I forward the motion
We start calling the GOP "Whiggs". As that's what they are, the Whigg replacement party. it is becoming more and more difficult to find any, as less than 22% polled admit to being a republican.

(and it confuses them profoundly):rofl:

1. That name is a lot nicer than the one I want to call them.

2. I prefer to call them the "Know Nothing" party...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing

"...In 2006, an editorial in the neoconservative magazine The Weekly Standard by William Kristol attacked populist Republicans for not recognizing the danger of 'turning the GOP into an anti-immigration, Know-Nothing party.'"

Wow! Kristol actually said something right, for once!

3. Would that make GOP leaders big Whigs?
Or just call them Neofascists.

4. LOL
I had not thought of that... "big whiggs" LOL

I have been using neofascists...

I do just love how they really have no idea of history and that their beloved "GOP" is not older than Dem's and in reality the republican party simply replaced the whiggs as simply some form of opposition.
