Why not call them "spend, run and ambush conservatives?"
Where I live we get bombarded with simplistic Republican politics "tax and spend liberal". There is never a discussion about whether you would like to get better wages. It never gets to that point.

The Republicans look like they are going to dig out their never worn out simplistic slogan very soon, pretending that the Bush tax cuts are great, help the economy and more taxes are coming for all of us.

So why not hit them back?

They spent the Clinton surplus and continued to spend money like it was going out of style. They run away from any fiscal responsibility impoverishing generations yet to be born. And when the other party comes to clean up their mountains of poopie diapers, they ambush and pretend they had nothing to do with that spending.

That's why they spend, run and ambush.

We need to find phrases that stick to them like glue.

Perhaps others can come up with better slogans than this. This was just to get the ball rolling.

1. I recommend calling them "CORPORATISTS" 24/7/365.
It's what they are. But it's too-rarely heard. Same for DLC Dems.

2. I call them welfare queens
They expect the government to provide them with jollies in the way of huge tax cuts, so that they can have luxuries at the taxpayer's expense. How are they not the welfare queens, as they themselves define them?

3. When Bush Jr did it to us, I said it was his asking usall if we wanted to play 52 card pickup.
