Wave bye-bye to the GOP everyone. Say "bye-bye".

So they've gone from shuffling chair on the "Titanic" to simply renaming the ship.


Hope it works out for them

Oh, this is too rich.

Because, you know, since they rebranded them as 'The Democrat Party', they've won like, assloads of elections.

Glad they're concentrating on substantive things that affect us all. Party of Ideas, indeed.

Mmm-Bopp!

I guess he calls em as he sees em

They can officially call them the "Democrat Socialist Party" as long as they call themselves the "Republic Fascist Party" ... just to remain fair and balanced.

Oh damn. That's funny.
And cause I want to, I am going to rename 'fark.com' to 'show me the goods or shut the hell up'.comma

If more people had cared enough about America to vote for McCain this could already have been accomplished and we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

I would like to hear Bopp explain, in detail, why any/all of Obama's policies are not the correct path to take, instead of just yelling "socialism!!!"

/wishful thinking over

So their grand electoral strategy is essentially name-calling. Brilliant. I guess Rush Limbaugh really is the de-facto head of the party, after all.

Next up - "RNC: Nancy Pelosi is a doody-head."

It's seems the Republican won't accept that they lost the last election. They aren't likely to do well in the next round either.

Lost in the the political wilderness for at least a generation, if they are lucky.

desperation is a stinky cologne

For that to work, the RNC would have to stop acting like socialists themselves.

FTFA: "I'm going to pass on marketing advice from folks who hadn't fully thought out the implications of using tea bags as a brand," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan.

Zing!

Doc Daneeka: So their grand electoral strategy is essentially name-calling. Brilliant. I guess Rush Limbaugh really is the de-facto head of the party, after all.

To which the mother of 5 will respond, "You still can't have seconds. Now clear the table."

dillenger69: They can officially call them the "Democrat Socialist Party" as long as they call themselves the "Republic Fascist Party" ... just to remain fair and balanced.

You shouldn't be using the term "fair and balanced." Fox News could sue you for that.

/Oh wait, didn't they already lose that lawsuit to a comedian?

They act like that is necessarily a bad thing

/Stupid Culture War'ers
//Die off already

I really, really wish we had a Social Democrats party. I wish such a party had a regular majority or at least plurality of the votes. Alas, we do not.

Poopycrats and Republifarts


It's more likely than you think.

There's not enough vaseline and straws in the world for the Republic fascist party.

The stupidity aside, and boy is it stupid, since when did socialism become evil? Since when, if you've seen this happening, since when did Sweden become evil? They speak like socialism is soooo bad.

Have you been to Sweden? They're all beautiful and happy!

I think that we should solicit ideas for renaming the Republican Party. Fair is fair.

And voting should be enabled.

As a Democratic Socialist i'm really getting a kick out of......what? No, seriously.

since when did socialism become evil?

Since the 1950s.

And when this doesn't work, they'll need to re-brand their opposition formally as the "Commie-Pinko-Gay-Loving-N******-Lovin, Volvo-Driving-Latte_Drinkin-Terrorist Party"

Then, the circle will be complete and the GOP can finally bury its rotting corpse and re-name itself.

yes, jimmy, what the country needs more than anything is a well crafted bumper sticker insult.

FTA
"The proposed resolution acknowledges that and calls upon the Democrats to be truthful and honest with the American people by renaming themselves the Democrat Socialist Party," wrote Bopp, the Republican committeeman from Indiana.

Only if they rename their party the Republican, Ignorant and Proud Of It Party

LasersHurt: The stupidity aside, and boy is it stupid, since when did socialism become evil? Since when, if you've seen this happening, since when did Sweden become evil? They speak like socialism is soooo bad.

Have you been to Sweden? They're all beautiful and happy!

And drunk...Skål!!!

Lackofname: Since the 1950s.

Even our socialist military, socialist police, and socialist firemen?

Democrat isn't an adjective.

"Just like Ronald Reagan identifying the U.S.S.R. as the evil empire was the beginning of the end to Soviet domination...

Ha. Ha. Haha. Hahahahaha.

we believe the American people will reject socialism when they hear the truth about how the Democrats are bankrupting our country and destroying our freedom and liberties."

I like their strategy. In their minds, this is how Americans will react:

"Huh. Up to now I had differed on some parts of Obama's policies but overall I was supportive. But now that I know those are socialist policies, I'm against them! Thank you, Republicans, for saving America!"

oh, and also



does not approve of the democrats sullying the good name of democratic socialism

Lackofname: since when did socialism become evil?

Since the 1950s.

Only for people too stupid or willfully ignorant to understand the differences between socialism and Communism.

This socialist rhetoric has always amused me. I have a friend who is a socialist, an old school socialist who quotes Marx, etc. Yes, she is a university professor (I know, I know).

She finds it insanely perplexing that anyone could think the Democrats are socialist as she lambastes them all the time for being capitalists (which, in her mind, isn't a compliment).

The stupid... it hurts.

Mordant: If more people had cared enough about America to vote for McCain this could already have been accomplished and we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

A++ WOULD LAFF TIL I CRIED AGAIN

ifarkthereforiam: Republican, Ignorant and Proud

R.I.P.

Seems fitting.

So the Republicans are pro-torture, pro-secession, pro-domestic terrorists, pro-corporate corruption....


Wow...what a platform. Good luck with that.

LasersHurt: Have you been to Sweden? They're all beautiful and happy!

If the chicks in The Local's nightlife pictures are socialists, how can socialism be bad?

Fair is fair:

Ike Eisenhower "socialized" the Interstate Highway System. So shouldn't we be calling it the "Republican Socialist Party?"

Oh wait---it's not Socialism when we do it.

Never mind.

/one gratuitous slashie for a Freeper to pick his nose with

Dear Democrats,

Do it! DOOOO EEEEET.

And then live up to the name.

That would be a party I would support without reservation.

Sincerely,
A Dark Evil Omen

Ikam: She finds it insanely perplexing that anyone could think the Democrats are socialist as she lambastes them all the time for being capitalists (which, in her mind, isn't a compliment).

This sounds like a woman with hairy armpits and unshaven legs.

As long as they're willing to call themselves fascists I'm OK with this.

And that for giving the Democrats three more senate votes. They'll come in handy when you try and filibuster.

Car_Ramrod: ifarkthereforiam: Republican, Ignorant and Proud

you just blew my mind

May cause itching?

Meepzoid: Oh wait---it's not Socialism when we do it.

Apparently feeding the MIC endless pallets of cash is not socialist, somehow. But providing for the healthcare of our nation's children, even minimally = communism = evil.

Calling me a Socialist? Unlikely.

It's more likely the GOP is something else entirely, that's better put to music ...

Oooooh, I'm a Republican, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
