LABELING (memes, labels, whatever) assistance please...
i am helping a friend prepare for a weekly newspaper interview. I am presently compiling a list of "labels" i want him to attach to the right and left at the appropriate times.


For example:

When talking of labor issues: cheap labor republicans vs ???????

When talking of social issues: radical christian right, talibornagains vs ???????

When talking of the environment: ??????????

When talking of foreign policy: ????????????

When talking of education: ??????????

When talking of tort reform: corporate lawyers vs personal protection lawyers


What i am looking for are short concise words or phrases that have a clearly negative connotation for the right and a clearly positive connotation for the left.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I am going to bed.

1. easiuest is to use the prefix ANTI for the right and Pro for the
more resonable party. (although I like xenophobic for the foriegn policy description)

3. Some ideas
When talking of labor issues: cheap labor republicans vs fair-trade Democrats

When talking of social issues: radical christian right vs. moderate Democrats

When talking of the environment: anti-conservation right-wing vs. pro-resources Democrats

When talking of foreign policy: preemptive-strike neo-cons vs. alliance-building Democrats

When talking of education: anti-public-school right-wing vs. universal-education Democrats
