We need a catchy name for the Wall Street meltdown
I think we have to discredit the words Conservative & Republican like the Republicons have discredited the words Liberal & Democrat over the last 30 years. You know damn well if the tables were turned it would already be the Obama Meltdown or something.

1. Bush's Bust
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 10:29 PM by DJ13
Not to be confused with Barbara Bush's bust, even though they are also on the floor.

2. I posted a similar thread a few days ago, but now I can't find it!
There were some good suggestions, too.

12. Bubble Trouble. White Male Blackmail. Republican Doo-doo Economics.
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 08:22 AM by Efilroft Sul
But if we want to discredit the word "conservative" like the Republicans did "liberal," then go all-out: Conservative Disaster Capitalism.

Repeat it enough times and it's like tar and feathers the opposition will be unable to remove.

15. Global Thermonuclear War
Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken.
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

29. Voting Republican: 101
Republicans in charge of any branch of the government equals corruption, failure, disaster, fraud, blackmail, extortion, and a destruction of Main Street America to benefit Corporate America.

Anyone who even thinks about ever voting for any former underling republican, who DID support and prop up the regime who brought so many failures to this nation, is a complete fucking idiot. Yes Freddy Freeper, you do not know your ass from a hole in the ground, so sit down and shut up!
