I think it should be Commies and Fascists. That would be much more accurate.

how about:
Democrats = Assholes*
Republicans = Assholes*
Politicians = Assholes*
* = exception for the .01% that aren't

Most of thr countries we call communist were actualy very fascist in nature. The USSR, Red China, and Cuba may all be better examples of the practicing fascist nations than communist ones.

I must agree with that too. But I was thinking more to have the Name be descriptive of their beliefs and policies, rather their personalities and actions.

Democrats: capitalist
Republicans: more capitalist

maybe we should just give the spend thrift Democrats their own place to live, like Taxachussets, while the rest of us god fearing gun lovers continue to wage war on every oil producing nation we can fail at.

... For the Indiana Caucus, the Democratic Party is assigning "watchmen" to guard against cross-over votes. Too many Republicans were registering as Democrats in attempt to keep Hillary in the race, to keep her and Obama beating the crap out of each other for as long as possible (as opposed to having McCain get beat on).
... The Democratic Party of Indiana will question any voters who seem "suspicious", possibly deny them their vote, and make any who register Democrat for the first time swear an oath to the party to uphold its values, under the threat of possible persecution should "malicious intent" be discovered.
... Now, if that doesn't sound a bit black-boot & brown-shirt, I don't know what does.

So, which is more absurd, trying to sabotage the opponents voting process, or trying to prevent the sabotage? Rather, which is more mature, and illustrative of a logical mind?

... The rules have to be changed, it's not that hard. Republicans cannot vote Democrat in every state.
... What is absurd is people getting upset about the crossovers when crossovers from the Dems gave McCain the nomination and destroyed Romney. The Republican parties of the states did not send out "enforcers" to prevent this.

no offense Nobunaga, but that's the same old fucking bullshit Republican party line. "well, they did it first..."
i'm completely in agreement with Neoteny on this one. Republicans are not always, but way too frequently have failed to emotionally mature beyond 4th fucking grade.

This phrase doesn't exactly show signs of emotional/mental development. Tossing out swears like that give you the image of a snub-nosed teen-aged brat. They certainly make it harder for your point to be put across.
Anyways, my nominations:
Democrats -> Moderate Conservatives
Republicans -> Radical Conservatives
Kucinich and Gravel -> Liberals
They're a party in and of themselves.

Right. I'm sensing a sort of deep-seated conflict with your son/daughters' schoolboard. Maybe something you could take up directly with
them?
(I think I fit in with the head-shrinking crowd too...)

no, not all. i just agree with Mark Twain's sentiments about school boards. if you don't know his famous quote, i suggest you look it up.
or else go back to burying your head in the sand and continue using the fallacious argument about profanity discrediting the point. cause, you know, you doing that only reinforces the point i was making... about the whole "they did it first" thing.
but hey, nice try.
