I'm going to stop calling them Repukes and switch to Repubs

[Dems Will Win]

It isn't the Republican rank-and-file that are evil, it's their leaders and many Repubs are now switching to Democrat.

Calling them Repukes will just lose us some party-switchers at this point, so it would be a good idea to cool off the rhetoric a little.

NEED A BUSHECTOMY? CALL DR. DEAN!

1. Good idea! Just inform as much as possible

[ozone_man]

2. Good idea,

lets not alienate some of the our potential voters. I generally refrain from using that anyway, since there are some good ones out there.

[Walt Starr]

3. I like this

Repubs also sounds slightly negative anyway and it would be a good owrd for Democratic talkingheadjobs to start using like the Repubs use "Democrat".

[msanger]

4. good idea

I think the way for us to get a sane, compassionate person in the White House in 2004 is for us to start acting like sane and compassionate people ourselves.

And calling republicans - republicans, and clark supporters - clark supporters, and dean supporters - dean supporters.... is a step in the right direction.

[Walt Starr]

5. Bingo

of course, when I call 'em Repubs I'll say it as RE-pub, to sorta sound like Re-tread.

Hey, they started shortening the party names first!

;)

[LuminousX]

6. You are correct. Rise above.

Let them know that you aren't juvenile in your opposition.

[Kathleen04]

7. Agreed..

we can't afford to turn people away.

[Rowdyboy]

8. I'm ready...The constant reffing to puking makes me want to....

well, you know....it get's old after the first few hundred thousand times. The point has been made.

[Walt Starr]

9. BTW, I wanted to say, it's threads like this that remind me of

the DU of early 2001. Brainstorming to take on the coming shitstorms.

[pansypoo53219]

10. i like to call them retardicans

cause if they stay republicans, they is retards.

[jobycom]

11. Name calling is so Republican

I agree with your choice. I use Repub just to save typing, not as any form of namecalling. It seems wrong for me to do something that I despise them for doing.

Just what feels right for me, everyone else has to figure out what works for them.

[Forkboy]

12. ah to hell with 'em!

:evilgrin:

[Clark Can WIN]

13. I agree with your sentiment

and I applaud your effort. I do not see large numbers of republicans in the General Election voting for Dean however.

If he is the nominee, and I am proved wrong nobody will be happier.

[WiseMen]

14. Completely agree. Good to argue a point, not to insult folks

[Dems Will Win]

15. Calling all Repubs! Calling Dr. Dean! Please report to the operating

room for your Bushectomy! Calling Dr. Dean! STAT!

[MidwestMomma]

16. Good imagery....

I like that.

Dr Dean...Bushectomy specialist. Does he also do heart transplants for the compassionate conservative? :D

[w4rma]

17. IMHO, it is best to criticize the Repug **leadership**. Never Republicans

in general. Explain how the leadership of their political party is harming our country and explain how the Democratic leadership and Democratic rank and fine are working together to get these insane folks out of power and change things for the better.

[Upfront]

18. Good Point

Time to think.

[Scott Lee]

19. Wise move to win more repubs over for Dean

And of course I know that my fellows on DU would NEVER want to push away any potential voter for the Democratic side in the GE.

Would they....?
