2. I've been using Erpooblickins for years |
|
and it always gets agitated responses. It's such an annoyingly stoopid epithet--perfect for the target.
Roboticans seems apt, too.
My latest is the Autocrat Party. Plutocrat Party works too. "We don't need anymore Plutocrat wars." (Just imagine a Democratic Bob Dole type snarling that line out.)

5. I refuse to refer to them as anything but "Republicans" |
|
That says it all to me. I won't resort to the name-calling, petty tactics of the opposition. Being called a "DemonCrap" or a "DemocRat" immediately makes me discount the view of the opposition. We shouldn't give them that same opportunity.

6. I actually don't usually use these epithets |
|
unless I am really, really angry and want to lay my contempt for them out on the line. And usually when I reach that point, I call them American fascists to get deep under their skin. I reserve Erpooblickin or constiPERVative for useless idiots who call Dems "DemonCRAPs" or "LIEberals."

..."Rethuglicans" -- to emphasize the thug-like quality of their ham-fisted, jackbooted, fascist attitudes & tactics.

11. The Rich and the Puppets |
|
The Rich of course being the party leaders and the Puppets of course being the middle-class and working-class citizens who think that they are actually working for their interests.

Like the Autobots, but totally uncool, like a Hummer that turns into a Grand Jury Indictment.
