Poll question: Ok, freeps, you win. We're the Democrat Party. Now we get to name yours!
Edited on Mon Jul-25-05 09:58 PM by undisclosedlocation
What'll it be?

Edit: Pharisee Party replaced by Greed, Oil, Puritanism Party per Lydia Leftcoast's excellent suggestion.

EditEdit: While I crazy mad love everybody's suggestions, I still think it's important to say something about the voodoo economics. Changing Bankruptcy Party to Bill My Grandkids Party for (hopefully) greater clarity (though maybe Voodoo Economics Party would be better.) Also adding Other.

1. How about "The Wonderland Party"
They are as logical as the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.

worried. Now go to your room and write 100 times, "I will reach 10,000 posts like my namesake." :P

15. 10,000 posts!!!
You are a DU bad ass, cousin!

I guess I am more of a voyeur. Been here since the beginning, come on every day for at least an hour, and I still only have 5,000 posts.

By the way, what do you think of the Christian Right plans to take over your home state?

17. They've already got Greenville. I don't think they'll find Columbia or
Charleston either sympathetic or welcoming. Then again, they said that about Colorado Springs...

11. "Democratic" is seen as good in the public's eyes due to centuries of
civics classes, socialization (note the small S), and, not to put too fine a point on it, propaganda. Thus, the Republicans, being a) heavy into marketing, b) lowdown swine, and c) bullies down to their evil, evil souls, want to take "Democratic" away from us and saddle us with the more neutral "Democrat." Of course, it being the wrong part of speech, they mainly wind up sounding like idiots, but as we've found to our very great cost, if something idiotic is repeated frequently enough, Americans will buy it like cheap real estate.

36. They've been doing this for many, many years
as I like to point out in these conversations, I remember my mother complaining about the Reep practice of calling it the "Democrat Party" at least 30 years ago.

It's a childish term of disrespect. It's a slur; they know it, and like a child who has discovered what some "dirty" word means, they use it whenever they can.

4. The G.O.P., which stands for Greed, Oil, Puritanism
Edited on Mon Jul-25-05 09:34 PM by Lydia Leftcoast
:-)

Sometimes I call them the Republicanites. If they're going to take away one of our syllables, they have to take an extra one themselves.

20. Really great, but I need something about the deficits, too
even though Bankruptcy Party isn't getting any votes. Cheap Labor and Your Grandkids Will Pay For It Party? Nah, too long. Liked your suggestion, though.

10. Har har...if we call them democrat party we will look real smartly!
"Democrat" is a noun. "Democratic" is an adjective. They are getting back at us by using a noun where an adjective belongs? Ouch. Pain. Suffering. I cannot make it another minute in this cruel life. Agony. Oh blessed mother of Tours. Oh Catherine of Siena. Oh cruel life. :sarcasm:

23. That's certainly whom they benefit, but they've succeeded at persuading
the NASCAR dads to play along. How about Robin Hood in Reverse Party?

35. So many good choices
I chose Chickenhawk party because it goes to the character of the membership and the leaders. Admittedly it leaves out the fiscal reckless incompetence of the Chickenhawk leaders, but it speaks to what drives so much of its membership.
