refer to the ReTHUG Tea Party scumbags as Tea Party ReTHUGs and not as the freedom caucus. Fuck that shit...DUers do not buy into word spin from ReTHUGs.
Thank you.

I enjoy how GWB was derided as Chimpy McHitler but if someone used the same type of language against President Obama, they would be labeled as racist!
Using such terms (rethuglican) reminds me of the glory days of Jr. High School.

ReThugs, yes, that fits nicely.
