We can do it.

Think "Conservative", think "DeLay"

Think "RW'er", think "Abramoff"

Think "'christian' Right", think "Religious Extremists opposing an HPV Vaccine"

It's time to strike back.

Think 'Katrina'
Think 'huge increase in poverty'
Think 'tax cuts for the wealthy'

2. They've already done it to themselves.
Conservative used to mean something very different
and the Republicans have distorted the party to represent
extreme fundie-freeper hate-mongering and corruption.

We don't need to "make" conservative mean something else
in the way that repukes lie and distort to smear their opponents...

we just need to tell the truth... loudly and often.

Thank the conservatives.. the crooks have done it to themselves.

3. Don't Say Opposing HPV Vaccine
They are opposing a vaccine that could save women's lives. They are letting radical idealogy stand in the way of health care.

6. Yes indeed, it's time to reclaim
the linguistic rights to who we are--to counter the "bleeding heart, commie pinko librul" epithet, how about "cringing, fear-mongering, backward- looking conservative"? Just a suggestion...SG

7. conservative is a dirty word
to me it implies:

liars, hypocrits, people unwilling to take personal responsibility, crybabies and sisies, lawbreakers, and corrupt
