Campaign slogan for the Dems

[OnionPatch]

Some friends and I were talking tonight about that Michael Fox movie where he goes back in time and then spends the whole movie trying to get back to the future. That was the name of the movie and we think "Back to the Future" should be the new Dems slogan because America's been going backward since Bush stole the 2000 election.

"The Democratic Party 2006: Back to the Future".....we liked it, but then we've been putting back quite a few beers this evening, too. :beer:

1. You are the DECIDER

[trisha]

2. You are the DECIDER

Freedom to choose.

[last1standing]

3. LOL! I like it.

Of course my favorite is "It's the incompetence, Stupid!"

[Haole Girl]

4. How about: It's ok to fear, but not fear one's own government

Or,

Blaming Clinton will only get you so far!

Or,

Was the mission ever accomplished?

[Neil Lisst]

5. Don't Sit on your Vote this time!

I'll offer this. It's either a 2 part cartoon, or preferably, an inexpensive TV commercial.

We see four citizens sitting on the back bench of the bus, or perhaps a bench on the subway.
Voice over:
"Did you sit on it last election, and wish you hadn't?

Then they all nod in the affirmative, and get up. After they leave, we see it says V-O-T-E spelled out on the four seat backs where they were sitting.
announcer and onscreen:
Don't sit on your vote this election!
Get UP and use it. Vote Democratic!!

6. How about:

Adults back in charge.

[Skittles]

7. I like HAD ENOUGH????

that is classic

[radfringe]

9. I like them both

for different reasons...

You are the DECIDER is empowering - this is good for rallying the base

had enough is good for those leaning over the fence and grumbling but haven't climbed over that fence

[Norrin Radd]

10. That's a great cartoon!

[BeFree]

8. Back to the Future, is a great slogan!

President Clinton set us on course to build a bridge to the 21st century but the course set since then is taking us back to the fifties, now its time for the course of this country to turn: Back to the Future.

Of course, first, we will have to Veto the e-voting.

11. be careful with using 'back to the fifties'

A lot of people have this sort of fucked up view of the fifties. Happy Days and The Fonz. Rock and Roll innocence. Family values. Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best. Girls in church on sunday with gloves on their hands and hats on their heads, the boys in little man suits with ties and shoes that caused blisters. That's the picture most people have of the fifties. They recall it as a better time.

Of course, they forget the lynchings in the south. The forget duck and cover and us kids living in mortal fear of being vaporized by a 'nukulur' bomb. They forget poverty and segregation and the military industrial complex and the cold war and ... and .... and.

For most people today, the fifties doesn't conjur up 'backwards'. It conjurs up 'better'.
