The time has come for all good people to do to John Boehner what they did to Nancy Pelosi
Republicans need to be punished for what they tried to do to Pelosi's image, and we can start by taking it out on the weeping nutjob, John Boehner.

Next session, our first order of business should be to humiliate Boehner every chance we get. As soon as any words exit his mouth, we should dismiss 100% of what he says as outlandish, radical, or comical even if it makes him cry. Now I know the people here on DU will be very good about attacking Boehner. I just hope that our Democratic leaders are equal to the task.

And isn't it way past time that we do the same thing to the word "Conservative" as what they have done to the word "Liberal" for too many years?

4. To demonize "conservative" you need some context
"Liberal" didn't get demonized just by being used as an epithet. It took years of phrases like "bleeding-heart liberal" and "liberal agenda" to turn people against it.

So to do the same thing to "conservative" you need an equivalent. And it can't be anything that sounds elitist or condescending. It has to catch the greed, the selfishness, and the general nihilism -- and do so in simple sound-bite form that packs a punch.

Anybody got any ideas?

12. Stop using the word "conservative" to describe them.
They are greedy, willfully ignorant, sociopathic and corporatist.

And if this bunch of Supremes doesn't define the term "activist judges", I don't know what does.

5. That would require guts. Our Dem politicians don't have the minimum requirement of guts.
In other words, it will never happen. N.E.V.E.R.

7. That would require a unified front.
The regressives of the right-wing, in all honesty, have the 24/7 news cycle down pat. The Democrats don't seem to understand some of the critical elements of a media blitz or simply don't care.

21. Johnny Teardrops - I like that
One the country and western GOP crowd could understand.

Not likely their reading comp level includes 'callous' or 'neocon'

15. Boehner's one pathetic MF

"I used to go to a lot of schools. You see
all these little kids running around,
can't talk about it," Boehner said.
