Unfortunately there isn’t enough room on that blackboard, because I can think of a whole lot more of these. For example:
Apocalypse = When Democrats pass a bill that is virtually identical to one passed by Mitt Romney, not to mention one Republicans proposed back in 1993
Fascist = What to call someone when you’ve used the word “Socialist” too much
Fiscal Restraint = “Do as I say, not as I do”
Disrespect = Ok when used against Obama, not ok when used against Bush.
I’m sure you can think of some … leave them in the comments!

‘The people’ – Republican voters
as in ‘Against the will of the people’
‘Tyranny’ – keeping election promises
‘Apocalypse’ – for us in the next election

Perfect! It’s a shame that all sense of rational has been lost throughout what should have been one of the most groundbreaking events in the history of this country. There were far too many scenarios in which this could have served as a win for everyone involved.

Mandate of the people = Your candidate winning 51% of the vote.
