Thread: What is the Republican equivalent of the term 'Limousine Liberals'?

I can't think of one at the moment.

A Republican

Camper Conservative?

Greedy evil rich guy who doesn't pay enough taxes?

Actually, there is no equivalent. The term "Limousine Liberal" infers a level of hypocracy. Conservative rich people have no such hypocracy.

I agree with DbT.

Calling some politician a Limousine Republican is like calling some politician a Immoral Democrat.

Only if the trailer trash hypocritically thinks it's good to be rich.

I don't see the hypocrisy in the term - I mean I know it's intended as a slur of course, but someone who upholds the social contract and is willing to pay their fair share of taxes and who happens to have enough cash left over to cruise around in a limousine is simply a wealthy person with liberal leanings. Where's the hypocrisy?

On the republican side, a "church-going conservative" or a "right-wing christian" are certainly hypocritical because they profess to believe in Christ and act on his teachings but they actually just want to stuff their pockets regardless of the cost to others. Hardly "christ-like", eh?

A Limo Liberal wants to do good with OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. That's why he's liberal. That what liberal means. Thus he's a hypocrite. If he weren't he wouldn't be rich. He'd have given all his money to the government.

Why so mad and hating all the time?

George Bernard Shaw, as he left a socialist rally in London during the 30, was asked how he could advocate for the poor while at the same time driving a limousine. He replied by saying that he hoped one day all people could have chauffeured limousines.

I like this version better though, it's more updated.


Of course what the terms really means is a belief in the balance between individual ambition, and the public interest and good.

I was thinking more along the lines of all white, male, grey-haired types who do their politicking and wheeling and dealing behind closed doors via the old boy network and then proclaim to cherish free and open government. There's got to be a two or three word phrase for them?

Chauffeured by what? Certainly not by a person - I mean, they'd all be riding around in chauffeured limousines - right? Maybe the chauffeurs could all be highly intelligent monkeys. Monkeys!!!

Thank you Brian for crystallizing the absurdity that is liberal logic.

Don't blame poor Brian. He's probably just a student, in a school. An American school. What more could you expect.

Blame George Bernard Shaw.

Wasn't he the guy who got eaten by Jaws?

Sure they do, conservative "Christians".

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common -Acts 4:32
