Republi-cants
As seen in a HuffPost comment. Nice and to the point, with less sneer than Repukelicans, Repugnicans, Repiglicans, etc. We can correct the punctuation to Republi-can'ts. All in all, a useful name.

1. I like Sam Seder's "Rape-Publicans" better.
You don't need to overemphasize it when speaking, like you do when you say "Republicants."

NGU.

3. Republi-won'ts...
Won't stand for fair taxation rates (that would be outrageous; the rich deserve to pay no taxes--after all, they create all the wealth, don't they?).

Won't stand-up for the middle-class or the common people (common people, hell; no, the common people can go to hell--us republi-won'ts are special, if those other lazy slobs can't find work, they're just not trying--plenty of jobs at 7-11. Corporations are what's important anyway--and should always come before the "common" people!)

Won't provide for the disadvantaged and poor (of course not, these are the laziest of the lazy--and what's with so many of them claiming to be "sick"; heck, I've been sick and went to work anyway, so they can too. As for childhood environment having an effect, that's bunk--we've all had it rough too--and we still graduated from our dad's ivy league alma-mater!)

Won't tolerate peace (must have war...)(imagine that said by a zombie; nghuh...muust haave waarrrh...ngauhh... branes... muussst eat braaanes)(besides, we's gotta fights them over h'yar, else'n we'ds hasta fight 'em over there--no, here--no, here and there? fight who? all them tan-colored, mumbly-speak, mumslim terrists--obviously, I mean, "duh"...)(besides, wars make us strong--keeps us in shape, ya know)(besides, they still have WMDs (Weapons of Muslim Destruction) AND IRAQ did blow up the towers--and they did it with nuclear weapons!)

Won't fight governmental corruption (after all, they're the main source of it; besides, with the new laws we's passed as majority--it ain't against no laws no how; that's how the system works, it's "business" (an "business" is "capitilism" and that's the 'merican way)--the business of gettin re-lected, and we have to have re-lected republiwon't Congress'ers to keep 'merica safe!)

Won't balance the budget (because the deficit spending is all going into our pockets and our big-money pals pockets, but don't tell nobody--it's a secret)(besides, to do that, we'd have to hire some accountants or something, and that'd cost more money)

This could go on for pages... Alas, even so, there are those who will think this is humor--that Republicans aren't really that stupid or that their thinking isn't really that irrational, after all, how could it be--it defies imagination... Well, I wish I thought it was just a joke too...

4. I like "Republics" myself.
It takes the "Democrat Party" shit and turns it right back at them. It's arresting when you say it,
and it gives one a chance to rebut the Rs while insulting them.

The other versions cited (Republican'ts, etc) roll off the tounge a little too easily.

5. I'm going with "Publicans" for now...
Republi-can'ts might just catch on, though.

9. in this current era, that one fits.
Especially for the Rushites, and the Talibornigans members of the Republicult party.

7. Just the responses on this thread so far
demonstrate why we don't win elections as easily as the Republicans.

They come up with a name - Democrat party - and they all use it, from the President on down to the lowliest Town Hall clerk. It becomes a meme for cycle after cycle.

We can't even decide on the correct pejorative. Someone comes up with something perfectly reasonable and ten people immediately chime in with their own idea.

We are at a perpetual disadvantage strategically because we are all too independent and stubborn and cannot walk in lockstep like they can.
