What Do You Think Of The Republican Party?

.

From Gallup.

More than 7 in 10 Americans use a word or phrase that is clearly negative when providing a top-of-mind reaction to the federal government.

A Sept. 20-21 USA Today/Gallup poll asked respondents what they would say “if someone asked you to describe the federal government in one word or phrase.” The accompanying chart shows the results in graphic form, with the words or phrases displayed according to how frequently they are mentioned.

From a design perspective I like the Gallup word cloud.  I thought we might do a similar sort of thing except we’d replace federal government with ‘Republican Party’ and incorporate your responses in an illustration I’ll post tomorrow.  So here goes:

If someone asked you to describe the Republican Party in one word or phrase, what would you say?

    I’m not feeling a lot of that liberal open-mindedness that you guys are famous for.

    Here’s a link to what others think about liberals.

  15. Thank you for the laugh, Tommy. I wasn’t aware liberal traits include “alcohol abuse”, “internet trolling” and “San Francisco values”. And what the heck is “evolution syndrome”?

  16. Tommy Pane says:

    Life is just a mirror, bro. What you see in others, is in you. The rewards are many if a person uses the mirror as a tool for self reflection.

  17. “Life is just a mirror, bro. What you see in others, is in you.”

    Not really, Tommy. We can recognize genius or idiocy in others without it being a reflection of ourselves.

    Now excuse me. The little woman has to make a speech about how much she enjoys witchcraft, lack of sex, and aerial wolf hunting. I have several appointments to keep, including one at the airport mens room and another at American Crossroads about a very large anonymous donation.

    RE: http://www.conservapedia.com/Category:Liberal_Traits

    That’s a lot of name calling, Tommy. Why don’t we stick to the Facts son, just the Facts! The Fact is, Liberals are mad because of all the “LIES” that have been told. If your Facts are based on lack of information, keep reading Mario’s blogs. It’s called “information,” which the GOP seems to be lacking!
