Governor Mitt Romney has become quite fond of the phrase "trickle-down government" -- debuting it as an attack line against the President at the debate this week, and saying it nine times the next morning in a speech to CPAC.
Turns out Romney didn't coin the phrase, however -- it's vintage Bush 41. In the third debate between President George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton in 1992, Bush used the phrase repeatedly (check out the video below).
There's of course one big problem with taking strategy tips from Bush's '92 campaign...he didn't win.

You like zingers, how's this?
On Meet the Puppet… ahhh I mean Press 10-7-12
Wow, Arnold and Newt on one show. What I see is a double standard in favor of Republicans. Let’s compare Schwarzenegger or Gingrich to let’s say John Edwards or Anthony Weiner.
I know Gingrich cheated on his sick wife while serving as Speaker but where was the prosecution like Edwards? Arnold’s making money on his book and Weiner is disgraced. I’m not even going to bring up Larry Craig, Mark Foley, John Ensign or Ted Haggard. I wonder how David Gregory missed this… (lol) you’re a JOKE dude!
