I've been thinking about the labels they slap on democrats.
I'm wondering if it could be time to come up with some labels of our own? Some obvious ones.

Rabid republicans

Radical republicans

11. Cheap Labor Conservatives
I wish I could remember who came up with that one-- one of the lefty bloggers. The idea is that so many Repuke initiatives have the side effect, even if it's not the original purpose, of screwing workers, and helping employers exploit them more effectively.

I don't think of myself as a Marxist, but the 21st century Repukes tend to make me sound like one.

14. I like that one too.

I know what you mean. The radical positions that the republicans have been taking tend to push me further in the opposite direction too. Don't want to be associated with their actions at all.

17. Better dead than red
It's simple, accurate, and it brings up its own pre-indoctrinated set of connotations.

Better yet, it makes the irony gods smile.
