Dems:  
We may not enthrall you, but we won’t embarrass you.

Pubs:  
We can’t tell you why you should vote for us, it’s classified. But you should. And you will.

Dems:  
All we have to do to improve over the Republicans is NOT do stuff that’s obviously stupid and evil. We can manage that.

Pubs:  
Vote for us if and express your hatred of all Americans who are different in any way, especially gay Americans.

[QUOTE=featherlou]  
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. 😃

Yeah, like, if we had elected Al Gore president in 2000, we would STILL be in Iraq! Totally! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yes, 1992-2000 was _exactly_ like 2001-present. No difference whatsoever.

Sorry, **featherlou** , that hip disaffected “oh they’re all the same” bullshit just won’t fly anymore. We’ve looked into the abyss of a Republican government. People know what it looks like, and know that it is a very different and very scary thing.

Voting for the one you’d like to drink a beer with? How’s that workin’ for you?

GOP Voters: Would _you_ say your biggest mistake was trading Sammy Sosa?

Democrats: Basing our decisions in reality since 1792.

Republicans: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…uh… won’t get fooled again.

Vote Democrat and put science back in the schools.

Give the Republicans a real accountability moment.

Dammit, I forgot one:

A successful Republican government is just around the corner!

or, alternatively:

Vote Republican! We’ll be a success, just give us six more months and you’ll see.

I like this one! Here are my suggestions:

– Vote Democrat. Because Patriots Act.

– Democrats: Because the ideas of creating fear in the populace, fortifying borders in the name of “freedom,” spying on citizens who may be affiliated with the wrong group, detention without trial by presuming guilt not innocence, and questioning one’s patriotism based on one’s support of the administration should have died with the USSR.

On the sillier side…

– Democrats. Now with 100% fewer hunting accidents.

“Democrats for National Unity—Unlike that party full of those drunken ignorant racist redneck god-jockey heehaws who should be ashamed to exist. Jeez, the boonies must be full of those animals. Please vote for us.”
