When they call us the 'Democrat' party, we start calling them...

[JCMach1]

the Repub party. It's time to neutralize their meme and call them on the idiocy.

After hearing Sen. John Warner do it the other night, I have had it!!!

[terrisel]

1. Agreed.

I just heard Frank Keating on NPR do it.

It is as rude as Bush nicknaming people.

[aquart]

4. With the same motive. To belittle and control.

[Catch22Dem]

7. Keating?

Former Okla. Governor Frank Keating? I hate that motherfucker!

[Kazak]

15. Oh man, I'm from Oklahoma...

That guy is as bad as Bush.

[GainesT1958]

2. The late Thad Eure used to get it right..

The long-time N.C. Secretary of State always called them the "Repugnant Party"!:D

:kick:

B-)

[aquart]

3. Never accept their language. Rephrase. Attack.

"I'm a member of the Democratic Party. Why are Republicans so poorly educated in their native language?"

[Terwilliger]

5. I would love to see John Kerry refer to them as "Repubs"

the press would crucify him

[mindless]

6. Then will you be ok with them calling you

A Democratican? I have already heard this theme before and they are called republicans but we are not called democraticans.. Just a ? sorry.

16. Thank you TahitiNut

I am not good at the priciples of English. But I do know that I have heard that before about being called democraticans. I am new to this and dont want to ruffle feathers. Thank you for making my point!!! Good night all and thanks for being here!!!!

[xxqqqzme]

17. I am a Democrat!

I support the Democratic Party. When ever the noun is used as an adjective, especially on TV, they should B called on it. They should B held 2 a higher standard.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. When/where did this trend start?

I hate it.

[mhr]

10. Newt Gingrich - The Contract With America

eom

[Gato Moteado]

11. why not just call them by their real name.....

nazis.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. I was just going to say that

LOL

[ConsAreLiars]

13. The short form of RepubliCon is Con

But if you want to be quite civil it is fine to refer to them as public-cons, or even "repubbly cons" if it is an exceedingly polite discussion. But "cons" will serve in most cases.

[PretzelWarrior]

18. HEAR! HEAR! I've heard 3 repukes do it.

I HATE THEIR ASSES! They are a bunch of aggressive, mind-control people who will bully their way. Call people on it. Keep the pressure on their lame ass tactics to dominate the politics of this nation.
