Meet the Boehnerists!
Republicans seem to be successful at brainwashing people into adopting their deceitful names for whatever they don't like, such as "Darwinism" for evolution and "Obamacare" for health care reform.

You see, it's psychologically easier to promote hatred of a person that to promote hatred of a concept, so the Republicans frequently rename concepts they don't like by associating people's names with them, and like magic, everyone, including their opposition, seems to play right into their hands.

So maybe we should start fighting back next year by calling them all "Boehnerists."

Good idea?

6. Boehnerism should be illegal
Would YOU want your kids exposed to Boehnerism?

Next thing you know, they'll be bombing innocent countries and sending your job overseas.

Is THIS really what America wants?

7. I like it and I'm going to try it out right now!
Boehnerist from Utah shows up on News Hour. Senator elect says he thinks deficit spending is taxation without representation cause "the unborne" will have to pay off the debt. Goes on and on, very worked up about cutting spending by 40% if need be. Repeats 8 times he would like to see the budget resemble the 2004 budget. (.5 trillion deficit) Finally the bonerhead says he supports the extension of the tax cuts even though he is reminded it represents a cost of 4 trillion in 10 years. Apparently, the unborne, will be able handle that. Talking about voodoo economics.
