If the repukes say we're anti-business, what should we call them?

[thermodynamic]

Let's agree on a proper adjective and send it to every Dem in power and every Dem presidential contender. If the Dems use such a phrase openly and often everytime a repuke calls us "anti-business", that should wake a lot of people up.

I say the republicans are "anti-people".

What do you think? My answer is fairly generic, though it technically works.

[Liberal Veteran]

1. How about anti-worker.....

Because they put corporations ahead of the people who work for them.

[leftist_rebel1569]

12. exactly what I thought

maybe...anti-labor?

[XanaDUer]

16. Me too

and since most Americans have to work to live, it should resonate the most with the most people.

[rogerashton]

2. Porkers

In practice, "pro-business" means the pork barrel every time.

Reporklicanism is pork barrel politics!

[JohnKleeb]

3. like lib vet says anti worker

anti people yep.

[GayboyBilly]

4. My to favorites woould be...

Anti-Social

or

Anti-American

I prefer the latter, since The policies that have been comming out are not American values.

[Iris]

5. anti-human, anti-family

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. They are anti-small business

they're tax cuts and incentives for big business and lack of support for entrepreneurs is hurting our economy. It takes innovation and new discoveries in order to foster job creation, and this is not coming from the conglomerates who send our jobs overseas.

[nannygoat]

7. How about pro-bankruptcy?

[VOX]

8. Cheap-labor conservatives.

There have been some excellent posts in GD about this newly-minted moniker. And man, does it ever fit!

[finecraft]

19. Yes!! I agree

Cheap-Labor Conservatives gets my vote, too!

[izzie]

9. I am not anti-business but anti-anything goes.

So guess they are anti-workers.

[proud patriot]

10. Anti- fair labor

anti-living wage

anti - labor rights

anti- worker

anti- union

anti- Fair trade

anti- states rights

anti - social-class equality

[Redleg]

11. Cheap-labor conservatives.

I don't see how they can call us anti-business. Don't we all support businesses by purchasing goods and services from them and by insisting that businesses follow the rules?

[Skittles]

13. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

ARE BUSINESSES DOING BETTER NOW THAN THEY DID UNDER CLINTON ?????

[bucknaked]

14. C'mon, y'all know business can do no wrong!

That's why we need, not ONLY tort-reform, but we need less "regulation" (really, it's just interference) also, because we all know the customer/quality/employees/safety/the childeren are all the #1 priority in the boardroom. Also, we all know that a totally free market will solve all the country's ills... you know, like it did for slavery, Jim Crowe laws, etc... we didn't need any government involvement in those cases, the market would've eventually solved those problems.

:eyes:

[maine_raptor]

15. False Promise Republicans n/t

[leftyandproud]

17. we are...

anti corporate-power, pro worker rights

they are

anti worker rights, pro corporate power

just switch it around on them

[Darranar]

18. Anti-people?

We think alike, thermodynamic! That's what came to my mind!

[democrat in Tallahassee]

20. anti-human; they are not human

(

[unfrigginreal]

21. Anti -humanity n/t

[unblock]

22. don't concede that republicans are pro-business!!!

they only side with businesses to the extent that it lets rich bastards fleece the masses. they are just as happy raping and pillaging and looting businesses as enriching themselves any other way.


in fact, it is the democrats who are pro-business in the sense that we want viable, long-term, stable businesses who provide a legitimate service or goods at a reasonable profit.

republicans are pro- fly-by-night, quick-con-artist, sham accounting, false advertising, pension-raiding, polluting corporations.

[flama]

24. OMG!

My facist brother's still a Republican? LOL!

[thermodynamic]

26. Oh, I'd never prop up anybody with a "pro-anything"

They call us "anti-something", we come back with the exact opposite of what they said, also in a negative connotation. We are "anti-business" so they are "anti-worker". That alone should perk up 220 million ears. If we called them "pro-business" in return, we'd get cremated I'd expect.

And I agree with you, we are pro-business. As long as its regulated because pure freedom, in a human sense, is anarchy. And the business world is a step away from that given all the anti-goodness it engages in.

23. Fascists, defination...n.[1]. a philosophy or syatem of government that

advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of belligerent nationalism. ...sound familiar??

[flama]

25. Great timing, Sam!

Just mentioned facism. Yes, it does sound familiar.
