We need to coin a new term meaning "corporate candidate"

[begin_within]

such as "corpse" or "whoreporate" or whatever. So that candidates (and even politicians in office) can be identified, labeled and pigeonholed as being puppets of the corporations that funded them. Something that can become part of the general lexicon and can easily be used to target this type of politician.

9. Vendido

I'm rather partial to the LA street patois for a kid from the neighborhood who sold out to the cops -- Vendido means "Sellout."

I think it fits SO many politicians, of both parties.

Or there's always simply "WHORE." Maybe that dishonors sex workers, I don't know..

16. No, come on...that's every bit as juvenile and childish as

"Repuke", "Puke", "Rethug", "Pug" and all the other stupid names people use on this site. It doesn't serve any purpose other than to make people who use those terms sound like children.

23. "corporatist" doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, does it?

They turned "Liberal" into a dirty word during Raygun. We need to do the same, and make it apply to any party affiliation. Corporatists comprise most of the "Democratic" Party, and ALL of the Republican Party.

But the word 'corporatists' doesn't even make it past the spell check here on DU... lol
