Hey fellow DUers, I happen to think elephants are really cool animals, but the Repukes have ruined it for me. If it were up to me, I'd like to see the elephants' image restored, and let the Repukes be represented by a more appropriate mascot.

1) Rat - 36 votes
2) Poop/shit/crap(various forms) - 15 votes

elephant poo

[Demanchor]

2. Botfly

[meadowlander]

3. Trichinella roundworm

The most common parasite on Russian bears and feral hogs.

[Tree-Hugger]

4. Be nice to the animal kingdom

I nominate a dingleberry that occasionally gets stuck to my cat's butt.

[CTyankee]

5. Not a poor, innocent animal. He's just a vile human being.

[FakeNoose]

8. This is in response to the cartoonists who always draw elephants and donkeys

... to represent the political parties. I've come to resent the depiction of elephants as Repukes, because elephants don't deserve such a nasty epithet. Obviously no cartoonists are going to change just because we pick something different to represent the Repukes.

[CTyankee]

11. At one time we had republicans that were decent, like Eisenhower.

Trump is like a cancerous growth. Hideous.

[LakeArenal]

15. Reagan couldn't get the nomination these days either

[Donkees]

6. Flesh eating bacteria

[50 Shades Of Blue]

7. Maggot

[shanti]

58. Exactly

White worm, that's a no brainer.

[hlthe2b]

9. Tapeworm (always feeding off everyone else, living in shit and then breaking off

in segments to infect many many more.





BTW, I think all the animals mentioned above are redeemable,or at least interesting and actually often quite friendly, pet rats included. So, tapeworm it is.

[roamer65]

47. I think you win the thread.

[GoCubsGo]

53. I was going to go with a cesspool, but this is just as fitting.

[Niagara]

12. A pile of crap 💩

[magicarpet]

13. How bout this,....

SATAN,....

[gopiscrap]

14. a drooping penis

[budkin]

16. Trump

That's what they are

[LuvLoogie]

17. That sewer-dwelling, shit sucker from X-Files.

?w=640

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. I can't think of an animal vile enough....how about an inanimate object...

A noose works for me.


?ve=1&tl=1

[LakeArenal]

19. This... I won't insult weasels.

[VGNonly]

20. Gollum

[onecaliberal]

21. Extreme 💩💩💩

[FrankTC]

22. Bat-Rat-Spider From A Cheesy Horror Flick

watched years ago.

Runner-up could be the giant blood-sucking spiders in the classic Eight Legged Freaks, now like Idiocracy revealed to be a documentary.

[RainCaster]

24. Elephant poop 💩💩💩

💩💩💩
👆👆👆

[Glorfindel]

25. Hagfish - world's slimiest creatures

[MuseRider]

27. I think it should be

a smell. NO animal, no matter how we think of them, deserves to be the name for those creeps. Surely we could create something we would all know what it was.

[FakeNoose]

28. Well yes, but the idea is how should the cartoonists portray them

You still have time to change your answer, if you'd like.

[2naSalit]

32. Orc or Troll.

[Maeve]

33. All the choices have valid useful roles in the environment

So they're too positive.

I'd go with the poop emoji

[FelineOverlord]

34. Cockroach

[Jilly_in_VA]

37. I'd vote for that

Can't think of a single redeeming feature those things have.

[Demsrule86]

35. A skunk... You can smell their evil ways from a mile away.

[Talitha]

36. Anus - doesn't matter what animal it's from.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. MAGAt (old spelling is "maggot").

[Mossfern]

61. This

Perfect

[Scottie Mom]

39. I say, "Jackass" fits nicely. EOM

[blueinredohio]

40. A horses ass.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

41. Slug

Hit them with a purifier like salt and they die

Or roaches

[Arazi]

42. #Traitor's puckered lips that look like an asshole

Just a closeup shot of that

[FakeNoose]

43. LOL! I've got just the right visual (apologies to cat lovers)

46. Don't Tutch The But

definitely

[EndlessWire]

49. Gawd, that made me laugh! n/t

[CTyankee]

59. OK, I laughed out loud at that!

[area51]

44. A pile of crap. n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

45. A pile of shit

[DemocraticPatriot]

48. The symbol of the GOP should be the Giant Asshole on legs, from

near the end of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" film... (one of the animated sequences)

(beginning 3:37)


My second choice is the maggot, which ought to have been included in the poll...

[Buns_of_Fire]

50. A dung beetle. With orange hair and a red necktie. nt

[Ilsa]

52. sack of liquid crap.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

55. How would you illustrate a cross between a dinosaur, a honey badger, a snake and a rat?

Dinosaur because of out-dated, out-of-touch thinking but with a big mouth.

Honey Badger as evidenced by aggressive, selfish, self-centered, take-no-prisoners behavior.

Snake due to deceptive, hide in a hole tactics but with deadly bite.

Rat represents amoral, sneaky and filthy natures.

Throw in a dose of Steve Bannon's DNA and you've got a perfect critter for a new GOP mascot.

Typical Republican news conference......



Apologies to our wonderful animal kingdom.

KY.......

[FakeNoose]

56. That's quite imaginative

[FakeNoose]

57. K & R for visibility

[Celerity]

62. Virus

[FakeNoose]

63. Works for me!

This is an awesome gif too.
