Are we going to put up with this?

RNC set to approve resolution rebranding the Democratic Party as ‘Democrat Socialist Party.’
Roger Simon reports this morning that the Republican National Committee will “approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the ‘Democrat Socialist Party‘” when they meet next week for a “special session.” When asked if the resolution would force embattled RNC chairman Michael Steele to use the label personally, an RNC member replied, “Who cares?” Steele wrote a memo last month in opposition to the resolution that he believed the label would “accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans.” Read the resolution here.

If they can rebrand us we can rebrand them.

2. At this point, we should stick with just laughing at them.
Because it's pretty laughable.

23. Why should we stoop to their level? Just laugh at them.
Making a response to this nonsense is exactly what they are hoping for us to do. They want us to get frustrated and start coming up with names for them. The more we react the more they get out of this. I think we should all just marvel at what a disaster their party is. They are obviously in deep trouble if they think that their time is best spent on childish attempts to make fun of the Democrats.

And I speak for all socialists when I say that.

5. This is Going to Backfire
They might have been able to get away with if the GOP were more popular or the Dem incumbent less popular. But like so much else the party has done recently, it will seen as a game and people will just laugh at them.

19. I keep saying it. The repukes are just like Wile E. Coyote. Every time they pull one of their
"brilliant" stunts they go right over the cliff, just like Wile E. after the Roadrunner with rocket propelled roller skates. :rofl:

8. While some people try to get things done.
The Republicans are having meetings about shuffling around labels.

GOP the party of empty slogans and name calling.

GOP they will use any label, that people don't know what it really means.

GOP changing the meanings of words, since they can't change anything else.

how are these?

17. Wait. Is this from the ONION? This is serious?
They are having a 'special session' to 'approve a resolution' for juvenile name calling???

Seriously?

If this isn't a joke, then the joke's on them in the form of the final nail for their coffin.

18. Wow! The intellectual deficit among the leadership
of the GOP is staggering. Do they really believe they can unilaterally change the name of an organization to which they do not belong? Do they think people won't notice that they did it, not the Democratic party?

If they do, then we should informally rename the GOP to the GOMP, an acronym for the Grumpy Old Man Party.

What a collection of morons, imbeciles, and cretins they are!

22. What do you expect from a political party who believes in governance through PR?
They're going to "rebrand" the opposition. Next they'll "target the right demographic" with "topic-specific slogans."

Before long they'll have a whole television network to themselves. When that happens you can start looking for the blonde who tells you about torture with a gleam in her eye. (Apologies to Don Henley.)

24. As far as I know they have no legal control over the name of the Democratic Party
and therefore no power to rebrand it. So all they're doing is name-calling.

If they want act like a bunch of childish name-calling adolescents I guess that's up to them but they sure as hell don't deserve any respect if they do.

It's not like they haven't been doing similar stuff all along. This time they're just taking it to a new level by having a resolution. This also takes them to a new level of idiocy.

People who don't have a valid argument resort to name-calling.
