I have new name for the republcian party...

[Elwood P Dowd]

Hud, after the Paul Newman movie. They are the party of Hud, the party of No, the party of.....fill in the blank, and it's negative. They have nothing to offer anymore but evil, fear, and death. They are Hud.

4. So they'd be the ReHUDlicans?

It's got possibilities.

5. How about

Changing it to the 'Republicants' since their always saying we can't do this and we can't do that.

6. The Republican Party is dead

After the 2012 election, the Republicans Party will fade away and be replaced by a new right-of-center party.

Let's help with their demise. When Al Franken is seated as Democratic Senator number 60, it will be time to utterly crush the Republicans. They had eight years to make things better, and we all know the results. We need to lock them out of the legislative process and sideline their efforts to obstruct our bills in Congress.

7. The Know-Nothing Party. It works on many levels.

Aside from the fact that Goopers belong to a party on the precipice of political extinction, there are some solid reasons for resurrecting this historical name. Hell, even Bill Kristol got it right in his Weakly Standard in 2007 when he warned that party leadership was in danger of 'turning the GOP into an anti-immigration, Know-Nothing party.'

On edit: sticky p-key.

8. The Party of Dazed and Confused.

9. No, call them the Southern Party.

I'm from the South, so no disrespect intended necessarily (though sometimes, I gotta tell ya, it ain't easy resisting the urge). The Southern Party is better for strategic reasons.
