3. For that "synonymous" reason...
"Bushlicans" (as IN "bushlickers") DOES have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? :eyes:

B-)

5. Busholinicans
After all it was Mussolini who said...

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger
of State and corporate power.". Benito Mussolini (1883-1945)

6. NeoCon party.
The moderate wing of the republican party cannot possibly support some of the policies ,like big govrnment, deficet spending, etc that are being put forth by the factio in power. I think it would help to drive a wedge between old republicans (fundies,nra) and the warmonger/facists of the neocons. I like your idea of splitting the party ,partly because I see they cannot support each others ideologies. bushCons vs bushlicans ?
Three parties , Democrats,Republicans, Neocons.

7. Their guiding philosophy already has a formal name
It's falangism. Granted the real power isn't holding office, but the corporations are calling all the shots, and the republicans are pretending its all covered in the law. Well, er, except for illegal wars, but then pieholes like Perle seem to think the US had to answer a higher call than international law....
