Say it, repeat it, use it: NEO-CON.
I know this probably seems obvious. Most everyone probably knows it, but may never have acknowledged and exploited it for use in an argument. This is a phrase that needs to become ingrained in the minds of everyone in the public.

When you're arguing with a republican, and they are going off on whatever lame excuse it is for why they support Bush, ask them point blank: "So you must be a neo-con, right?"

Watch them backpeddal. Make them squirm, make them dodge the question. Call them out on it. Make them admit that if they support Bush's policies, they are a neo-con. Shove it in their face.

The word already has a negative connotation. Use it. Spread it. It perfectly defines the hijacking of the republican party--something that we MUST expose to the general public.

1. That's a great idea.
I'm going to use that today. There's a guy at work that I've been hashing out the issues with and today I'm just going to say, "By the way, you aren't a republican, you're a neo-con, right?"

2. It really works.
I nailed a guy with it on a music forum I post to earlier tonight. The reaction was priceless.

4. Thats the thing...Cheney, Rummy, etc would prefer noone knew what it means
Hell, Bush might not even really know. He doesn't read the paper, and those are the only people he listens to, heh.
