What's the FIRST word that comes to mind ...

[NanceGreggs]

... when you think about Republicans?

For me, it's hypocrisy. Their "good Christian family values" invariably disappear when one of their own is caught red-handed (or red-dicked) having their shitty diapers changed at a brothel, screwing their soon-to-be third wife while still married to their second wife, deciding that deficits don't matter if it's a Republican running up the tab, et cetera.

What's your word that describes Republicans?

[GReedDiamond]

1. They are now just plain fascists, imo...nt

[Heartstrings]

2. I would tend to agree...

hypocrisy....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I'm with you, Nance...........hypocrisy is the first word that comes to my mind.

I cannot for the life of me fathom how they can "think" this way. If indeed we can even call it thinking.

It just boggles my mind.......or what's left of it!

[madamesilverspurs]

4. If there is a word

that conveys desperate dishonesty, that's the word.

[William769]

5. Traitors. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

6. Mean.

If I meet a stranger saying very mean and cruel things about people, especially if the target seems vulnerable in some way, I later discover that person is Republican about 99% of the time (when I've bothered to find out).

Democrats say mean things too, but it's usually directed at abusive authority.

[Duppers]

15. +100

Exactly.

That's their number one trait; hypocracy and idiocy are running neck and neck for their second.

[blueseas]

56. +1001

In their minds: I have mine, too bad for you.

[doc03]

7. Greed nt

[Mendocino]

58. Exactly

I have never met a repub that wasn't money crazy and power hungry.

[world wide wally]

8. Phoney

[NBachers]

9. analworms

[Bozvotros]

13. This. NT

[brer cat]

10. Hypocrisy is first

followed closely by sociopath.

[Warpy]

11. Oh, but there are so many scrolling past like Star Wars opening credits

in bright yellow, cowardly colored letters, all together in rows and columns.

For the leadership: mobsters, traitors, skinflints, liars, thieves, cheaters, hypocrites, manipulators, criminals, dogmatists, troglodytes, Tartuffes, dolts, and on into modifiers of such and unfair comparisons to the animal kingdom.

For the rank and file: stupid, spiteful, uninformed, disinformed, misinformed, suckers, chumps. deluded, star-struck, disengaged, cultists, bigots, belligerents, loudmouths, and of course, the perennial favorite, hypocrites.

Then of course, the synonyms start to fly by in the next block of cowardly colored yellow text.

And if I weren't dog tired right now, I could probably keep going all night.

[phylny]

12. Evil. n/t

[FuzzyRabbit]

14. Evil. Everything they want to do is designed to cause pain and suffering

for as many people as possible.

They want to eliminate food stamps, medicaid, medicare, and social security causing the poor to suffer and die.

They want to gut anti-pollution laws (what they call "job-killing regulations&quot that protect our water, land and air. Again, thousands will die unnecessarily.

They want to turn our national parks over to mining and logging companies. So much for America the beautiful.

They want to cut taxes for their billionaire friends while raising taxes on the poor and middle class.

They are willing to let our infrastructure rot away. The US is becoming a third world nation, more rapidly than most Americans realize.

They are wanting the American government to fail so they can establish a plutocratic government.

Evil through and through.

[Liberty Belle]

16. Cruel. Though evil and greedy are strong runners-up.

They don't care about anyone but their corporate masters and themselves.

[BigBearJohn]

17. reprobates

[yuiyoshida]

18. I will say it...

ASSHOLES.

[irisblue]

40. yup!

[stage left]

19. Destroyers. nt

[Hulk916]

20. Commie lovers

[luvMIdog]

21. denial was the first word that popped in my head just now when I saw the word republican

It was after reading the first line you wrote. ".. when you think about Republicans? "




Later at the end you wrote " What's your word that describes Republicans? " I think I would choose 'hypocritical' if given more time to think about it.

[RainCaster]

22. Self-serving

Sorry, it's two words.

[napi21]

23. Evil, wicked, mean, nasty, liars who care about ONLY about themselves! nt

[SergeStorms]

24. Bullies.....

comes to mind when I think of their tactics about EVERYTHING! But that's just me. I like all the others as well, though.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Short-sighted.

So much cruelty and stupidity can be ascribed to, really, a failure of vision.

[underthematrix]

26. LIARS

[blue neen]

27. Mendacious...

freaking outrageous lies on an hourly basis.

[argyl]

28. Corrupt.

[tenorly]

30. Hypocrisy it is.

All politicians dabble in it, of course. But our dear old GOP has, since 1980 or so, taken it to a whole new level.

It all started with Reagan's massive deficits, even as he preached "fiscal conservatism" while implying that "welfare queens' were to blame. But it really took shape during all the Iran-Contra drug-running - which, of course, went on with full Whote House support while they paraded Nancy around with her "Just Say No" shtick.

