Rethuglican (2000?)

[Barnhart]

I've done a little digging and found:


Rethuglican ... ProQuest 0.... Google News 1.... Nexis 2
Repuglican ... ProQuest 2 .... Google News 1 .... Nexis 9
Resmuglican ... ProQuest 0 ... Google News 0 ... Nexis 1
Repiglican .... ProQuest 3 ..... Google News 0 .... Nexis 5
Redumplican ... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 ... Nexis 0
Rebooblican ... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 .... Nexis 0
Reporklican ... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 .... Nexis 1
Repooplican .... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 .... Nexis 0
Reputzlican .... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 ... Nexis 0
Repukelican .... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 ... Nexis 0

and Reglumlican .... ProQuest 0 .... Google News 0 .... Nexis 1

Google numbers can be useful.  However, the very large numbers of Google
sometimes leave me bewildered as to their utility in dictionary work.
