1. Personally, I don't like it. REAL conservatives in the GOP helped us out
Many voted DEM or stayed home because they know the neocons are not Conservatives. Real Conservatives are NOT happy with the huge debt the neocon hoods ran up and they are not happy about the Constitution being shredded as part of the neocon agenda.

3. Then they wouldn't be "Scaredy Cat" Cons
would they? They embraced a change.

"Scaredy Cat" is an adjective.

6. Conservatives don't necessarily like change
They don't like the neocon agenda and the changes it brought to the nation.

The 'scaredy cats' are NOT the conservatives. They are the neocons who are rightly afraid of going to jail in the near future.

Calling Conservatives 'Scaredy Cats' is a really good way to alienate groups of people who are presently our allies in the battle against the neocons. Why would we want to alienate allies? Why would we take pages from the bush/cheney playbook? Why would we want to validate RW pundits who call DEMS 'elitists'?

Why piss off people who might consider helping? BAD idea.

2. I coined the term "Fonzarelli Conservatives" a couple of days ago
In honour of their statement that Democrats are on the side of the terrorists. If that wasn't a shark-jump, I've never seen one.

4. I don't think it works
The current crop of Conservatives are in fact overreachers and practically insane in their belligerence - I like "Out of Control" Conservatives. Or "Crazed Conservatives."

5. Nah. Not that it matters.
I'd rather we turn "conservative" and "Republican" into slurs like they did "liberal", rather than making up playground insults nobody outside the left blogosphere will pay attention to.
