[QUOTE=ElvisL1ves] Not original, but: The country is like a car. To go backwards, put it in R. To go forwards, put it in D. [/QUOTE] The problem is that a little reverse is precisely what is needed. A time machine back to 1997 would be super. ---

Republicans lately have been “Goofy but lovable!” and democrats have been “Probably smarter than you.” I think those would fit pretty nicely onto campaign pins. ---

“Because even if we don’t do shit, you’ll still love the peace and quiet.” This is spawned from my serious belief that if the upcoming government announced it’s plans to spend four years with it’s thumb way up it’s ass and watching TV, there’d be spontaneous festivals thrown on the streets. All they need to do is to do absolutely nothing, as long as there’s no fuck-ups. ---

Dems: We _invented_ the “reach around”! Dems: If you’ve got to take it up the ass, then why not take it from someone who _supports_ gay marriage? Dems: Blowjobs for everybody! Dems: Come on, how bad could we be compared to Bush? Dems: Really, what choice do you have? Pubs: We’re _nice_ guys! Pubs: Bush who? Pubs: Come on, baby, we can change! Trust us!

“Who else are you going to vote for, that character actor?” “Vote Republican, if you like to see absolutely everything in America fucked up.” “2001-2008: That’s what happens when you empower a party that hates government.” “Can you feel the compassion?” " ‘Compassionate conservative’ just means that they use K-Y.’ " “The GOP candidate: None of the above.” “GOP Governance: Iraq, Katrina, Cheney, 9/11, anthrax, Abramoff, Gonzales, Foley, gay porn White House correspondents, Cunningham, DeLay, Doolittle, outing intel agents, Libby, Ney, heckuva job Brownie, Harriet Miers, secret wiretapping, […] and, oh yeah, Bush.” ---

I don’t have a dog in this race, but I think a good basis for slogans would be something along the lines of: “like government, only honest” “Like politics, only responsible” “Like a president, only coherent” … ---

[QUOTE=athelas] Vote us in if you want change. And then we’ll just do the same crap anyway. [/QUOTE] I like this one the best. In my opinion, anyone who thinks different parties are actually different from each other are kidding themselves. The over-reaching mandate of any elected party is to get re-elected; any governing that happens along the way is incidental. And the elected fools aren’t the ones running the country, anyway. That would be your civil servants. Sorry to be a wet blanket. Please, carry on with pretending that dems are different from pubs. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-slogan-for-the-democrats-next-election/413479.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-slogan-for-the-democrats-next-election/413479.md?page=3)
