can we please stop referring to Rice
Advertisements [?]
by the cute nickname, ala Shrub? When we do this, we are lessening the evil that the lying POS has done.

By referring to Rice (and all the rest of the repugs) by cute nicknames, we are granting them a status as a "nice" person and giving them credence as human beings.

There is something to be said for language being a powerful means of communicating. The repukes have been very successful in framing the context of issues and people by their usage of terms and names.

We need to use every weapon in the war against them. If we are less than 100% determined, we will lose.
