our paper.

"Oh, and while we're at it, what happened to that lovely deficit President Clinton - you know, the one who was legally elected - left Fuckface?"

But, that's just my response. You'd probably want to say something completely different.
