My new name for the Republican Party.

[Sannum]

I now call it the Pity Party.

They are always whining about how they are "victims" of nipples, democrats, gays and lesbians, pro-choice activists, hollywood, environmentalists, feminists, and various other groups and individuals. They have stolen two presidential elections, and have control of all branches of government. And they think they are "victims".

1. "What's the Matter With Kansas?"

by Thomas Franks

I strongly suggest you read this book, if you haven't already. He explains how the "pity party," as you so aptly put it, has taken over the heartland. Check it out:

5. Some DUer here thought up "ME-publicans," which I love also.

Pity Party is excellent.

Those folks inspire me - I've got LOTS of names for them, myself:

republi-CONS ('Cause all they offer is a CON-JOB.)

The Party of Pirates.

The Party of Profiteers.

The Party of Panderers.

The "Let 'em Eat Cake" Party.

The Greedy Party. The Stingy Party. The Party of One. The Party of Scrooge. The Screw-You Party. The Grinch Party.

The IGMFU Party (Stands for "I Got Mine, F-U.")

The Party of Cain. (Stick it straight to those Bible-thumpers. Remember the Cain and Abel story, wherein God went looking for Cain after Cain had killed Abel, and God asked Cain where Abel was. Remember Cain's response? "Am I my brother's keeper?" A Democrat would respond - "Hey, you bet! Always glad to help. I'm here for my brother if he needs me." A republi-CON can be expected to reply - "Hell NO! Screw my brother! This is MINE and I ain't sharin' it! Let him get his own.")

GOP: Greedy Old Party. Greedy Old Pukes. Get Old People. God's Official Piss-ants. Grossly Offensive Panty-waists. Grab Our Paychecks. Gluttons On Parade.
