The whole idea of making "republi-CON" synonymous with ick. Ie: bad, crappy, fucked up, dickishness, selfishness, pigheaded, backward thinking, neanderthalistic, cheapskate, stingey, antisocial, mean, shitty, self-absorbed, narrow-minded, knuckle-dragging, intolerant, pissant, hypocritical, lying, cheating, deceitful, war-criminal, nasty, idiotic, un-Christian, un-American, cruel...

You get the idea. We need to help our fellow Americans make that connection in their minds, and in their guts. And we need to do it like the bad guys (ie: republi-CONS) have done it) - repetition. Over and Over and Over and Over and Over... As frequently as possible! Let's give them a new identity (crisis)!!!
