[katsy]

on the Senate floor.

Did anyone hear that?

:rofl:

[AX10]

1. Ha Ha!!!!

[CottonBear]

2. No way? Way? Please let someone have Tivo'd that!

:rofl:

[snowbear]

3. LOL... Good for Senator Baucus !!!

Montana, you ROCK!!!

[originalpckelly]

4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Republic controlled congress will hopefully never be back again.

[Skidmore]

5. Needs to be used by every Democratic legislator in both houses

until the Republics learn some respect.

[snowbear]

6. 116 views and I'm the only one who rated this up???

Get with the program DU'ers!

And kudos to Max!!

[snowbear]

9. Much better! Thank you DU !!!

figure it out.

Thanks

Go to where this thread is listed amongst all the GD threads, and you'll see the number of views in the far right-hand column.

:hi:

[patricia92243]

36. Thanks. I always stay on the Latest page. I'll have to be more observant:)

[DRoseDARs]

7. Oh no he di'nt...

Oh snap, you go girl! :rofl:

[katsy]

14. Yeah. He did.

I almost fell off my chair.

It was beautiful.

[DRoseDARs]

35. I look forward to the video...

...of Sen. Baucus gettin' snitty wit' it. :thumbsup:

[havocmom]

51. Max lost a nephew to Cheney's War For Profits

and bush's war on sanity.

Hoping Max has his spunky back.

[DRoseDARs]

58. Oh? Well that changes things: He should have been A LOT nastier... n/t

[IronLionZion]

21. he went there! nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

8. So should we all

I'm glad to hear this, if we don't treat them as they treat us this will never change.

[jaksavage]

37. So we are evolving?

Isn't that eye for an eye stuff the thing we want to avoid so it breaks the pattern and we don't become our own worst enemies, again. Oops, too late.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

38. Are we're supposed to take it and say thank you?

Or not say anything and simply let it continue? I cannot see where being passive has done any good to this point.

[WinkyDink]

54. Puh-leeze. It's time to needle those bas****s.

[jasmeel]

10. Give it right back! I LOVE IT~!!!!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. Brilliant!!!! I was wondering if someone would eventually do that! On the combination Countdown/

Hardball show which ran right after the SOTU, and Shrub said Democrat Party, I believe that Tim Russert said that on a GOP talking point memo, it told people to call the Democratic party, Democrat. So it is quite deliberate.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. And Brian Williams correctly pointed out that it is an epithet. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Yes, he did! nt

[Skidmore]

30. And Tim has followed that talking point himself sometimes too--

good foot soldier that he is.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. I wish Keith could be on with them all the time to keep them honest. I wonder

how they sleep on those nights when they have to deal with Keith?

[Judi Lynn]

12. It's only right! Too cool. Thank you, katsy!

Here he is, standing by Republic Senator Charles Grassley.


:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[katsy]

19. They should be called the reprobate party.

Hi Judi!

:hi:

[aquart]

27. The Repudiated Party.

[femrap]

57. Hey...how about The Repubic Party....?

We could say it was just a typo....don't get so upset.

[hippiechick]

77. The Reprehensible Party

:hi:

[wicket]

13. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

:rofl: :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

15. i'll send money if he says "the pube party".

[MiniMe]

23. What about the Pubic party, since they seem to be so obsessed with sex

[AlCzervik]

24. either is fine but pube is reminiscent of Clarence Thomas that it makes me laugh.

[diane in sf]

50. How about the Repubelicks?

[AndyA]

16. HIP HIP HOORAY!

It's about time the Republics got back some of what they dish out!

Glad to see some balls on the Senate floor for a change! :thumbsup:

[City Lights]

18. Go Max!

Oh how I wish I'd heard that!

I hope it catches on!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

20. Shouldn't it be "republan"?

Since they're omitting the "ic", perhaps we should reciprocate...

Good job, nonetheless! :rofl:

[specimenfred1984]

[elehhhhna]

70. Y'all forgot Mepublican

[anitar1]

61. I am really impressed !! I rather like some of the

more scurrilous names. Thanks.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

68. My Favortie: Banana Republicans

nt

[npincus]

26. Dems, keept it up!

until those republics get it right.

[rhiannon55]

28. RepubLICK party

is the perfect word to use to describe those assholes. Sounds every bit as harsh as their use of DemocRAT party. Or, just for fun, we could further modify it to Re-PUBE-LICK.:rofl:

Yay Max Baucus!

[struggle4progress]

47. Perhaps better pronounced "Repub-blecch!"

[cascadiance]

63. or Republi-Hick party!

[crispini]

29. .

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[NoSunWithoutShadow]

34. Good for Sen. Baucus. OTOH I wish that people who use the term

I wish that people who use the term "Democrat Party" would be instantly reminded that Senator
Joseph McCarthy repeatedly used the phrase, "the Democrat Party".

