What the hell is a Gop?

I was out driving around northern Idaho and eastern Washington today and saw a bunch of campaign signs that had Gop on them. I know what goop is, I know about Glop, I even remember Gump. Gop, no idea. The names look familiar but the party confuses me.

What happened to Republicans? Four years ago I saw all kinds of signs with the same names that said Republican, did that party come to an end? Was George the last one? What is this Gop party I'm seeing so much of? If I didn't know any better I would think Republicans are ashamed of the Republican name. I know that can be it because they seem like such a proud people, never hiding from anything.

It looks like we're going have it easy this time around because our only challenge seems to be from theses Gops. Gop, doesn't really instill confidence does it? If, heaven forbid these Gops are actually Republicans in drag then shame on them. What would their followers think? Hiding from a name, sheesh, isn't this the party that's supposed to protect us? Gops protecting us, what is this a Willy Wonka story? Shoulda called themselves Oompa Loompas.

On edit: I wonder if we can make it a bad word like, you f&*$ing republican. Then the guys starts crying and says, "I can't believe you called me that!"

How sad...both their belief, and the possibility that they may be right.

"Look Cleefus, a new political party, we should vote for um"

I've been on for days trying to come up with a good one.

...any more in fact Richard Nixon pretty much killed that connotation

like a hippy cereal.

white sugar or brown sugar on your gop? I hear a little cinnamon goes a long way on a steaming bowl of gop.

it was the one that went around stealing all the weaker players gold coins and stuff.

on her commercials or signs. Wonder why? If you are too ashamed to be associated with the Organized Crime Party, why do you remain in the Party?

to ask each and every one of them here what is the difference between a gop and a republican. I'll then ask, "are you hiding from a name?"

G.O.P.

now it stands for greedy old pricks.

are hiding from the republican name I know what the "P" could stand for.

I could see a call-in campaign to those folks asking what party the represent. Maybe a few hundred thousand calls a day. How much are they paying for those phone lines?

I thought the word "Partisans" sounded too nice & mild. "Predators" would be more accurate.

It's the kind of tactic Repukes use over and over. Bout time we learned SOMETHING useful from them. And notice that we didn't do it early on in the election - (we knew the lawsuit would fail). We waited till people were ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION to politics, and made some great headlines. And called attention to the fact that, yes, these people are Republicans (helloooooo!) to those so out of touch that they didn't know. And brought out the fact that they were sleazy and trying to hide their true colors. That never goes over well.

:applause: Good going, Dems!!!!

Leave the White House already.

the reason why I know the person running is a puke... they have it in the fine print.. AND little red this year.. mostly white, blue and mini-red..

Even McCain and Palin are using blue and white.. the only thing red was the dungeon they called a convention.

"Boy, I really gopped that up."
