I wish the Democrats would just call the Republicans what they really are
The Obstructionist Party.
If every time one of our guys got out there and said...The Obstructionist Party of Republicans...and never gave them the courtesy again of calling them simply The Republicans...maybe it would make a difference.

6. I like the sound of the Republican Obstructionist Party
...that lays the blame directly upon the entire party which is exactly how the party operates.

ob·struc·tion·ist (əb-strŭk'shə-nĭst, ŏb-) n.

One who systematically blocks or interrupts a process, especially one who attempts to impede passage of legislation by the use of delaying tactics, such as a filibuster.

7. Traitors is much more descriptive and accurate.
They have actively worked to undermine the nation and the Constitution these last several years. They have destroyed the economy, the military, our industrial base, and our personal safety nets. Teach this to the nation.

8. Dean on the GOP's Obstruction on Iraq Resolution
"This bi-partisan resolution is a critical first step to holding the
president accountable and it is the basis for the first real debate on the
President's flawed Iraq policy since the war began nearly four years ago.
This obstructionism makes it clear that Republicans in Congress are not
interested in offering a new direction in Iraq that the American people
called for last November."

12. hey! hey! hey! their heart is in the right place - sure its a fake god and a nonexistant country -
Their faith in George W. Bush and his wars have never waivered. Even after suffering complete defeat they still cling tenaciously to their cruel iconic Shrub. For centuries their stories of fortitude will be retold in history books adjacent to another American tribe who sustained moral courage in the face of total defeat, humiliation, scandal, discouragement and near extinction -- the American Indian.

13. They really are something else than an ordinary political party.
That's for sure. I find their actions more and more criminal every day, way beyond even being obstructionists.

The psychopath party?

They all fit.

15. They're the Patrician Party.
They see themselves as the inheritors of the privileges and status of the patrician class in a new 'Roman' empire. We, on the other hand, are the Plebians. They see themselves as the ruling class - the owners and entitled elite.