That takes Chutzpah, I'll give them that.

[State the Obvious]

31. "Anti"-Christian

Their behavior (hateful, arrogant, intolerant, hypocritical) is the complete opposite to the basic tenets of Christianity.
Do they think we don't notice this?

[askyagerz]

32. Depends on what kind of republican

For the average voter I say ignorant.
For the fat cat on the hill I say sly cunning evil greedy egotistical piece of shit fascists... wait is that more then one word?

[kag]

33. Stupidity!

Although, I think hypocrisy might eclipse the stupid factor in most cases. It just seems like in order to fathom the depths of hypocrisy to which they sink on a daily basis, we have to consider how absolutely moronic they are.



BTW, nice thread.

[flying-skeleton]

34. Too foul to print here

[bearssoapbox]

35. When thinking of reTHUGliCON politicians...Killers.

reTHUGliCONS in general?

Uncaring.

[democratisphere]

36. Brainwashed.

[MyNameGoesHere]

37. No words

[Arkansas Granny]

38. Have to agree with hypocrisy. They show it every day.

[JHB]

39. Vandals

[Useless in FL]

41. Bullies!

[Vinca]

42. Despicable . . . in oh so many ways.

The sheeple cry no jobs and poverty while voting for people who aren't interested in anything but money for themselves. They bellyache about abortion as if a Republican has never had an abortion. They thump their Bibles while ignoring or twisting everything that's in it. They will occasionally accept a gay person . . . if it happens to be their loved one. Guns are great, even after they shoot their big toe off while cleaning theirs. I could go on and on, but you all know.

[dalton99a]

43. Yes, it's hypocrisy

It pervades everything they do

[Javaman]

44. fools. nt

[Greybnk48]

45. LIARS. They LIE about everything. LYIN' Paul Ryan.

Lying Pence, McConnell the traitor, all of them in Congress, especially the House just lie at will.

[SticksnStones]

46. Duplicitous

Some people become politicians to participate in public service.

Most republican politicians give off the vibe that they got into politics to make money.

[sinkingfeeling]

47. Cheats.

[Initech]

48. Assholes.

The term "compassionate conservative" is an oxymoron.

[erinlough]

66. This.

[WomenRising2017]

49. Selfish

All of their policies are geared towards hurting the most vulnerable.

[mcar]

50. Hypocrisy

They don't even try to pretend they're not hypocrites.

[BrooklynTech]

51. Heartless

They are certainly hypocrites, but the one word that comes to my mind when I try to sum up Republicans in one word is "heartless" (actually it's two words, "heartless bastards&quot .

[gopiscrap]

69. welcome to DU

[BrooklynTech]

70. Thanks :)

[randome]

52. Lazy.

[Gothmog]

55. The word that comes to mind is assholes

[njhoneybadger]

57. Self-righteous

[CanonRay]

59. Greed.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

60. Their leaders: "thieves," their voters: "stupid," but, yeah, "hypocrite" is the connecting thread.

[The Big Ragu]

61. Jagoffs

[randr]

62. Traitor

[DFW]

63. Useless

Except to themselves and their financial benefactors, and the bullies that get away with acts of violence, discrimination and intimidation.

But to the rest of the country--they will undertake moves that sooner or later either do not improve the lives of their constituents or make them downright worse. Only because they watch Fox Noise and listen to National Hate Radio do their supporters get their brains washed on a daily basis, thinking they are being patriotic and doing the work of their imaginary friend in the sky. They somehow think they are making America great again, even though it never quite seems to happen.

Godot will show up any minute now because Fox and Frauds said so, and they'll beat the shit out of you if you say you doubt it.

[Motley13]

64. deplorable

but hypocrisy is best

[treestar]

65. Agree with you

No matter what the issue, right wingers flip their standard. The only useful thing about Donald's EC win is that we can now forever refer to him.

Next Democratic President -

Right Winger - President Democrat plays golf and does not work.

Us: Donald.

Right Winger - President Democrat goes on vacation too much

Us: Donald

Right Winger - President Democrat does not have good family values - his wife is a man (her husband is a woman), other stupid shit, etc.

Us: Donald

Right Winger - Democratic candidate does not have enough experience to be POTUS.

Us: Donald

They can never make these claims again. Donald has wrecked it for them.

[Doreen]

67. EVIL

[sammythecat]

68. Stulephidish

A mix of stupid and selfish.

Not very catchy but I'm trying to satisfy the belief that in an infinity of universes every conceivable thing will happen at least once, which, by the way, I've come to learn is not true at all.

[JCinNYC]

71. WWDD

What would a Dick do?
Yes, definitely hypocrites but they also seem to go out of their way to go one step beyond hypocrisy- just flat out being dicks about everything

[lpbk2713]

72. Devious

They can't be trusted.
