Anyone else think it's time for the Repubs to choose a new symbol?

[badgerpup]

They use the elephant, and the old saying about elephants goes:
(all together now, people)

An Elephant Never Forgets.

That has become an almost laughingly ill-fitting motto for this current crop of Repubs, and I don't know what might be an appropriate symbol for them at this point.

Judging by the testimony I'm seeing here, most of these people can barely be trusted to remember their own freakin' NAMES or where they live, let alone whether they authorized or participated in something that affects the entire country.

I'm wondering if it would save time for everyone who is under subpoena, or is about to be questioned to undergo a strict memory evaluation, performed by non-partisan experts in this particular field.

Those who fail this evalutation will be immediately fired and barred from holding public office again* and replaced with people who don't suffer from such impaired cognitive faculties.

Everyone else- those who can remember what day of the week it is they did, when, with whom and for how much will be allowed to retain their jobs- and expected to testify as scheduled.

Three consecutive "can't/don't remember" answers, or more than a predetermined number during testimony means they automatically lose their positions and are replaced, just like the ones who flunked the exam.

*Maybe they ought to be allowed to re-test...but a successful re-take means they would have to testify as originally scheduled.

And it still would not be long enough.

2. Hey, I think that's a bit unfair,

Lurita remembered the cookies at the "brown bag lunch".

3. A dinosaur would be appropriate.

The November elections proved that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Not to mention I hear they had brains the zsize of a walnut?

[eppur_se_muova]

43. And some (like sauropods) an 'extra brain' in the, ah, "lumbar" region...

saves the effort of bending over! :D

[ComerPerro]

4. another thread here, someone made a GOP Goldfish

[badgerpup]

6. I know...saw it right after I posted mine.

Goldfish are rather pretty though...and that doesn't fit this particular bunch or repubs either.
:rofl:

[Jennicut]

5. Elephants are too good for the likes of the Reuggs!

They deserve...COCKROACHES! Thats what I think of whenever I see one of them. Icky but can be squished easily and quickly.

[Cabcere]

40. Yeah, but it's often said that cockroaches

can survive a nuclear holocaust, and it appears that we may be heading in that direction already. Those madmen don't need any more incentives! :scared:

[sce56]

7. How about the Hippo? For the Hypocrites they are

Of course I would feel sorry for the poor animals being likened to such evil filthy beings!

[saltpoint]

8. Maybe a Warren G. Harding bobblehead doll?

[Liberty Belle]

9. Rats would be appropriate, since they're all jumping off a sinking ship.

[Eagle_Eye]

15. I like it! The new republican symbol: THE RAT

11. Re: Anyone else think it's time for the Repubs to choose a new symbol?

I'm sure elephants think so.

[pnwmom]

12. They're hippos. Or hippo-critters.

And they're getting worse and worse.

13. A lie on full of bull n/t

[hvn_nbr_2]

14. Two hands

One giving the one-finger FU salute, the other grabbing a handful of $1000 bills.

16. GOP announces the elephant is dead

in keeping with Bush policies and in order to not embarrass the president, the GOP has now adopted the ostrich as its symbol. If it's good enough for our President to hide from things he'd rather not acknowledge, it's good enough for us.

Surveys among GOP loyalists show strong support for the new symbol. They admire the quick adoption by the GOP Senators who refused to discuss the Iraq surge even though Iraq is the single most important issue to their constituents.

A few loyalists requested that a diaper be placed on the ostrich's behind so they didn't have to inadvertently see any private parts.

Others did not recognize the animal based on the 'head in the sand' sketch. They asked if the beheading was intended to demonstrate strength to al quaida.

21. BWA HA HA!

:spray::rofl:


shameless :kick:

[Cabcere]

41. LOL!

:spray: :rofl: Brilliantly hilarious, and entirely appropriate. :thumbsup:

[guitar man]

17. yeah

this one seems most appropriate for them

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Yes I do!

[n2doc]

22. I think this would be appropriate:

"The Heads-up-their-asses party"

[northofdenali]

23. How about this guy?

Can't you just picture Rover and Dickie and Gonzo, et al, enjoying this?

[Marie26]

24. I nominate the weasel. nt

25. The condom

REPUBLICANS CHANGING SYMBOL
The Republican National Committee announced today that the Republican Party is changing its emblem from
an elephant to a condom.
The committee chairman explained that the condom more clearly reflects the party's stance today,
because a condom accepts inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of
pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually getting screwed.

[Cabcere]

42. Oh, that's clever!

:thumbsup: :rofl: I like it. :)

[many a good man]

26. Banana Republicans

[randr]

27. A "Revoke the Elephant" movement needs to be started

For the sake of all elephants their reputations should no longer be associated with a cult of people who make losing ones memory a sign of loyalty.
The only replacement I can think of would be the three monkeys; see no, hear no, and say no.

[Generic Brad]

28. A butt

They're assholes and they like to shit on the rest of us.

[KelleyKramer]

29. The "Bada Bing" logo...

If its good enough for a tee-vee crime family it should work for these criminals

[helderheid]

30. Goldfish?

[gatorboy]

32. Apparently the idea isn't as common as I had hoped!

33. Poyfect! er, Poyfish!

[Swamp Rat]

31. No, their old symbol works just fine.

[byronius]

35. That's one of my favorites. I printed out a coupla those. Nice Art, Man.

Thanks.

37. I like this one:

I disagree with aligning any animal with them - it's too mean to the animals!!!

[EstimatedProphet]

38. I'd say a tapeworm

But, aren't their mascots the freepers?

[mopinko]

39. the stars on that elephant

just wish to point out that the stars on the gop logo are of the upside-down variety. this is the symbol of the goat, pan, anarchy, the devil.
so, no, i think their symbol suits them to a T.
