One more thing: "A Modest Proposal" :

[PCIntern]

I belive that we can counter some of this Rethug "Democrat Congress", "Democrat Party" very easily:

Just do NOT capitalize the first letter of the names of anyone running from the Rethug Party. Let's see how they like:

mccain
romney
bush
cheney

etc.

It is very diminishing and minimizing...I'm going to do this and see what happens. It is the kind of thing which gets under people's skin and is more annoying, I believe, than their little McCarthy-esque tricks.

On edit: I am aware that this is not a Swoiftian Proposal...but I needed the hook...

1. How about we feed babies born to Republicans to the poor?

Now that would be Swiftian

:rofl:

[PCIntern]

2. I think that was a House Bill in 1996 that Clinton Vetoed

and they were pissed...

[anigbrowl]

3. Every time you type 'rethug' you are playing their game

It's stupid and childish. Just because they do it doesn't mean we have to give them an excuse to perpetuate the behavior. This is supposed to be one of the fundamental differences between us and them.

[leftofthedial]

4. yeah.

besides, they are repukes.

[anigbrowl]

5. Knock yourself out. I prefer we should win elections. .nt

[leftofthedial]

7. like in 2006?

[anigbrowl]

8. Calling them Rethugs didn't win the election.

This conversation is over.

11. electing "democrats" in 2006

to end the occupation of Iraq, restore habeas corpus, end torture, hold the bush cabal accountable for their crimes and to end the corporate takeover of our country didn't work out so good either.

13. You're right...it is..you're on the loser track...

I'm off your train...

[PCIntern]

6. Really...

you wanna be different, you wanna be classy, you wanna be correct both morally and politically?

Ask Presidents Kerry, Dukakis, Mondale, and Carter II about being correct and 'mature'.

sorry...we are going to play the game their way and take it away from them. As our Nominee says..we're bringing a gun to a knife fight. If you can't stand the heat...get out. I believe that that was stated by our other eminently-qulaified candidate.

Recall what Stevenson said when the lady stated that he had the vote of every thinking, intelligent person in the US: "That is insufficient. We need a majority"...or words to that effect.

[question everything]

9. But... but... generation whatever does not capitalize anything.. (nt)

[galledgoblin]

10. I don't think there is a greater insult

than simply calling them far-right wing conservatives.

[PCIntern]

12. Not to them...it a badge of honor.
