Winning Phrases

Using standard principles of persuasion and negotiation, I've come up with a few phrases that present the conservative case on a variety of issues.  They all have the following in common:

1) Social Proof:  Others believe this, you should too.

2) Asking a question:  Let the person you're talking to figure out the answer and thus 'own' it.

3) Implicitly praising the person you're talking to as reasonable.

4) Gently pointing out unreasonableness of the other side.

Anyway, here they are:

The Courts:  We Americans are basically reasonable and fair.  How about picking judges who respect us?

Oil Prices: What happens to the price of oil when we have more oil? If China can drill off our coast, why can't we?

Gay Marriage:  How do we let a radical fringe claim that all civilizations throughout all of human history, as well as every historical figure you ever looked up to, were not only wrong, but bigoted?

Iraq:  Now that we're finally doing a good job with real results, why stop?

Meeting with Enemy Leaders:  Given that we already have multiple low-level meetings continuously with all of these countries, why reward poor behavior with a high level ceremonial meeting?

Taxes:  Who can spend your money better: you, or Congress?

Cutting Spending: Who can spend your money better:  you, or Congress?
