[tridim]

3. I'll add...

ANTI FREEDOM

ANTI AMERICA

ANTI AMERICAN

Other than science, I think they are anti policies that matter.

[L0oniX]

(Just one of many evaluations.)

[Enthusiast]

11. You win!

[calimary]

23. DUzy!!!

There's always somebody…

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. +1

[randr]

9. It is very important for Democratic leaders to start with this rhetoric

Call out the Republicans for who they are and put them on the defensive.
A tactic they have benefited from since Atwater.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Yes...and the biggest thing to me is to have a SUCCINCT message that

EVERY Dem uses - on every TV appearance, in every AD, in every public appearance. Not doing
this has always been our weakness and the Republican's strength (i.e. "Obamacare" = Dirty Word)

If you repeat something enough, it become accepted as fact by the public.

Actually, the Obama team did this brilliantly with Romney. If you read Double Down, they capitalized on a window of time, when Romney didn't have any money to drum in the narrative that he was only for the rich.

[hootinholler]

10. Aunti Republican is Anti-Everything n/t

[Ed Suspicious]

12. +1 love it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Except.....I was thinking what they are FOR. How

about:


PRO GUN

PRO BIG BUSINESS

PRO WEALTHY

PRO AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM

PRO BIGOTRY

[maindawg]

15. Pro hate

Anti human

[lpbk2713]

17. Perhaps most of all ...

PRO THEMSELVES


... and the hell with anyone else.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. DING DING DING. Absolutely perfect. Most succinct ever ! nt

[lonestarnot]

21. Pro adult cloth diapers and bare chested horseback riding.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Ah love a good Vitter the Shitter reference ! nt

[lonestarnot]

58. :)

[WhiteTara]

16. anti life

[rurallib]

18. mark to return to

I can use this in some discussions

[rock]

19. ANTI RELIGION

I do not mean atheistic like myself. I mean, they profess to a religion, specifically Christianity, but attend to their own wants and desires having nothing to do with the teachings of Christ.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Yes, thought of that one - but couldn't quite come up with a term for it

It's like they are big on some parts - like the sinny part...but not the good actions parts

[rock]

39. Hypocrites All

!

[lonestarnot]

20. Aniti brain cells

[L0oniX]

41. ANTI spell check?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. You are a funny dude. dude?

[lonestarnot]

59. Yes, but they don't have a typo check. Damn place.

[Johonny]

22. pro-sociopath; see we at the DU can be positive too

[chuckstevens]

24. You Forgot ANTI-DEMOCRATIC!

Phony Freedom Lovers!

What does it say about a political party whose ideas suck so badly and are so far right of the mainstream that they must use electronic vote fraud and vote suppression of minorities and senior citizens in order to win elections?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. True Dat !!!

[BlueStreak]

25. The only problem they have is the perception problem

The fact is they are anti everything that doesn't enrich the top 0.1%. But the whole game has been to distract the public with all sorts of demagoguery and wedge issues in order to sustain perceptions that never were true. Their perception problem is that the public is starting to perceive them for what they really are, and that is disastrous to the GOP.

It would be a lot more disastrous, though, if the Dems as a whole were clearly different.

[marias23]

26. anti-CHANGE

It all comes down to anti-change. The Right and much of the world particularly fundamentalists of all kids cannot tolerate change - and we are having a lot of it simultaneously. We must try to hold their hands through this stressful time (seriously)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Isn't that one of the main tenets of conservatism? Status quo - nothing changes? nt

[marias23]

50. You're Were Right (no pun)

This was right wing traditionally, but no longer. Now they don't know how to deal with the inevitable change - climate change, gay relationships, new wall street investments, (even) evolution, etc. etc.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

55. That is an excellent point I have never thought of...with the world

changing so rapidly, instant news, they just can't cope fast enough.

If you think about people you know who are very very conservative (not necessarily politically), or maybe a better way to describe them is "stuck in their ways" - they can't adapt. If you say...let's jump in the car and see the sunrise....they absolutely freak out.

[MineralMan]

27. They are the AntiPeople's Party.

It's a wonder they have any traction at all, IMO.

[erronis]

28. Piling on here ---- Anti Children

Unless they are in the womb.

I really like the concept of repeating these mantras, over and over.

Billboards (perhaps with changing Anti-xxx's)

Street placards with "Vote Republican - they are Anti You"

Eventually the "Anti" will be associated with @sshole, as in Republican.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Yes ! It is truly more effective than the Party of No. Because

that could imply that it includes they are saying NO to things we should be saying no to.

[AAO]

29. That's a great list and all true. I'd also like to so a pro- list.

What are republicans really for? Not what they say they're for, but what they are REALLY for!

I'm guessing it's a much shorter list:

pro-money
pro-power
pro-privilege
pro-themselves

[Wounded Bear]

32. Since they're always railing against "Socialism"...

I kind of like calling them the Anti-Social Party.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. That's great !

[madinmaryland]

40. Anti 99 percent of the country. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. And then there's the 45 some odd percent of those 99 who are too

dumb to realize it

[madinmaryland]

44. They are under the delusion that they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and become

multi-multi-millionaires. And then some of them have that "I got mine, fuck everyone else" attitude.

[nlkennedy]

45. Pro Christian Dominion

[B Calm]

47. Anti Social Security too!

[ReRe]

48. First, Happy St Patrick's Day, in advance!

Second, good you seen him say it. I can not stomach Candy Crowley, even if she was interviewing God, so I didn't get to see it. Yes, one would think there is no shortage of campaign material, after the last 5 years. If the Democrats don't sweep the elections this fall, they have no one to blame but themselves.

[allan01]

49. they have alwayse been that way. meh

[npk]

51. Don't forget PRO GUN

GREED and the ability to KILL SHIT is what the GOP stands for. Nothing more.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

57. ADDED....thankx npk

[3catwoman3]

52. Interesting that the...

...against list is so much longer than the for list.

[blm]

53. Pro-Global Fascism

NWO Republicans

[Laelth]

54. k&r for the truth. n/t

-Laelth

[Lady Freedom Returns]

56. K and R!
