Should the Democratic Party's Donkey symbol be replaced? It's going up against a 5 ton elephant!

And that just isn't a fair fight!



And this new logo doesn't help much.



I think the jackass ought to be dumped.

Just don't know what to replace it with.

Maybe a little mouse?

:)

3. When did that happen? We use to ride them around a few thousand years ago.

I saw the Flintstones documentary.

5. They all died out in the great flood. They were too big to fit on Noah's Ark.

8. I don't think those little arms of his would have been much help, even with a swimming class.

4. The donkey doesn't need replaced--you ever dealt with one?
Edited on Sat Nov-06-10 01:16 PM by blondeatlast
That donkey can be stubborn but can get the work done when she makes her mind up to do so.

The trick of it is, the owner has to be tougher than the donkey. ;) That part needs LOTS of work.

Edit: I LOVE donkeys and have been around them, even helping train them for farm work. I'd have one in my apartment if I could, they are sweet, full of personality, and when they make up their minds to do something--unstoppable. As I say--the last part is the rub and it all depends on who's in charge.

11. Yes with a mouse. Elephants are afraid of mice...even Mythbusters says so
And if the party wanted they could go with Mighty Mouse rather than Mickey, or Stewart Little.

13. LOL - That would really cause Christine O'Donnell to lose her mind...
...since she thinks mice brains are being replaced with "fully functioning human brains." She'd come out screaming, "SEE, I TOLD YOU."
