Since we can't call them Corporate Whores anymore, I suggest we use the term

[Viva_La_Revolution]

Shillarys.

1. I honestly like Corp better.

And that is coming from a guy that does not like Corp Wh. I think Shillary is the type of attack the HRC or RNC would do. Just call her Hillary, it carries all of her luggage anyways.

2. Why personalize it.

Just say grifters.

[delrem]

3. Yup. And it gets the message across better, cleaner.

4. I really can appreciate the use of "grifter" along with the phrase "corporate welfare".

DUers have been calling 1% ers, greedy corporations and the politicans that support them corporate whores for years.

I find the sudden outrage against the term NOW to be very suspicious.

5. I hate the term Corporate Whore. Corporate Pimp is much more accurate. n/t

6. We can call them corporate whores still. We've been using that term for a long time.

No sense in stopping to use it.

It's perfectly descriptive, and it describes most politicians today very, very well. They can cry all they want if they don't like the term. They don't like it because it is a strong term that can resonate and be used successfully to garner condemnation and scorn from the masses (which is what is clearly needed right now).

7. just because something has been around for a long time does not mean it is okay.

Call them prostitutes. That's gender neutral.

8. Men can be & are called whores all of the time. I certainly use that term equally for both genders.

And, prostitutes are much more respectable than whores in my world and in my view.
