All Democratic Leaders and Candidates always should use the label 'Bush Republicans'
We must never let the people forget that Republicans gave Bush everything he asked for over the last 7 years, and it is now time to stand accountable.

Let them call our Party the 'Democrat Party' -- we just need to come right back at them with 'Bush Republicans' every opportunity we get.

We will never forget the ruin they caused our country for Bush could have never done it by himself, he had to have the help of 'Bush Republicans' to bring such death and destruction to our country.

4. Amen.
I swear, if some of us were running things, I think we'd have a better chance of winning. Hell, we may just be some folks on the internet, but we're fighters. Something our leaders need to learn.

7. It certainly is accurate to always use 'right wing' when referring to 'conservatives'....
'Right Wing Conservative Republicans' should ring in the ears of voters before casting their votes.

8. No thanks. Don't dig arbitrary name calling.
Hagel's no Bush Republican. There's others too. Fine with me to use Bush Republicans for those that strongly support Bush and his policies. But if you use the yardstick of giving him free rein (or reign, if you prefer), then there's a lot of Bush Democrats too.

12. Hagel's leaving, and I know of no one else like Hagel.

Who are these other maverick Republicans?

They've marched more or less in lockstep, because Bush's policies are Republican policies. Bush has instituted Republican ideology, and it's failed. They all share his failed ideology. "Bush Republican" is, I think, a good phrase.

GOP politicians are already trying to distance themselves from him, and blame him as an individual. They shouldn't be allowed to disassociate their policies from the real-world outcomes of their policies.

14. Usually is not the same as always.
Concede your point. Those who are Bush Republicans should be called Bush Republicans. And that's most of them. But don't like being kneejerk like many on the other side have been.

16. great idea!

If the Dems would start using the same tactics as the Republicans, like say being organized...saying the same things over and over so it will sink in(preferably the truth though)...we might actually get somewhere.
