Amazing, I was just about to start a post regarding men "loving" Bush...
when I went to Randi Rhodes site and saw her poll question.

http://www.therandirhodesshow.com

I was going to start a thread that asked whether we should start making it embarrassing to be a Bush lover. Kind of like how they made "liberal" a bad word.

This is the first time I've seen this. Did I miss something recently?

I personally think Randi has figured something out. Every one of her shows now takes on a particular theme. I know some of you don't like her, but she seems to understand that labeling the republicans, just like they've done to us, is the best way to turn things around for the dems. Rush and Sean have been doing it for years. They now that simple to understand labels, repeated over and over again, will influence the public.

Liberal is used all of the time now to label the democrats and the left. I personally hear 'flip-flopper' used on sport talk shows and even in commercials now.

1. the right idea, but
without the media on our side it's going to be slow going. We need our few media allies to start using "Bushlover" as an insult every time they are on TV or radio. See if it takes.

5. Bush will be gone in four years
It took them 10 years to make liberal a bad word.

4. "Privatization of Social Security is a
Wall Street scam."

This is another short and true sentence that we need Democrats to repeat over and over every single time the subject comes up.
