Far be it from me to be critical but...(I'm now going to criticise everything you just said)
I may be wrong... (of course I'm not!)
With all due respect...(I disagree completely and don't give a jot for your opinion)
Any others?...(I "really" don't want to be alone on this one or I shall look like the forum meanie)

Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answers...Rainer Maria Rilke

Let me throw in a few, just to help out.
We will work for a prosperity that is broadly shared...(let the rich get richer, it's what they're for)
Federal spending should not rise any faster than the paychecks of American families...(you won't *believe* what I've got in store here)
we must not overlook the weakest among us...(homeless? what homeless!)
Iranians, like all people, have a right to choose their own government, and determine their own destiny...(hey! foul call! who the hell let them elect a hardliner?)
this Nation and our friends are all that stand between a world at peace, and a world of chaos and constant alarm...(Resistance is futile!)
Your enemy is not surrounding your country - your enemy is ruling your country...(God, did I really say that?)
We exercise power without conquest...(no, those fortress bases are for your own troops, we'll not stay there more than, oh, a hundred years or so)

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious. [Fred Wedlock, "The Folker"]
Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware. Écrasez l'infâme! When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

Bullet's trial was a farce. Can I get an AMEN?????
We won't be punished for our sins, but BY them.
