Poll question: From FireDog Lake some responses to the moribund "tax and spend".

Firedoglake has an interesting little activity going on. I thought it might be fun to weigh in here. Although, probably to be most original we should have a non tax related frame for the Greedy Old Party.

From ReddHedd:
"Next time someone says the Democrats are the "tax and spend" party, I'm going to smack them silly. Fiscal responsibility runs both ways, and the Republicans in their the hell with the consequences frenzy have now earned themselves the moniker of the "just spend it" party.

UPDATE: Reader Samurai Sam comes up with "borrow and spend" as the new motto for the Republican party. I think I like that better than "just spend it." Anyone else have any good suggestions on this? I think they deserve a nickname befitting their profligate spending habits, and I'm open to more suggestions.

UPDATE #2: We have "borrow and squander Republicans" from readers Minnesotachuck and Scott. That just makes me chuckle. I'm going to use that on a couple of people I know."

I think I like "borrow and squander Republicans".

1. Two ideas: credit card conservatives and red ink Republicans

I can't take credit for these. I think they were offered by other DU members.

2. With All The Corruption, Money Laundering

no-bid contracts and missing money in Iraq, I'd suggest "Steal and Stash Republicans"

4. Puts one in mind of Enron execs "Steal and stash", how true.
