New name for Republicans..
Let's start calling them "Reds". The historic connotation will send them screaming. What about it???

5. I like it. Better dead than red.
And we're the blues. Maybe that makes swing voters the colorless?

6. "Better Dead than Red"
We need to photoshop some pics of El Presidente on the body of Josef Stalin to make the point as well. Both of them tolerated no dissent and oversaw massive secret police organizations.

8. GOP = Greedy Old Pharisees
That covers them pretty well.

"Greedy" for their economic agenda, which is all about me, mine, I don't owe anyone anything, I'm taking as much as I can.

"Pharisees" for their social agenda. Sort of a "get the gay-pornographer fraudulent non-reporter out of thine own eye, before thou criticize and condemn the nice gay couple who want to get married".

11. We really should make this accessible to as many as possible.
Republicans are the Red staters and they use the methods and ethics of Communist fascists. They also use tax money to subsidize SOCIALIST jobs programs for war profiteers rooting themselves and the military industrial complex in the middle-class jobs base.

25. They are ideologues trying to fundamentally change the nature of America
to suit themselves. This is the definition of ROYALTY. It is enough to make you really mad!

27. I like it. It's easy to remember and to the point.
Besides, they are the ones who are so proud that the "red" territories served up another 4 years of bush poison to the rest of the United States and the world.

And, as we all know, blue is the most popular favorite color. So, let us be proud to be blues :)

33. The Red and Blue connotations should stick, despite the efforts
of some, next time. I saw a blog by some wrong-winger in which he hopes the epithets will reverse; he claimed that the media switches each presidential election (probably he is worried about being associated with "Reds," as you say.

I recall, last November, on election night, Tom Brokaw muttered under his breath that the Red and Blue designations didn't match the ideologies. That jerk was insinuating that Democrats are Communists. Ha, ha! Tom! Joke's on you. It's going to be this way from here on out.
