Catch Phrase Needed
Now that the primary fight is over and the mop up begins, (ya, I know Hill is in it to win it) I find a need to turn my sights to the Vast Right Wing Agenda and fire a salvo or two. But my ammo seems to be the wrong size for the gun. It seems that we now have a big gun or two in operational condition, but the bullets are itty bitty.
We need some bigger bullets. I need help in finding the right caliber. We need some spot on catch phrases similar to 'tax and spend liberal'.
I need your help. Let's put our thinking caps on and come up with some good ones and post them anywhere you can. Soon, some of the better ones will start finding their way into our daily life. Let me start the bidding with
'Steal and cheat Republicans' 'Con men conservatives' 'Conservative con men' 'Daddy Republicans'
I know we can come up with some really good ones.

How about "Extend and re-send Republicans"? (Referring to troops, of course.)

Or, to target their fiscal policy: "Borrow and spend Republicans".
(I think it's key at this point not to conflate Republican and conservative, as I think there's a good chance of many conservatives voting Democratic this year.)

I like it!

Not exactly on topic, but I have posted before on my belief that O should use this slogan to combat the idea that he is all hat and no cattle.
"Hope...And a Plan!"
The phrase also plays nicely off of the military saw, "Hope is not a plan."

Hey, it's a good start. Keep working on it. We need something that will stick on them like a flag pin, only highlighting their negatives. Oh, and it doesn't have to BE true, only SOUND true.

I see Dick Cheney as "Daddy Whore Bucks"

Since the Republican candidate wants to appropriate the Bush Crime Family's foreign policy, even the one put in place in Latin America by Bush-41, how about "John McCocain, the Don of San Juan."