They're engaging in McCarthyism. Have they no Shame?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(phrase)

History of usage
"Democrat Party" has a long history of occasional use as a variant form of name for the party. The history has been traced by several scholars and commentators, including Feuerlicht (1957), Lyman (1958), Safire (1993), Sperber and Trittschuh (1962), Numberg (2005) and Hertzberg (2006). The earliest known use of the term, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was in Great Britain in 1890: "Whether a little farmer...is going to rule the Democrat Party in America."<3> The term was used by Herbert Hoover in 1932, and in the late 1930s by Republicans who used it to criticize Democratic big city machines run by powerful political bosses in undemocratic fashion. Republican leader Harold Stassen said in 1940, "I emphasized that the party controlled in large measure at that time by Hague in New Jersey, Pendergast in Missouri and Kelly-Nash in Chicago should not be called a 'Democratic Party.' It should be called the 'Democrat Party.' <4>

The term has been used by numerous Republican leaders since the 1940s and appears in most GOP national platforms since 1948.<5> In 1947 Senator Robert A. Taft said, "Nor can we expect any other policy from any Democrat Party or any Democrat President under present day conditions. They can not possibly win an election solely through the support of the solid South, and yet their political strategists believe the Southern Democrat Party will not break away no matter how radical the allies imposed upon it."<6> President Dwight D. Eisenhower used the term in his acceptance speech in 1952 and in partisan speeches to Republican groups.<7> Ruth Walker notes how Joseph McCarthy repeatedly used the phrase "the Democrat Party."<8>

Asswipes.

[tabatha]

39. great - their crap needs to be answered n/t

[StatGirl]

40. I prefer "Publican party", with the biblical connotations

. . . but I'll take whatever payback our guys and gals can come up with!

[MzNov]

42. I like "Publican" with the inn keeper or bar keeper definition !

The Publicans are standing in the way of a long-overdue minimum wage hike.....

the Publican party....

[Staph]

44. That would really annoy the Fundies!

The Bible mentions Jesus dining with the undesirables of his day -- the publicans and sinners!

[Spiffarino]

79. Publicans were Roman tax collectors

Isn't that a nice poke in the arse? :D

[HeeBGBz]

66. That is a good one

For the hardcore fundies.

[Downtown Hound]

41. Now that's the spirit! Keep up the good work Max!

[badgerpup]

71. I called his local office after I read this...

They kinda know me there...:blush:
Told the guy who was answering the phones what had happened, and that
:applause: :bounce: :toast: "YEAH! Go Max!" :yourock::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::woohoo:
was the reaction.

He sounded a bit surprised...hadn't heard about it yet, but he was pleased with the feedback...

[Contrary1]

43. I'm checking around to see if I can find a video...

what was the discussion about, when he said "republic committee"?

[katsy]

46. It was this afternoon... the Baucus Amendment.

Think it was defeated.

[applegrove]

45. Beautiful! n/t

[crud76]

48. Touché!

I thought we should refer to the neo-conmen as "Republicanists," as in Fascist, Islamist, etc., in other words, the extreme members of their group.

Good on Baucus!

[porphyrian]

49. Heh. - n/t

[roamer65]

52. Rethuglican party

That's my fav.

[Cameron27]

53. I've been waiting for this!!

I've gotta see it :rofl:

[Cameron27]

56. I just thanked him for the brilliant payback

[Vidar]

59. I prefer "publican", but it's the thought that counts.

[aaronbees]

60. republican't is my favorite

but this will do! Good for Baucus! :)

[Grateful for Hope]

62. It's about time n/t

[exlrrp]

64. The way to defuse the "Democrat Party" slur

basically take it and make it our own. if you show that something irritates you, youre a fool to tell it to the republicans---they'll only use it more.
it doesn't really bother me, its one of the NICER things they call us. After their spokesthug Coulter caled us liars and traitors, how can something this innocuous hurt?
the important thing is to shove our agenda down their throats. After that they can--and WILL-- call us anything their perveted minds can come up with.
Um, Sticks and Stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me. An important childhood lesson to know when dealing with Repulsive-icans.

[FormerDem06]

78. It really doesn't bother me....

The Republican Party is full of Republicans not Republics.
Our Party is full of Democrats, not Democratics.

I don't see the problem, but I do understand some of the concern.

[IDemo]

65. "Reptilicans" n/t

[dsharp88]

67. Did anyone capture and YouTube it?

[MilesColtrane]

69. I'd retaliate with "Republikker" n/t

[StClone]

72. Thee Hee what goes around!

If nothing else it shows we won't stand for all the b.s.

[mzmolly]

73. Oh I love it!

:D

[Pooka Fey]

74. Good on him!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

75. Bwahahahahaha!!!! Wish I could have seen THAT!

:rofl:

[SpiralHawk]

76. Bwa ha ha ha ha - toss their crap right back at them

Chickenhawk republicon cronies...bwa ha ha ha ha

[WinkyDink]

80. And they can't make a PEEP in complaint! HAHA!

[ramapo]

81. Sure they can

We all know they can't take a dose of their own medicine. They think nobody realizes that they've been pulling the crap that they've pulled over the years(well they're probably at least hlf right).

Well I just love to see them sputter and get all outraged. It is so fake and predictable.
