why don't dems start calling Bush/Cheney "the most conservative

[WI_DEM]

ticket ever?" I mean swing voters are put off by the extreme right as much as they are by the extreme left--maybe even more so. If they can keep calling Kerry/Edwards "the most liberal ticket ever" which is rediculous then surely we can call Bush/Cheney "the most conservative ever"--not to mention incompetent--maybe that is it, when in a debate with Bush and Bush starts saying, "We're up against the most liberal ticket ever." Kerry should say, "We'll we are running against the most incompetent administration ever."

1. How 'bout

Most RADICAL!

2. that's what I was going to say

I know Dean has been saying this about them. I think we should all be saying it together.

[WI_DEM]

3. Radical is great

and yes Dean was saying that.

[TexasSissy]

22. I like "the most radical ticket in American history"

[WyLoochka]

7. Radical is the appropriate word

There is nothing "conservative" about Cheney/Bush.

[Old and In the Way]

4. Nothing conservative about them.

Are they fiscally conservative? $300BB surplus to $500BB deficit in 3 years...'nuff said.
Are they politically conservative? Nation building and Patriot Act.
Are they religious conservatives? Religious Hypocrites, yes.
Are they environmental conservative? Absolutely not.

So just what is conservative about their agenda?

They are neither liberal or conservative in their politics. Their agenda is making $ for their friends.

I'd say The Most Criminal Ticket Ever is a far more appropos descriptor.

5. The key word they should use: EXTREMIST

One hell of a powerful word, isn't it?

Let me print it again:

EXTREMIST

[ewagner]

9. Thanks RatTerrier!

I like Extremeist much better.

[spooky3]

11. me too. It's perfectly accurate.

[TexasSissy]

13. The most extreme ticket ever? The most extremist ticket ever?

Which is correct? "most extremist" doesn't sound right, grammatically speaking.

[Bill Wade]

6. Well for one thing...

they aren't conservative. They're purposefully spending money we don't have to bankrupt major social programs. That is what the dems should be hitting on, but for some reason, its not a major talking point.

[unfrigginreal]

8. I vote for the most radical right wingers

As OAITW said, there's nothing conservative about them.

[LittleApple81]

10. What about "The LEAST LIBERAL?" even though I like "the most extremely

radical" also.

[katieforeman]

12. Most right-wing administration ever.

right-wing has a much more negative connotation than conservative.

[Claire Beth]

14. the most NEO-conservative...

RADICAL pair of FAR right wingers.

[gulliver]

25. You get my vote for best response! n/t

[JI7]

15. Kerry calls them "right wing" extremists

he uses "right wing" rather than conservative. because conservative is associated with many positive things which this administration does not have. right wing is a better term which is why kerry uses it.

[Cerridwen]

16. Regressive, backward, medieval, feudal, Machiavellian?

I'd argue, as have some already, they are not conservative. I'd note in addition to what has been said; that they are in fact trying to take us back in time to when lords ruled over their fiefdoms with impunity.

[mandyky]

17. Most secretive and arrogant

I'd use dishonest too, but we know how that went when Kerry called them crooks and liars before.

[PurityOfEssence]

18. What ever happened to "reactionary"?

Not only is it apt, it's a visceral word that even a third-grader can understand: a pig-headed, close-minded thug who reacts unpleasantly to any change or niceness.

It's sad that the word "liberal" has been so demonized, but fighting that battle is a waste of breath.

Good thread; it should be pointed out that they're extremist economic monarchists.

[Cheswick2.0]

19. right wing radical reactionary

any combination of those words would work.

We all know there is nothing conservative about the leadership in the republican party anymore.

[Capn Sunshine]

20. too bad we can't use the word "Fascist"

after all, it would be impolitic to mention.

This is how they do it, folks.

[sampsonblk]

21. Because Conservative isn't a dirty word

Liberal has become a pejorative. Here in PA, Specter and Toomey both ran ads proclaiming they were the most conservative. But you never see Dems - even way liberal ones - running ads claiming they are the most liberal.

Where are the proud liberals?

Specter and Toomey also ran ads claiming they each stood by Bush the most. And that was AFTER David Kay had said there weren't any chemicals.

Repugs have guts. No brains, no class, no honor. But they sure do have guts. That's what we need in our party, IMHO.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Conservative, no way! *lol* I am probably more conservative than those

prying borrow and spend nutjobs

[SpiritsDad]

24. I like....

the title of "most fascist".

[SunDrop23]

26. Why not call them what they are...

The biggest clusterf*ck in history.

[Dr Fate]

27. I prefer "Right Wing". n/t

[kwolf68]

28. I asked that 2 days ago

When our guys were having to defend this non-sense.

I have never heard "Liberal" blathered around so much as over the past 2 days. These people are scared shitless and they are going, dusting off the cobwebs and pulling out one of their oldest and most predictable plays ever.

We have seen this move before...I trust our guys will have the proper way to deal with it, and quite possibly come out on the good end, but we can't run from the word and we can't cower in a corner...We need to take these people on head first.

[AntiCoup2K4]

29. Let's call them exactly what they are

Lying fascist treasonous criminals who think they are above every law of God and man. They have proven themselves to be so repeatedly from the Florida coup to 9-11-01 to Iraq to their open discussion of their intentions to disrupt the 2004 elections.
