PERRspectives Blog: Contest: What Does "GOP" Stand For?

June 16, 2006

	Contest: What Does "GOP" Stand For? With the November mid-term elections rapidly approaching, Democrats are trying to counter the perception, fostered by the Republican media machine, that their party doesn't stand for anything. But what does the GOP stand for? That's for you to answer in the Perrspectives "What Does GOP Stand For?" Contest. The contest is simple. Tell us what you think the three-letter acronym "GOP" now stands for. With the one-time budget balancers now the budget busters and the isolationists now nation builders, what does GOP mean? Has the "Grand Old Party" become "God's Own Party?" Greed Over Patriotism? Gauging Oil Prices? Gays On Pitchforks? Got Only Probation? Guilty On Plame? First prize for the most creative, original, irreverent or entertaining GOP definition is an iPod Shuffle. Second place earns you a $50 Amazon gift certificate. And the third place finisher will receive a Perrspectives "Conservative Threat Level" t-shirt. Use the Feedback Form or Comments area to submit your entries. Vote early and vote often (after all, it's what the Republicans would do). The contest closes on June 30, 2006. Winners will fittingly be announced on July 4th. NOTE: The DailyKos community is weighing in with their entries. Kossacks should be sure to comment here or use the Feedback Form so we can contact potential winners. —Perrspective 12:00 PM Permalink Comments Good Old Pork Posted by Michael in NYC at June 16, 2006 12:37 PM GOP = My Party Right or Wrong [See Rep.
