RNC faction unveils fail-safe new strategy for reclaiming the majority

RNC faction wants Dems branded socialists

A conservative faction of the Republican National Committee is urging the GOP to take a harder line against both Democrats and wayward Republicans, drafting a resolution to rename the opposition the “Democrat Socialist Party” and moving to rebuke the three Republican senators who supported the stimulus package.

In an e-mail sent Wednesday to the 168 voting members of the committee, RNC member James Bopp, Jr. accused President Obama of wanting “to restructure American society along socialist ideals.”

“The proposed resolution acknowledges that and calls upon the Democrats to be truthful and honest with the American people by renaming themselves the Democrat Socialist Party,” wrote Bopp, the Republican committeeman from Indiana. “Just as President Reagan’s identification of the Soviet Union as the ‘evil empire’ galvanized opposition to communism, we hope that the accurate depiction of the Democrats as a Socialist Party will galvanize opposition to their march to socialism.”

The resolution, proposed by a committeeman from Washington state, was agreed upon by 16 RNC members from 16 different states and is part of a petition asking RNC Chairman Michael Steele to set a special committee meeting next month when the state chairs meet in Washington, D.C.

lol the name doesn't even make grammatical sense.

Steele, for once, avoided foot-in-mouth disease and opposed the measure.  He agreed Obama was bringing us in a "socialist direction" or something like that but opposed making socialism-rhetoric official RNC jargon.

I can pull up the links but it's on theplumline

Aww right guys!  This move is sure to get fresh blood in our ranks so you guys can youthanize this party once and for all!

Once again I must ask why I'm supposed to take any of these people seriously.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Can we rename the Republican party the "Theocrat Capitalist party"?

[Platypus]

Can we rename the Republican party the "Theocrat Capitalist party"?

No, because the same is true of the Democrats. How about Evangelical Corporatist Party?

[Smash255]

I beg the GOP to adopt this platform.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Indeed... the GOP needs to be more vocal about freedom fighter initiatives as this.  It really speaks to the sound principles and values of the party.

Perhaps we should just rename the GOP the Corporate Christian Capitalist Party... You know.. the CCCP.

How about the Nasty, Sectarian, Duplicitous, Angry Party (NSDAP)?

//sorry for that

Man this is devastating. The Dems had better start drafting their resumes now.  I mean tossing the word "socialist" around has really worked well during my little lifetime. Every time a Pubbie slapped the label "socialist" on  his Dem opponent, the Pubbie won. It was like socking Superman with a slug of kyptonite - the bad guys are as good as dead!

I love it when attack ads show images of their target looking shifty and/or confused.  I don't know why, I just do.

That is pretty disgusting BRTD isn't it?  I hope that kind of advertising doesn't work anymore, but I guess some think it still does. In a way, the ad communicates to me that the guy must have a pretty "clean" record, since the "best" that this ad could come up with was guilt by supporter association. Is that all there is?
