Why do Republicans LOVE to overuse the word Liberal?

[thatsright]

When ever I hear a Republican politico who's running for office, or describing the ills of our country, I can always count down the seconds till I hear the word 'Liberal.' It usually pops up in the second or third sentence.

Living in Boston, it sort of reminds me of the VERY tired, hackneyed phrase "Yankees Suck, Yankees Suck, Yankees suck, that RedSox fans chant at games. Just like 'Yankees Suck,' Republicans saying 'Liberal' all the time is getting 'O so tired.

I'm surprised the hardcore Democrats in the USA haven't thought of a similar, compact word that connotes soo much to disparage republicans?

Get the lighters and matches out. Kindling is above.

wrong forum.

Whenever I hear blanket criticisms by wither party my mind transforms Liberal\Conservative into Sieg Heil.

 

[SoylentGreen]

If you don't agree with anything they believe in you're liberal.

Easy out.

 

[Kraeji]

dont be mad just b/c you are a liberal and they are calling you out

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

Because it sounds so VILE. Especially when combined with an appropriate two syllable adjective i.e.

dirty liberal
stupid liberal

And if they don't agree with anything you believe in they say 'Blah blah blah.'

because for republican, that's how they do their campaign. and because for democrats, that's not how they do it.

you bleeding heart liberal sheeple.

 

[yukichigai]

Belongs in P&N.

Though I don't remember many Democratic candidates slathering their speeches with the words "conservative" or "right-wing(er)". Weird. Usually both sides have different versions of everything the other does.

P&N is down the hall and to the right. You can't miss it, just follow the shouting.

Why do left wingers LOVE to overuse the word "neocon?" (especially in the P&N forum here, ugh) Same annoying deal.

 

[Jmman]

Neocon must have slipped his mind......

 

[Pers]

their limited vocabulary. i've heard scientific claims that humans have an unlimited mental capacity. repubilcans have since proven such theories incorrect.

But Neocon doesn't sound dirty at all.


It sounds more like...." Get $3000 Cash Back on the all new 2005 Ford Neocon SUV.'

 

[jjones]

Only a stupid liberal would bring this topic up in OT.

Neocon makes me think of transformers. So when will Bush turn into a truck?

 

[SuperTool]

Because they think if they say "Liberal" often enough, people will actually think there is something wrong with being a liberal.
And they are succeeding. Now people don't like being called "liberal." Of course if you ask them if they want Social Security, Medicare, Civil Rights, Public Health, College Financial Aid, and other Liberal programs or positions, they say yes. So they love to hate liberals, but don't you dare take away their liberal social programs.

It sounds about as "dirty" as liberal.

Yuck, social programs.

Just an observation..."Neocon" is a fairly new word being used. I don't think I ever heard it used prior to the Bush administration. Liberal has be thrown around for quite some time...
