"New" word for Republican:Regressive
I think this sums it up without stooping to a lower level. Goclark said this in another thread. I think it is a good meme/talking point way of referring to the opossition and their policies in a convo you may have with someone who you are persuading. Go ahead and flame, but I thought it was worth mentioning.Yes, I know it is not NEW, but thought it would be good to be reminded.Just an idea......

1. well, it's new to me
and I read way more pages in the DU vein than anyone should if they value their sanity. : ) I like it. Frames it nicely and balances "progressive" very well.
