Ok,, once & for all, what do we call them? Bushbots? Bushian? Rapturistas?

[Bossy Monkey]

I kind of like Lost Boys, conveying Bush's little boy who never grew up quality and moreover giving the lie to the freepers' "the grownups are in charge now" dream, but I have enough sense to realize that this would never catch on.

Hmm. I also like the Chimpy McCokespoon Cartel, but have a shrewd notion that this wouldn't go over so sharp with the hoi polloi either. Anyway, this is your challenge: come up with a term for the Dubya Republicans that ridicules and belittles them without being too mean-sounding or outrageous. Deficit-loving Armageddonists? Naaaaaaah, too long. Lemme hear yours!

[POed_Ex_Repub]

1. "Liars"... It's short and to the point. n/t

[adadem]

2. and cheats n/t

[belle]

3. "Bushbots" is good.

"Rapturistas" is a slightly different demographic, although obviously there's a lot of overlap. Might come in handy after the bastard's gone from office, though.

[ET Awful]

4. I just call them all a bunch of ignorant gits. :) n/t

[khashka]

5. I tend to prefer

bile-spewing murderous warthogs from hell. But I guess that doesn't really fit your criteria :(

Khash.

[ET Awful]

8. LOL :)

[khashka]

6. ET Awful

Yup, Quinn's cool :) Not to mention unbelievably adorably cute.

[ET Awful]

9. Thanks Khashka!

He's the cat that finally made me like cats . . . I didn't exactly hate them before, I just didn't like them . . . but he changed my mind :)

[JoePizz]

7. "Complete and utter total knuckle dragging cretinous morons"

OK, I realize that may sounds a *little* mean, but it certainly fits Bush, his staff, and most of the people that still support him. At least, IMHO.

[grannylib]

10. Amoebae...single-celled, simple brainless organisms.

[Bossy Monkey]

11. "Bushbabies" covers a lot of my criteria n/t

[grannylib]

12. That would be great, if actual bushbabies were not so darned cute...

it's an insult to them...just like "Chimpy" is an insult to INTELLIGENT primates everywhere...

[Paradise]

13. "Baby Doc" and the Tontons Mecoutes n/t

[BEZARK]

14. Bushmonicas

Tis funny how little things have changed since the above was written
(c.1972).

How about "Residents of Stepford"?

[Dark]

16. I've always liked the term

Repugnants. It says alot about the republicans.

[billybob537]

17. Here's my own favorite.

BUSHSTAPPO!!!

[Paradise]

19. as for your 'favorite',

[MonicaR]

18. ConservaNazis

The worst threat to our democracy since WW2

[Paradise]

20. The Pod People! n/t

[Bossy Monkey]

21. I keep meaning to print "I'm a pod person and I vote" bumper stickers

and go around sticking them on SUVs. The whole not-having-any-money problem is slowing me down a bit, unfortunately.

[NMDemDist2]

23. Give me a break-will you exempt SUV's with Kerry stickers?

I sure hope so since i drive an SUV for work

[Vogon_Glory]

22. I've Been Calling Them Banana Republicans

I started calling Bush's Republican supporters Banana Republicans about six months ago. I used Banana Republicans as a reference to their tactics and the horrendous (if possibly unintended) end results if their agenda is enacted.

I refer to Dubya's administration as the Boosh regime . I refer to the Bush administrators as Bushistas.

Let's not forget that George UU Bush is only a symptom of the malignant streams of thought that have taken over the Republican Party. Even after Bush goes, the cancer will remain to metastasize in a new shape.

[Arkana]

30. How's this

Bush = Chimperor Caligupretzel
Bushies = Shrub-suckers

[Bossy Monkey]

31. Like 'em. A tardy DU welcome to you, FoolishMoon, sofa king, powergirl, &

[jeff30997]

33. Bush 1 and 2 are Dumb & Dumber so...

Why not The crash-test-dummies? Daoh! That's the name of a band...

Ok,i have a better one: The neo-cons artists.

[Bossy Monkey]

34. So close! Neo-con artists is great! And welcome to DU as well n/t

[zonmoy]

35. If you are talking about fundies

christborg

if you are talking about neocons

demons in training, bushborg, or rethugs.

[yellowcanine]

36. Dickheads works for me.

A friend of mine says "sacks of shit". I didn't have to ask who he was talking about. Amazing. Apparently one can use just about any pejorative and people will know that you are talking about the dickheads.

[jeff30997]

I have another one:

The Fruitcake Coalition. Because a fruitcake is full of nuts!!! :boring:
